Cloud Migration

Washington Headquarter Services Acquisition Directorate is seeking information on possible vendors that can provide Comprehensive Migration to a Hybrid Microsoft Environment at theGeorge C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies. The George C. Marshall Center currently operates within a primarily on-premise Microsoft environment, encompassing services like Active Directory, Exchange, Windows 11, and Windows Server.

This setup, under the domain marshallcenter.org, strictly adheres to US Department of Defense (DoD) security standards and is Impact Level 4 (IL4) compliant. The center's IT infrastructure also includes an IL2 compliant Microsoft 365 (M365) tenant with 300 E3 licenses for staff and 250 E1 licenses for students.

As a recognized DoD educational institution, the Center has recently been awarded a .edu domain and is in the process of upgrading to 400 M365 A5 licenses, significantly enhancing features for staff and providing extensive access for students. Despite these advancements, the current utilization of the M365 cloud services remains limited, primarily to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for course management.
