ViON Corporation has been awarded a contract with the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide IT infrastructure supporting the SBA’s small business loan systems, ViON announced on Thursday.
“The SBA serves a critical mission for more than 40 million businesses nationwide. As the country shifts dramatically due to the pandemic, we are enabling the SBA to quickly improve their capacity to process loans for the United States business community,” said Tom Frana, chairman and CEO of ViON as well as a two-time Wash100 Award recipient.
ViON will provide its IT infrastructure to update the systems responsible for guaranteeing hundreds of billions in loans to U.S. small businesses to aid those affected by COVID-19. The company’s efforts will enable the SBA to upgrade the technology supporting their loan systems, including adding capacity to and modernizing some of their existing Oracle SPARC technology.
ViON has already deployed SPARC M12-2 servers to help SBA meet critical capacity needs. The company will continue to help SBA improve their capacity and capability to process loans as SBA continues to process its loan workload.
“It is truly a partnership between public and private sector to respond with urgency and accomplish this important mission. As a result, we are modernizing their data center with high-performance servers in a matter of hours – not days, weeks or months,” Frana concluded.
