Microsoft GCC High licensing Government Cloud
Nimbus Logic is proud to be authorized by Microsoft as an AOS-G partner to provide both Azure Government, and GCC High pricing, licensing, migrations and managed support to Federal, State, and Local Governments as well as DoD Contractors and supporting agencies.
Nimbus Logic is ideally suited to help the defense industry meet the new requirements of the Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification.
Microsoft Government Cloud Environments
Government Community Cloud (GCC)
Government Community Cloud (GCC) for local, civilian, and federal government agencies. It has many of the same features as the commercial environment, but features data centers ONLY in the continental United States (CONUS), as mandated by FedRAMP Moderate.
It is important to note that GCC is insufficient for ITAR & EAR because it is global and not limited to U.S. Citizens.
Microsoft GCC High
GCC High for highly classified government users and those doing business with them. GCC High was created to meet the needs of DoD and Federal contractors that needed to meet the stringent cybersecurity and compliance requirements of NIST 800-171, FedRAMP High, and ITAR, or who need to manage CUI/CDI.
Understanding AOS-G Licensing
The only way to purchase GCC High licenses for 500 users or less is from an AOS-G Partner such as Nimbus Logic.
These licenses are a modified enterprise agreement and can be purchased in 12-, 24- or 36-month terms and paid annually.
Since these licenses are meant to help enforce NIST 800-171 and CMMC security, only Microsoft Enterprise base plans and add-ons are available. Licensing is typically up to 70% more expensive than commercial licenses.
Generally, these licenses cannot be returned after purchasing so be sure to consult with a licensing and compliance expert at Nimbus Logic to help you maximize your investment and meet your compliance.
