As part of the Army’s Area Processing Centers Army Private Cloud (APC2) initiative, HP and other companies will be providing the Army with “mobile data center” services, including so-called containerized data centers that come in shipping containers, the winners of the $ 249.8 million contract vehicle announced this week.

The Army awarded nine APC2 contracts to seven companies in early January, but several of those companies this week began to disclose more details about the work they’d be performing under the contracts. The awardees included IBM, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, MicroTech, Lockheed Martin, and Criterion Systems.
