Tech-giant Oracle has filed a pre-award protest with the US Court of Federal Claims protesting the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), the $10bn military cloud for the Pentagon. The JEDI is designed to provide an integrated platform that will allow the Pentagon and its partners to share information about threats in real time, as well as track enemy movements across multiple platforms. The protest is a follow-up to the unsuccessful complaint Oracle filed with the Government Accountability Office in August. IBM has also filed a pre-award protest against JEDI on similar grounds. Amazon and Microsoft are bidding for the JEDI contract.
