Overview
Naval Station Great Lakes, often called "The Quarterdeck of the Navy," is the U.S. Navy's largest training installation and the home of Recruit Training Command (RTC) the only boot camp in the Navy. Located on the western shore of Lake Michigan in North Chicago, Illinois, the installation processes tens of thousands of recruits each year and also hosts Training Support Center Great Lakes and a wide range of "A" School technical training programs. With a dense population of recruits, students, staff, and tenant commands across barracks, classrooms, simulators, and administrative buildings, the base depends on reliable, secure, high-density IT and network infrastructure every single day.
The IT mission at an installation like Great Lakes spans recruit in-processing systems, classroom and simulator networks, dormitory and barracks Wi-Fi, administrative data centers, and the secure connectivity that ties tenant commands back to Navy enterprise services. High-density wireless coverage, resilient campus switching, and modern compute and storage are foundational to training throughput. Contracting officers must balance aggressive refresh cycles, tight delivery windows, and strict supply-chain compliance requirements while staying inside approved federal contract vehicles.
Uniqcli focuses exclusively on serving U.S. public sector and defense customers. We pair authorized HPE, Aruba, and Juniper product lines with TAA-compliant sourcing, transparent quoting, and hands-on deployment and support so that procurement teams at Naval Station Great Lakes can modernize infrastructure predictably without supply-chain or compliance surprises.
IT & infrastructure priorities
High-Density Wireless & Campus Networking
Recruit barracks, classrooms, and technical schoolhouses demand dense, reliable Wi-Fi and resilient campus switching. Aruba access points and switching deliver secure, high-throughput coverage built for crowded training environments.
Secure Networking & Zero Trust
Navy networks require strong segmentation, identity-based access, and policy enforcement. Aruba and Juniper solutions support Zero Trust and Comply-to-Connect approaches that protect training and administrative traffic.
Data Center Modernization
Administrative and training systems run on aging compute and storage. HPE ProLiant servers and Alletra storage modernize the base data center footprint with efficiency, performance, and easier lifecycle management.
Edge & Simulator Compute
Technical schools and simulators rely on responsive local compute. HPE edge and rack systems support training applications, labs, and classroom workloads close to where they run.
Storage, Backup & Resilience
Recruit records, training data, and administrative systems need dependable backup and recovery. HPE storage and data-protection solutions keep critical training operations running.
