Overview
- NATO’s Communication and Information Agency signed a multi-million, multi-year deal to deploy Google Distributed Cloud in an air-gapped setup for the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre.
- The platform will handle classified workloads and run AI and analytics in a fully disconnected environment with strict data residency and operational control.
- Integration is scheduled to begin in the coming months, and the parties have not disclosed the contract’s exact value.
- The arrangement is part of a broader sovereign-cloud effort that also includes AWS, Oracle projects on cloud migration and secure 5G research, and Microsoft collaborations on compliance validation.
- The award follows Google’s reported £400 million UK MoD GDC contract and supports JATEC’s NATO‑Ukraine mission based in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
