Private Cloud+ Government - Cloud Services for Public Sector

Providing the utmost levels of control and security fpr government and other public‑sector organizations 


Maximum security, zero compromise on your government private cloud sovereignty

Your workloads are mission-critical. Your compliance requirements are non-negotiable. Your data sovereignty is paramount. Private Cloud+ Government is purpose-built for the unique demands of government and public sector organizations that can't take shortcuts.

Built with DXC's proven automation and management capabilities, including DXC OASIS-Powered Intelligent Operations, Private Cloud + Government mirrors Private Cloud+ Core and Private Cloud+ Dedicated managed service delivery models in many respects. These range from complete infrastructure management, to automation and orchestration, to monitoring and observability, to security services, self-service provisioning and ITSM integration. Managed services include IaaS (virtual machines with managed OS patching and domain integration), PaaS Databases (MS SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and middleware services, CaaS (Tanzu Kubernetes provisioning with namespace and registry management) and BaaS (comprehensive backup with Veritas NetBackup). DXC data centers, customers' own environments or third party co-location and edge sites are all accommodated.

But it takes it a step further for government and public sector organizations, being purpose‑built with a security‑first approach, incorporating industry‑standard controls, regulatory frameworks and required certifications to ensure a protected environment for applications, platforms and sensitive government data.  



What's included

Compliance-Ready Foundation

Private Cloud+ Government is architected to align with national and industry frameworks (such as defense and public sector standards, and privacy and data protection laws), and adaptable to accreditation regimes.

Dedicated and multi-tenant options

Those organizations with heightened sovereignty, performance or isolation needs can deploy a fully dedicated environment for complete control over infrastructure, configuration and in‑country residency for personnel. In the UK, a multi-tenant offering provides a secure, compliant cloud operated by appropriately vetted personnel in dual data centers.

Integration at all levels

A wide array of capabilities are available as a holistic, highly integrated set of services, with the ability to customize the solution to integrate with the customer's service management software and tools.


Features

Distributed firewall, microsegmentation, Endpoint Detection and Response, compliance scanning and vulnerability management are built into every layer. Network intrusion protection and perimeter security, SIEM integration for security event monitoring, antivirus, anti-malware and intrusion prevention and policy-based governance and enforcement are eqully part of operational security excellence. Our dedicated government teams ensure configuration compliance, patch management and adherence to regulatory standards specific to your sector.

Infrastructure as Code, self-service provisioning, CI/CD integration and automated Day 2 operations are included for speed and consistency.

Adapt your infrastructure to business demands with VM resizing, storage scaling, automated snapshots and evergreening options.

As a sovereign cloud provider for government, DXC supports the hosting location  in the customer data center, DXC data center, colocation or edge, with infrastructure isolation via dedicated hardware, hypervisors and management. The solution is highly customizable to specific requirements, accommodated by a DXC and customer partnership on design and operations, offering users complete control over data location and residency on a fixed price or pay-as-you-go model.

Secure UK and European based data centers are used to provide shared infrastructure with network isolation per tenant. Customers select from a standardized service catalog, and the service is fully managed by DXC with standardized operations on a pay-as-you-go consumption model, giving you more control.
