"As DISA continues to transform the way it offers network services, incorporating fast-changing and evolving IT capabilities into a single global network is critically important," said Carl D'Alessandro, president, Harris Critical Networks.

DISA already counts on Harris to provide bandwidth services at hundreds of locations along the East Coast of the United States."
