Dell has won a lot of federal business recently, announcing contracts with the US Department of Homeland Security, the General Services Administration and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The DHS and GSA deals for IT services and solutions can be worth up to US$22bn, the company said.

The vendor is part of a pool of contractors competing for DHS contracts on which the department plans to spend up to $20bn over ten years. The projects include development, maintenance and implementation of a range of IT solutions.

The GSA contract is worth $37.1m. The prime contractor on the deal, AAC, has chosen Dell to provide IT services to the administration.

The US enforcement agency that oversees civilian nuclear safety has tapped Dell to build an on-premise private cloud. Dell has designed the solution specifically for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to help it reduce costs and simplify operations.

Like most other federal government agencies, NRC is under pressure from the Office of Management and Budget to use cloud infrastructure. Besides the cloud infrastructure itself, Dell will help the agency consolidate data centers and replace aging equipment with modern IT services.

George Newstrom, VP of the group at Dell that provides services to the feds, said the deal exemplified the vendor's ability to help customers get the right cloud for their needs. “The NRC is a perfect example as it has strict standards and requirements that its systems must support in order to carry out its vital regulatory oversight mission,” he said.

NRC regulates civilian use of nuclear power and materials to protect public health and the environment. It licenses and inspects nuclear facilities and materials for compliance with standards.

This is an extension of Dell's relationship with the agency. The company also supports NRC's office of information services and all of its users, including data center operations and other IT services at the agency's headquarters and regional offices around the country.
