FALLS CHURCH, Va., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today an alliance with Terremark Worldwide (Nasdaq: TMRK), a leading global provider of information technology (IT) infrastructure services, to offer trusted cloud computing services to the U.S. government.

Together, CSC and Terremark will offer cloud services that include computing, storage and disaster recovery/continuity of operations that are delivered from a highly secure and reliable environment, located at Terremark's datacenter in Culpeper, Va.

The alliance combines Terremark's trusted cloud computing environment with CSC services that include program management; IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) integration; service design, integration and transition; security integration and certification; training and service improvement.

"Terremark and CSC look forward to delivering a portfolio of cloud computing resources that will allow our government customers to implement IT services for mission-critical applications in minutes, not days," said Jamie Dos Santos, president and chief executive officer of Terremark Federal Group.
