MongoDB Atlas for Government is a dedicated environment for government needs that will allow agencies to build and iterate faster. This new offering provides the simplest way to deploy, operate, and scale MongoDB for modern applications, all in a FedRAMP Ready environment that helps customers meet the most demanding data security and privacy standards.
“Agencies, developers, and the ISVs that serve them need to build modern applications that can quickly adapt to rapidly changing mission needs without worrying about scale and security. Too often government administrators are bogged down, wasting time and resources with second rate technologies, sacrificing innovation in an attempt to meet rigorous security standards,” said Brent Leech, Vice President, Public Sector of MongoDB. “MongoDB Atlas for Government provides the versatility needed to modernize legacy applications and support the unique requirements and missions of the government – in a secure, fully-managed, FedRAMP Ready, environment.”
