High-Performance Storage Solutions for Critical Military and Government Applications

United States Armed Services

The success of the United States Armed Services is built on superior technology and highly trained personnel. Both of these components rely on the rapid access of information for supporting critical decisions in the field and operations at home. They also rely on the most advanced IT systems to collect and analyze data related to terrorism and other threats in order to allocate resources efficiently and respond appropriately. This information helps support better decisions – and save lives.

Each day, organizations such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) receive massive amounts of data from the three branches of the military. These data – including satellite, radar, and other real-time data – must be stored and processed immediately in order to support time-sensitive decisions. If the storage system is unable to process high I/O requests, access to vital data is delayed – and the ability to respond to potential threats may be compromised.

XcelaSAN from Dataram enables defense agencies to realize the full potential of their storage infrastructure.  XcelaSAN is the industry's first intelligent, block-level Fibre Channel storage optimization appliance that provides high-speed access to frequently accessed data via dynamic caching and resource allocation for maximum application performance.

Defense Challenges:

  • A high number of data-intensive transactions during peak periods causes slow database performance
  • Costly delays in responding to threats can result in loss of life

The XcelaSAN Storage Optimization Solution:

  • Improves the data collection process and overall operational efficiency
  • Enables real-time processing of data to support critical decisionmaking
     

State and Federal Agencies

Today, state and federal agencies face both significant budgetary challenges and the growing demands of their employees and taxpayers. Government agencies must maximize IT resources and optimize performance – while maintaining real-time availability of exponentially growing amounts of data.

For example, for public safety personnel such as police, firefighters and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, having the right data at the right time can mean the difference between life and death. Faster, better data collection tools such as smartphones, video cameras and wireless networks are generating more data and resources for public safety agencies – and they require new storage systems that can handle higher transactions per second to enable more efficient deployments.

Government agencies are also increasingly migrating toward online processing of forms. For example, the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board receives and processes more than eight million documents online each year.
