# Everpure Highlights DoD Data Integration Needs

Everpure’s Dan Kent, Vice President and Field CTO, Federal, described how classification boundaries and disconnected systems fragment Department of Defense data and impede real-time decision-making. His comments point to potential demand for software-defined storage and enterprise data-cloud capabilities that connect edge, cloud, and on-premises environments and support AI and analytics. No solicitation, contract value, funding, or procurement timeline was identified.

- For procurement teams, the issue signals a potential modernization need spanning data storage, integration, and access across classified and distributed environments.
- Contractors offering software-defined storage or enterprise data-cloud capabilities can assess how their solutions support connected edge, cloud, and on-premises operations as well as AI and analytics use cases.
- No active procurement or deadline is specified, so the signal indicates a market need rather than a current bid opportunity.
