Coming Soon: Defense’s New 100 Gigabit Supercomputer Network

CenturyLink has started work on a contract with a maximum value of $750 million to stitch together Defense Department supercomputer centers with a 100-gigabits-per-second network. CenturyLink won the Defense Information Systems Agency contract on June 8, 2012, but the award was delayed by a protest from Verizon Business, which had held the high speed network contract since 2002.
