CenturyLink on Tuesday announced the addition of a new Government Cloud offering to its hybrid IT services portfolio.

CenturyLink said the new Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) service is available to federal government agencies and offers cloud colocation and managed hosting services. The service utilizes VMware’s vCloud Governement Services platform, CenturyLink said.

The Government Cloud is accredited under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, CenturyLink said.

“CenturyLink is proud to offer agencies an innovative cloud infrastructure service that complies with the government’s strict security requirements as well as our own,” said CenturyLink’s chief security officer Dave Mahon. “We invest heavily in robust cybersecurity protections across our extensive network and data center footprint.”

The service is available through CenturyLink’s General Services Administration (GSA) Networx contract and is planned to be available on other GSA contracts, the company said.
