Ikhontrakthi ye-10 yeebhiliyoni: ngubani oza kujongana nelifu lePentagon

Siyayiqonda imeko kwaye sinikezela ngezimvo zoluntu malunga nesivumelwano esinokubakho.

Imbali yokukhutshwa

Kwi-2018, i-Pentagon yaqala ukusebenza kwi-Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Programme (JEDI). Ibandakanya ukuhanjiswa kwayo yonke idatha yentlangano kwilifu elinye. Oku kusebenza nakwiinkcukacha ezihleliweyo malunga neenkqubo zezixhobo, kunye nedatha malunga nabasebenzi basemkhosini kunye nemisebenzi yokulwa. I-10 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi yabelwe ukuphumeza lo msebenzi.

Ithenda yelifu iye yaba yindawo yokulwa yenkampani. Ukuthatha inxaxheba bajoyine ubuncinane iinkampani ezilithoba. Nazi nje ezimbalwa: Amazon, Google, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, SAP kunye VMware.

Kulo nyaka uphelileyo, uninzi lwabo luye lwasuswa ngenxa yokuba akwanelisi iimfuno ezimiselwe yiPentagon. Abanye babengenalo imvume yokusebenza ngolwazi olucazululiweyo, kwaye abanye babo bagxile kwiinkonzo ezikhethekileyo. Umzekelo, i-Oracle yeyovimba beenkcukacha, kwaye iVMware yeyokubona.

UGoogle kunyaka ophelileyo ngokwakho wala ukuthatha inxaxheba. Iprojekthi yabo inokungqubana nomgaqo-nkqubo wenkampani malunga nokusetyenziswa kweenkqubo zobuntlola ezenziweyo kwicandelo lomkhosi. Nangona kunjalo, iqumrhu liceba ukuqhubeka nokusebenza nabasemagunyeni kwezinye iindawo.

Babini kuphela abathathi-nxaxheba abaseleyo kugqatso – iMicrosoft kunye neAmazon. IPentagon kufuneka yenze ukhetho lwayo kude kube sekupheleni kwehlobo.

Ingxoxo yamaqela

Isivumelwano sebhiliyoni zeerandi sibangele uqhushululu. Esona sikhalazo siphambili ngeprojekthi yeJEDI sesokuba iinkcukacha ezisuka kwisebe lezomkhosi eliphakathi elizweni ziya kugxininiswa kunokontraka omnye. Inani lamalungu eCongress anyanzelisa ukuba amanani anjalo edatha kufuneka anikezelwe ziinkampani ezininzi ngexesha elinye, kwaye oku kuya kuqinisekisa ukhuseleko olukhulu.

Imbono efanayo yabelana kunye ne-IBM kunye ne-Oracle. Ngo-Okthobha ophelileyo, uSam Gordy, umphathi we-IBM, iqatshelweukuba indlela ye-monocloud ichasene neendlela zoshishino lwe-IT, ukuya kwi-hybrid kunye ne-multicloud.

Kodwa uJohn Gibson, igosa elilawulayo kwiSebe lezoKhuselo laseMelika, uqaphele ukuba ezo ziseko zophuhliso ziyayixabisa kakhulu iPentagon. Kwaye iprojekthi yeJEDI yacingelwa ngokuchanekileyo ukuba ibeke phakathi idatha yeeprojekthi zefu ezingamakhulu amahlanu (iphepha 7). Kule mihla, ngenxa yomahluko kumgangatho wokugcinwa, isantya sokufikelela kwidatha siyahlupheka. Ilifu elinye liya kuphelisa le ngxaki.

Uluntu nalo lunemibuzo malunga nekhontrakthi ngokwayo. Ngokomzekelo, i-Oracle, ikholelwa ukuba ekuqaleni yayihlanganiswe ngeliso elijonge uloyiso lweAmazon. Umbono ofanayo wabelana nge-congressmen yase-US. Kwiveki ephelileyo, uSenator uMarco Rubio ithunyelwe ileta eya kumcebisi welizwe kwezokhuseleko, uJohn Bolton, emcela ukuba akuhlehlise ukusayinwa kwesivumelwano. Uye waphawula ukuba inkqubo yokukhetha umboneleli welifu “yayinganyanisekanga.”

UOracle wada wafaka isikhalazo kwiOfisi Yokuphendula KukaRhulumente wase-US. Kodwa oku akuzange kuzise ziphumo. Kamva, abameli benkampani baya enkundleni, apho bathi izigqibo ezenziwa yifem karhulumente zaphazanyiswa kukungqubana kwemidla. Ngu ngokwe Abameli be-Oracle, abasebenzi ababini bePentagon banikwa imisebenzi kwi-AWS ngexesha lenkqubo yethenda. Kodwa kwiveki ephelileyo ijaji ilichithile ibango.

Abahlalutyi bathi isizathu sokuziphatha ngu-Oracle yiyo ilahleko yemali enokwenzeka. Uninzi lwezivumelwano zenkampani kunye neSebe lezoKhuselo laseMelika zazisemngciphekweni. Kukho nawuphi na, abameli bePentagon khanyela ukuphulwa, kwaye bathi akukho mbuzo wokuhlaziya iziphumo zokhetho lwangoku.

Isiphumo esinokwenzeka

Iingcali ziqaphela ukuba iAmazon inokwenzeka kakhulu ukuba ibe ngumthengisi welifu okhethwe yiPentagon. Ubuncinci ngenxa yenkampani ithunyelwe ukukhuthaza umdla wabo kwicandelo likarhulumente kangangoko $13 million - kwaye oku kuphela 2017. Le mali ethelekisa naleyo, ezichithwe yiMicrosoft kunye ne-IBM ngokudibeneyo.

Kodwa kukho uluvo lokuba yonke into ayilahlekanga kwiMicrosoft. Kunyaka ophelileyo inkampani waqukumbela isivumelwano sokunikezela ngenkonzo kubume belifu loLuntu lwezobuNtlola lwase-US. Ibandakanya i-arhente yelizwe elinesiqingatha, kuquka i-CIA kunye ne-NSA.

Kwakhona ngoJanuwari walo nyaka, IT Corporation utyikitye isivumelwano esitsha seminyaka emihlanu kunye neSebe lezoKhuselo laseMelika kwisixa-mali se-1,76 yeebhiliyoni zeedola. Kukho uluvo lokuba izivumelwano ezitsha zinokuthi thaca isikali ngokuthanda iMicrosoft.
