Mission Innovation, Powered by AWS: How ORVIWO Helps Federal and Puerto Rico Missions Move to the Cloud

ORVIWO × AWS — secure cloud and AI infrastructure for mission-critical defense and federal operations, from Puerto Rico to the wider region.

Mission Innovation, Powered by AWS

When people hear “cloud,” they often think about generic storage or virtual machines.

For the U.S. Federal Government, DoD, and public sector, cloud is something different:

it’s a way to modernize, secure, and scale missions without waiting years for new hardware.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has built a cloud platform specifically designed to support the unique requirements of federal agencies—the same platform that powers some of the most demanding workloads on earth.

At ORVIWO LLC, based in Puerto Rico, we focus on how to connect that AWS foundation with mission-critical IT, AI, and secure connectivity for agencies and partners operating across Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the broader U.S. Federal ecosystem.

Why AWS Matters for Federal and Mission-Critical Work

AWS is not just “a cloud provider.” For federal workloads, it brings a few key advantages:

• Pay-as-you-go instead of heavy capital expenses

  Agencies can start small, scale up as missions grow, and avoid overbuying hardware that sits idle.

• Access to constantly updated technology

  New services, faster compute, AI/ML tools, and advanced analytics are delivered as managed services—no need to manage every underlying component.

• Support for multiple sensitivity and classification levels

  AWS provides cloud capability for workloads ranging from Unclassified to more sensitive environments, supported through specialized regions such as AWS GovCloud (US) and other dedicated offerings.

• Alignment with federal security and compliance frameworks

  AWS services are built to support compliance programs such as FedRAMP, CJIS, HIPAA, FERPA, and more. This gives agencies a foundation that’s already designed with governance, auditing, and security in mind.

In simple terms: cloud stops being “nice to have” and becomes a mission platform.

AWS by Sector: DoD, Civilian, Intelligence, and Federal Financials

AWS has organized its federal and public sector offerings around the realities of government missions:

• U.S. Department of Defense

• Support for tactical, enterprise, training, and research workloads that must meet strict security, resiliency, and availability requirements.

• Federal Civilian

• Agencies looking to modernize legacy systems, digitize services, and improve citizen experience—everything from portals and forms to analytics and fraud detection.

• U.S. Intelligence Community

• Specialized environments and services that support intelligence workloads, emphasizing security, compartmentalization, and rapid access to compute and storage.

• Federal Financials

• Cloud capabilities for financial regulators and institutions exploring digital currencies, blockchain, advanced audit analytics, and real-time reporting.

For ORVIWO, this is the ecosystem where we plug in:

we design and integrate solutions that align with what AWS already provides at the platform level.

What This Means for Puerto Rico and the Caribbean

Puerto Rico has a unique role in the federal ecosystem:

• It hosts critical infrastructure, federal facilities, and key public services.

• It faces hurricanes, earthquakes, and grid challenges that demand resilient IT and communications.

• It is a strategic location for defense, maritime, and logistics operations in the Caribbean.

By combining AWS cloud with ORVIWO’s focus on tactical connectivity, secure video, and AI, we can support:

• Disaster response & continuity of operations (COOP)Hosting critical systems and backups in AWS regions designed for resilience, while field teams connect via 5G, satellite, or rugged routers.

• Modernization of local and federal facilities in Puerto Rico

• Migrating applications, dashboards, and analytics platforms to AWS so agencies and partners get better performance, observability, and security.

• Edge-to-cloud architectures

• Collecting data from sensors, cameras, and gateways deployed in Puerto Rico, processing locally when needed, and sending aggregated intelligence to AWS.

Our message is simple:

missions in Puerto Rico deserve the same cloud capabilities as any major CONUS facility—and ORVIWO helps build that bridge.

Security and Compliance: Building on AWS, Adding ORVIWO’s Expertise

AWS invests heavily in security—identity, encryption, logging, monitoring, and compliance documentation. But the shared responsibility model means agencies and partners still need strong architecture and configuration discipline.

This is where ORVIWO fits:

• Architecture aligned to NIST Cybersecurity Framework

  We design solutions that map to Identify–Protect–Detect–Respond–Recover using native AWS services (for example: IAM, logging, encryption, monitoring, and response automation).

• Network and connectivity design

  Integrating secure connectivity between on-prem, tactical vehicles, edge sites, and AWS using technologies like VPNs, SD-WAN, 5G routers (e.g., Semtech AirLink), and satellite links.

• Zero-trust minded designs

  Combine AWS native security controls with perimeter and host-level protections, including NGFWs and segmentation, to protect critical workloads.

• Observability and operations

  Make use of AWS logging and monitoring plus third-party tools to give operations teams full visibility into mission workloads.

The goal is not just “being in the cloud,” but being secure, observable, and ready for real missions.

Workforce Development: Training the People Behind the Missions

Cloud transformation is not only a technology change—it’s a skills transformation.

AWS offers Skill Builder learning paths tailored for:

• Generative AI

• Quantum computing (Amazon Braket)

• AI/ML fundamentals and engineering on AWS

• Cloud + NIST Cybersecurity Framework

• Technical and non-technical federal users

ORVIWO’s role is to help agencies and partners in Puerto Rico and the region:

• Identify which learning paths align with their mission needs.

• Design pilot projects and proof-of-concepts where teams can apply what they learn.

• Connect training to real operational scenarios—from emergency communications to smart infrastructure and AI-driven security.

When cloud skills grow, mission creativity grows with them.

How ORVIWO + AWS Support Your Mission

Here are a few examples of solution patterns we can support:

• Mission-ready command and control

• Systems for monitoring cameras, IoT sensors, and communications nodes at the edge, backed by data storage, AI, and analytics in AWS.

• Hybrid architectures for regulated workloads

• Sensitive data processed locally or in regulated environments, with derived analytics or dashboards in the cloud.

• AI and data pipelines

• Ingesting logs, metrics, video metadata, and sensor data into AWS for correlation, anomaly detection, and decision support.

• Resilient infrastructure for critical services

• Using AWS as a backbone for backup systems, continuity of operations, and rapid recovery after outages in Puerto Rico or elsewhere.

Each use case is different—but the pattern is the same:

edge devices, secure networks, and AWS cloud working as one mission platform.
