Federal IT modernization: VDI, cloud migration, and security compliance
D2 Consulting delivers IT infrastructure and security services to federal agencies, with active engineering focused on migrating legacy desktop and data-center workloads to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS). The stack reveals a deliberate shift from Citrix and VMware Horizon toward Azure Virtual Desktop and Intune, paired with ServiceNow-centric operations tooling and a growing cloud-native posture. Hiring momentum—25 roles posted in the last 30 days across engineering, ops, and security—tracks against three concurrent modernization initiatives: OpenShift deployments, VDI migration, and SCCM-to-Intune transitions.
D2 Consulting is a federal government IT services firm based in Arlington, VA, founded in 2016. The company operates three core practice areas: IT operations and infrastructure (VDI, enterprise management, ITSM), cybersecurity and compliance (accreditation, risk management, cloud security controls), and cloud migration plus data center consolidation. The technology footprint spans on-premises infrastructure (Windows, Linux, Cisco, NetApp, Dell EMC) and increasingly cloud platforms (Azure, AWS), with ServiceNow anchoring IT service management. Active projects center on modernizing legacy VDI to Azure Virtual Desktop, migrating SCCM to Intune, deploying OpenShift, and ensuring classified data handling and CMDB integrity across large-scale federal environments.
