We have written many times on the seemingly nonstop growth of the cloud for data, computing, storage, streaming and more, and from the looks of things that growth isn't slowing any time soon. In fact, the government, specifically the U.S. Department of Defense, is gearing up for a huge cloud project of its own, and the 10-year contract could run as much as $10 billion.
A new Deutsche Bank research report notes that the Defense Department project, which is named JEDI, is not only a huge build-out for the government, but it could lead to other agencies pursuing cloud infrastructure.
The report said this:
This award could act as a major cloud demand trigger for other US federal government agencies and establish the winner as a dominant player in this vertical. While the media has suggested that a final JEDI contract award could come in September 2018, this seems aggressive (the issuance of the final request for proposal was just delayed) and we would not be surprised if a decision was pushed into early first half of 2019.

Top Bank Stocks To Buy For 2019: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Daniel Miller, Jordan Wathen, and Jeremy Bowman]
Everybody likes to boast about finding a great deal, and that can be especially true for investors who find a diamond-in-the-rough value stock. But not all value stocks are created equal, and many times, stocks are cheap for a reason. But for various and intriguing reasons, three Motley Fool contributors think Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), General Motors (NYSE:GM), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) are worth a second look in February.

Third-quarter earnings season is upon us and the big banks will be among the first major companies to report their latest results. With that in mind, here's why three of Motley Fool contributors think that Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) are worth a look before the numbers hit the newswire.
- [By Matthew Frankel]
After a turbulent couple of years for the bank, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) finally gave its investors a pleasant surprise. Not only was its 2018 capital plan approved by the Federal Reserve, but it included a huge increase in the bank's buyback authorization. As a result, the stock is up sharply -- as of 10:30 a.m. EDT Friday, shares are up by nearly 5%.
- [By Richard Robinson]
It must be said, however, that some banks will not enjoy these tailwinds. There are some that can't seem to get out of their own way in doing business. One such bank is Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC).
