You can basically have resources carved out for your use for a nominal fee. But as with most thing DISA, it remains in the early stages of development, is unstable, has low quality performance and it being funded by the very users who use it - ergo, the DECC is not a proven performer yet. Methinks Amazon should have made a bid for such a service because their cloud computing offering is exceptional. Imagine if DoD had something similar to what Amazon has done - commands would jump on it. But alas, as the cliche goes - you cant spell disaster without DISA. The DECC will take years before it's a viable alternative for local computing. DISA already has a so-called "cloud computing" environment called the DECC – Defense Enterprise Computing Centers.
