Description

Militaries are turning toward cloud computing for hosting their digital assets in a unified security platform to promote cross-branch collaboration and manage security risks effectively. In this research service, Frost & Sullivan examines current market trends, identifies key cloud service providers and companies to watch, and offers insights into relevant projects and contracts. The analysis also explores the role of cloud in the regional military landscape and technology trends sparking innovation in the industry.

The commercial nature of most cloud combat systems means that sourcing directly from original equipment manufacturers rather than developing from scratch enables faster acquisition and deployment for defense departments. The United States is among the countries streamlining software procurement, as seen in the Department of Defense's Software Acquisition Pathway. However, transitioning to cloud hosting incurs high costs because of investments in hardware, software, and secure data centers, alongside expensive data migration and integration with legacy systems. Inflation also can reduce the real value of long-term contracts over time.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
