WASHINGTON — Dell announced today that it has been selected by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to build and install an on-premises, federal government compliant private cloud. Dell designed the cloud solution specifically for the NRC to help it achieve its business needs of reducing IT costs, simplifying operations, providing new technology and capability to the NRC user community and satisfying the Office of Management and Budget direction for each agency to establish a cloud instance. This agreement further showcases Dell’s customer-driven approach and cloud expertise.

Through the private cloud deployment process, Dell Services Federal Government will help the NRC consolidate data centers, replace aging equipment and take advantage of modernized IT services to deliver improved IT performance and an enhanced customer experience.

“We’re focused on helping customers select the right cloud for their unique business needs, including security and compliance. 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,” said George Newstrom, vice president, Dell Services Federal Group. “The Dell cloud solution is built to meet and exceed those requirements. We are, of course, humbled by the continued trust and confidence that NRC places in our end-to-end solutions and services and our team.”

NRC’s mission is to regulate the civilian use of nuclear power and materials in order to protect the health and safety of the U.S. people, environment and the nation. It licenses and inspects nuclear facilities and materials, enforcing compliance with strict standards and requirements.

In addition to Dell Services’ private cloud installation for NRC, Dell currently supports the NRC Office of Information Services and all NRC users, including data center operations and other information technology services at the NRC headquarters and NRC regional offices across the United States, under a contract awarded in 2011.

The NRC implementation is one example of Dell’s cloud capabilities, which center around three areas – providing private cloud, delivering cloud management and enabling public cloud.

Additional Dell offerings and capabilities include:

• Dell Cloud for U.S. Government
• Dell Cloud Services
• Dell Cloud Partner Program
• Dell Cloud Manager
• Dell OpenStack-Powered Cloud Solution
• Dell Desktop Virtualization
