  Application Hosting

Description:
Application Hosting will enhance current Department-wide application hosting capabilities to establish a tiered service model. Cross-Mission Area efforts and Department-wide efforts will be able to use this model to sign service level agreements (SLAs) to obtain various levels of service to host their eGovernment applications. Although current hosting capabilities exist, enhanced capabilities will accomodate the deployment not only of more applications, but additionally the higher-quality, more interactive applications required for eGovernment initiatives such as eLoans and eGrants.
