HYPERSCALE & THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE FOR THE MOST DEMANDING ISR SYSTEMS

Battlefield intelligence is mission critical to any operation. The demonstrable impact of IP surveillance on operations has driven exponential growth in ISR systems images and video from a variety of sources: from satellites, to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), to increasingly higher-definition sensors installed on surveillance aircraft. This rapid growth in unstructured data, and the requirements to analyze it, create enormous challenges.

DDN is the recognized leader in “BIG DATA” storage and management, delivering the world’s most scalable and highest performing solutions that enable agencies to capture and convert data into actionable intelligence.

OVERVIEW

  • Concurrently handle thousands of FMV surveillance streams, at any resolution
  • Uninterrupted data capture and performance during system correction
  • Supports clustered supercomputers with 10,000s-100,000s of CPUs
  • Self-Healing & autonomous cloud storage at massive scale

The ability to collect and analyze various signals and communications has become a critical element in law enforcement’s ability to respond to threats, maintain security levels and protect the population.

This new generation of communications monitoring and intercept technology provides enormous amounts of raw data, requiring complex analytics algorithms to extract actionable intelligence. To truly capitalize on this exponential growth in data intelligence, organizations require a high performance system that specializes in unstructured data, provides unmatched speed, limitless scalability while ensuring data integrity.

SIMPLE TO MANAGE & SCALE

  • Highest performance in the industry, up to 48GB/s (single system), means faster, actionable intelligence
  • Start small and scale limitlessly on demand to multi-PB environments
  • Guaranteed Quality of Service ensures full-speed performance even during drive rebuilds & enclosure failures
  • Fibre Channel performance & reliability, but with the simplicity of NAS
  • DirectProtect™ automatically detects and corrects data corruption in flight
  • Reduce Total Cost of Ownership through high density, low power system

HYPERSCALE & THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE FOR THE MOST DEMANDING ISR REQUIREMENTS

With WOS®, intelligence agencies and defense organizations can cost effectively store multiple petabytes of satellite imagery, remote sensing data, telecommunications, web traffic and video surveillance – all while geographically distributed analysts access and exploit that data from anywhere in the world.

To further enhance WOS applicability in Intelligence, Law Enforcement, and Defense, DDN has teamed with Pixia®, a leading software development company specializing in Geospatial Imagery, Wide Area Surveillance, and Full Motion Video rapid data access that serves the U.S. Defense and Homeland Security Departments, as well as the Intelligence Community. The exponential growth in data collected by space, airborne and ground-based platforms, compounded with the inability to access this data, has led to the catch phrase, “Drowning in data, but starving for knowledge.” Pixia’s technology, built on WOS, promises to play a crucial role in addressing this challenge.

SIMPLE TO MANAGE & SCALE

  • Cost effectively store multiple petabytes of satellite imagery, remote sensing data, telecommunications, web traffic and video surveillance
  • Analysts can access and exploit that data from anywhere in the world
  • Easy to manage with high resiliency
  • Breakthrough Cloud Storage Infrastructure Economics
