DISA Gives Carpathia Impact Level 2 Provisional Approval for Cloud Data Hosting

Carpathia has received a provisional authorization from the Defense Information Systems Agency to host the Defense Department‘s data workloads at Impact Level 2 via a cloud service.

The company said Tuesday the Pentagon assigns IL2 for information approved for public release, non-controlled unclassified data and some private unclassified data not considered critical mission information.

Data under IL2 require minimum access control level, according to Carpathia.

The QTS-owned company will host the agency’s mission data through VMware’s vCloud Government Service, a hybrid cloud platform that is compliant with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program.
