Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 
The GovPoint Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) contains the basic building blocks for your cloud IT project. You can access the GovPoint networking features, computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data storage space. IaaS provides you with maximum flexibility and management control over your IT resources.
The GovPoint IaaS service can be used as the foundation and environment for any application that must be within a FedRAMP security boundary.
​
Compute Types
​
General Purpose Compute (GPC)
With GPC, you balance processors, RAM, and disk. It meets over 80% of computing requirements and is ideal for most web and database applications. GPC uses a blend of high I/O disks and SSDs. Users can choose between pre-configured and hardened images or customize processors, disk space, and RAM to meet particular needs.
 
High Demand Compute (HDC)
With HDC, you are assured that your most robust data, transaction, or workload-intensive applications operate flawlessly, regardless of the load. HDC is a high-processor, and high-RAM compute instance coupled with ultra-high-speed flash drives and 10 Gbps network connectivity.
 
Special Purpose Compute (SPC)
With SPC, you can create your instances from specialty hardware and software and even use your hardware. SPC fills gaps between the standard cloud offerings and dedicated hosting.
 
MainFrame as a Service (MFaaS)
FedRAMP Authorized Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS) offers a secure and compliant solution for organizations looking to leverage mainframe capabilities without the overhead of traditional infrastructure or to migrate and upgrade existing mainframe services to a FedRAMP environment. The service is delivered on a multi-tenant mainframe with dedicated LPARs, DASD storage, and tape capacity allocated based on client needs.
 
VMware on GovPoint
VMware on GCS is an integrated cloud offering that allows agencies to seamlessly migrate and extend their on-premises VMware vSphere-based environments to the GCS Cloud.
 
GCS Container Service for Kubernetes
GCS Kubernetes Container Service makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes in the GCS environment
 
GCS Container Service
The GCS Container Service is a scalable, high-performance container orchestration service that supports Docker containers, allowing you to run and scale containerized applications in the GCS environment. The GCS Container Service eliminates the need to install and operate your container orchestration software.
 
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
 
Platform as a Service (PaaS) eliminates the need for your organization to manage the underlying Infrastructure (usually hardware, databases, and operating systems). It allows you to focus on the deployment and management of your application. The GovPoint PaaS offers operating systems, databases, incident response, development, and messaging systems.
 
Platform Offerings:
 
Relational Database Services (GCS-RDS)
GCS Relational Database Services (GCS-RDS) is a self-service, cloud-based service allowing customers to quickly set up, provision, and maintain databases. Supported databases are MS SQL Server, MongoDB, and MySQL. For greater granularity, security, and FedRAMP compliance, MIS personnel work with the client in database deployment, maintenance, and security patching. This relieves the client from these tasks and allows them to focus on their business requirements.
Clients/Agencies are welcome to bring their license for any database product, and MIS works with the client to install and ensure FedRAMP security compliance for their product.
 
GCS Incident Response (GCS-IR)
GCS Incident Response (GCS-IR) is a self-service, cloud-based incident response service center that makes it easy for any agency to manage incidents. Once configured by the agency, GCS-IR manages your incidents, creates notifications, and provides all required logs and reports from beginning to end.
 
GCS eAlert
GCS-eAlert is a cloud-based high-speed and high-volume email and SMS sending service designed to send notifications and transactional messages. It is reliable and cost-effective for businesses of all sizes that use email and SMS to keep in contact with their customers. The service is easily managed through a user-friendly web interface.
You can use our SMTP interface or one of the GCS APIs to integrate eAlert directly into your existing applications. You can also integrate the email sending capabilities of GCS eAlert into the software you already use, such as ticketing systems and email clients.
​
Messaging as a Service Platform
GCS Messaging offers true SMS/MMS messaging for any application need. You can send SMS messages and MMS images using a web interface or API.
​
 
Bring Your Own Hardware (BYOH)
Often, a client's Infrastructure will require specialized equipment or appliances that the client can only furnish.
GovPoint Cloud Services permits customer-owned hardware and appliances within the customer's FedRAMP boundary. A private and logically isolated cloud environment is created when customer equipment or appliances are used. This isolated environment is assigned to the customer only and does not share any other FedRAMP tenants' resources.
​
Private FedRAMP Cloud
If your needs require isolation or dedicated resources, the Private FedRAMP Cloud will meet those needs. With the Private Cloud, you fully control all resources, including firewalls, networking, compute, and storage. Your Private Cloud is isolated from all other tenants and users and is part of the GovPoint FedRAMP Infrastructure.
 
Desktop Services
GCS Desktops is a fully managed, secure cloud desktop service. It can be used to provision Windows or Linux desktops in just a few minutes and quickly scale to provide thousands of desktops to workers across the globe. GCS Desktops builds on Citrix Desktops and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. With GCS Desktops, your users get a fast, responsive desktop that they can access anywhere, anytime, from any supported device.
