The Department of War has announced the launch of Olympus, a cloud management platform specifically designed for Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract holders using Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. This initiative streamlines cloud adoption and enhances mission capabilities for DOW agencies that are fresh in their cloud journey. Olympus utilizes a platform built on the Defense Information Systems Agency’s expertise to provide a secure, compliant and cost-effective managed hosting solution.

Key features and benefits
  • Simplified cloud governance: Pre-existing security authorizations and seamless integration with your existing environments reduce deployment time and compliance burden.
  • Cost-effective operations: Predictable costs and sustainable funding model ensure budget confidence while maximizing your current JWCC investment.
  • Enhanced security posture: Advanced security tools integrated with Cloud Access Point Internet Access Point and Zero Trust capabilities specifically configured for government-run environments.
  • Flexible management options: Choose between self-hosted services or a fully managed platform based on your team's expertise and requirements.
Deployment Options
Olympus offers two deployment models:
  • Self-hosted services: For agencies that prefer managing their own environment while leveraging Olympus security and connectivity services.
  • Fully managed platform: For agencies that want to focus on applications while Olympus handles the infrastructure management of their entire environment.
