IBM has officially griped to a top US government watchdog about JEDI – the Pentagon's proposed 10-year $10bn single-vendor IT system for America’s Green Machine.

Whichever lucky lone supplier wins the coveted Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract will be responsible for providing all cloud activities for the military over the next decade, and will be worth billions of dollars in setup and running fees. However, IBM – like Oracle – takes issue with the idea that this should all be run by a single company.
