Defense Information Systems Agency Awards Contract to Northrop Grumman and EyeIT for SIMtone’s Cloud Computing Technology

Durham, NC (April 30, 2009)SIMtone Corporation, a privately held company delivering Universal Computing, today announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has awarded a contract to Northrop Grumman Information Technology, Inc. and EyeIT,  Inc. for the SIMtone cloud computing platform. 

SIMtone’s Universal Computing platform is a stateless and massively scalable intelligent network computing solution that allows users to securely access data and applications residing in any cloud from a broad array of endpoint devices. Through its patented technology, by placing intelligence in the network, SIMtone allows firewalls to be closed to inbound traffic so that data and applications remain secure in corporate data centers yet are globally accessible via any device on any broadband connection.

“Government and enterprise organizations want less cost and complexity with greater security and accessibility. That’s what SIMtone delivers,” explained Chris Mellon, VP for Sales at SIMtone Corporation. “By putting intelligence in the network, SIMtone offers a radical new approach to universal computing. With our platform, organizations can even eliminate PCs. We deliver computing without computers over open networks which is unprecedented.”

SIMtone is working with Northrop Grumman and EyeIT to support DISA with its cloud computing initiatives.
