ManTech announced that it has won the Red Hat Partner award for Best DoD solution leveraging Red Hat hybrid cloud and open source technology solutions.
Red Hat selected ManTech for the top honour based on ManTech’s innovative use of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to develop the U.S. Army’s Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE), a world-leading training initiative that leverages best-in-class solutions to prepare next-generation cyber warriors for combat in the Fifth Domain. ManTech’s long and proven experience with Red Hat open source solutions was another key differentiator – the company is at the Advanced Level in the Red Hat Public Sector Program.
‘ManTech and Red Hat have worked together as partners since 2009, and this award underscores the importance of our strategic relationship and the value it delivers to our customers’, said Srini Iyer, ManTech’s Chief Technology Officer in charge of the company’s Innovation and Capabilities Office. ‘Together, we have set the standard for ManTech’s most vital mission – supporting national and homeland security.’
The innovative solution ManTech designed for the DoD is built on top of Red Hat technology, utilising many components of Red Hat’s open-source product suite. The solution provides a collaborative environment for best breed Cyber Training and Simulation Solutions Providers (CTS2Ps) to connect their Commercial Off Shelf (COTS) products. The CTS2Ps can integrate their individual solutions to create a cyber training platform that enables individual and force-on-force training within minutes of ordering by the end-user.
ManTech engineers designed the service definitions that allow for vendor applications to interoperate and speak the same language. This capability lets the customer control the communications between vendors and publish definitions so that CTS2Ps can integrate new applications seamlessly without having other applications changing in the background.
