ETS to leverage CSC's cloud services including CloudCompute Infrastructure as a Service

FALLS CHURCH, Va., Oct. 28 — CSC announced today that it has signed a five-and-a-half year information technology (IT) operations outsourcing contract renewal and expansion with Educational Testing Service (ETS), the leader in advancing quality and equity in education for people worldwide. The agreement was signed in the second quarter of CSC fiscal year 2012, and has an estimated value of more than $200 million assuming all options are exercised.

As part of the agreement, CSC will continue to bring new and innovative approaches to the way ETS leverages IT. CSC will provide its industry-leading cloud services to ETS including CloudCompute, the new infrastructure as a service (IaaS) architecture deployed in the CSC Trusted Cloud Datacenters. CloudCompute, a VMware vCloud Datacenter Service, delivers compute, storage and network resources "as a service" to support any application and is especially suited for hosting mission-critical and business-critical workloads.

"CSC has provided IT solutions for ETS since 2001. We are pleased to continue our long time relationship with CSC and are confident their IT solutions will have a positive effect on ETS business," said Daniel Wakeman, vice president and chief information officer at ETS.

Additional services that CSC will provide include service desk, end-user support, network support, distributed computing, security operations, disaster recovery and datacenter management services. Work will be performed utilizing CSC's worldwide network of delivery centers.

"We are excited at the opportunity to continue our work with ETS, an organization that has a strong grasp of the way IT can be used to more effectively and efficiently position their business for the future," said Joe Schechter, president, Managed Services Sector Americas, CSC. "We are committed to building on the great partnership we have formed with ETS and to further supporting their IT needs."

"Customers like ETS are invaluable to CSC because they are proactive in offering insights and feedback about their experience with our cloud services," said Siki Giunta, vice president, Global Cloud Services and Software, CSC. "As more organizations successfully leverage the CSC cloud to introduce agility into their IT operations, our position as a global leader in managed services across all delivery vectors continues to grow and evolve."

The CloudCompute infrastructure is built on the Vblock Infrastructure Platform from VCE, The Virtual Computing Environment Company.
