Onix Expands Cloud Computing Offering to Federal Government

LAKEWOOD, Ohio, Feb. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Google's Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) have been designated to be FedRAMP Compliant.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Services with this designation are approved for use by all Federal Government agencies.

Google Services, which holds the FedRAMP designation, is comprised of Google's multi-tenant public and hybrid Google Apps cloud instances and multi-tenant public cloud Google App Engine. These services are built on top of the Google Common Infrastructure. Google Apps is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud deployment model that allows customers the ability to communicate, store files and collaborate with Gmail, Hangouts, Talk, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Vault, Sites, Groups, Contacts and Classroom while managing their domain with the Admin Console. Google App Engine is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud deployment model, providing customers an environment in which to easily build, run and manage their applications on Google's infrastructure.

"Now that Google has completed the federal government's process to achieve FedRAMP designation, we look forward to expanding relationships with our current federal, state and local government customers as well as establishing relationships with agencies we're not currently engaged with," said Dal Vandervort, Vice President of Sales - Public Sector for Onix. "Google Search and Google Maps have proved to be very successful solutions for our federal customers, and we are confident that Google Apps and Google App Engine will be as well."
