Autonomic Resources a Government provider of cloud and emerging technologies, has entered into a strategic partnership with OnWire – an IBM Tivoli Security Services provider who also possesses extensive experience in delivering identity and access management solutions to the U.S. Federal government.
Autonomic’s strategic partnering assures their GSA cloud award (GSA IaaS Cloud) offerings are comprehensive in meeting requests for identity and cloud access management. The partnership will give Autonomic the ability to meet the Government needs for RFQs and SOWs which are starting to be released to GSA cloud awardees. OnWire will work with Autonomic in building federated identity and access management architecture and bring integration capabilities for public and private cloud offerings. OnWire’s partnership will help assure secure and interoperable agency LDAP integration into the ARC-P cloud.
Intending to utilize Autonomic’s GSA cloud contract and FISMA moderate certification in combination with OnWire’s engineering capabilities, the partnership will deliver solutions for the growing government requests on secure cloud computing, to include identity and access management.
“Already a strong IBM partner when Autonomic reached out to us to explain the strategic positioning they wanted to establish in government public cloud, we immediately understood the opportunity we collectively had. With Autonomic’s government security and contracting expertise, it was clear to OnWire this was a partner that understood what we could collectively bring to cloud Identity Management,” said Chonly Wang, Founder and Chief Technology Architect for OnWire. “Autonomic understood what they were looking for and zeroed in on our portfolio of successful work and woman-owned status.”
“The partnership formed with OnWire is another step that assures our Government customers not only have IaaS, but also the ability to use it securely on all our platforms – public, private and hybrid,” said John Keese, President of Autonomic Resources. “Identity management in the cloud has and will continue to be of substantial interest and concern for our government customers. Cloud in government is SOW & SLA based and not ‘click and buy’ portal based. Teaming and solution building are required to enable government cloud adoption, and ensure full realization of Cloud First policies. This partnership helps demonstrate we understand our customer and are serious about true cloud enablement in government.”
