EMC Corporation has won a $4.3 million contract for business continuity software from the Pentagon Renovation Office (PENREN), a large-scale initiative to modernise the Department of Defense's IT infrastructure. PENREN supports multiple agencies within the Pentagon, including the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army, Navy, Air Force and the Marine Corps.
