Oracle Corp filed a protest with the US Department of Defense over its plans to award a Cloud computing contract that could be worth up to US$10bil (RM40bil) to a single company instead of allowing for multiple winners. 

The Defense Department opened the competition in July and said a single winner would allow for the most rapid adoption of the technology. It said the deal's initial two-year period would provide time to ensure the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud contract was up to standards, and that new contractors would be needed for other Cloud computing demands in the future.
