挑战
军方一直在使用卫星、载人飞机和无人机 (UAV) 摄影来洞察战场。然而，挑战在于如何快速访问所收集的信息，在分析师、规划人员和决策者之间共享这些信息，并利用这些信息提供决定性的优势。随着传感器数量的增加和多频谱分析的进行，生成的数据量也大幅增长，需要新技术来检索、存储、移动和理解这些数据。NRL 的大数据联合能力技术演示 (Large Data JCTD) 项目旨在应对这一挑战。该项目需要处理海量数据文件和总数据集。即使在试验中，每个站点的数据也将达到近 1PB，并且需要超过 3GB/s 的输入和输出速率。在获取数据时，可能需要在每个大数据 JCTD 站点之间自动复制数据。以项目所需的数据速率，这对 WAN 传输和加密技术都提出了挑战。
关于客户
海军研究实验室 (NRL) 是美国海军和美国海军陆战队的企业研究实验室。它开展广泛的基础科学研究、应用研究、技术开发和原型设计。该实验室目前的一些专业包括等离子体物理学、空间物理学、材料科学和战术电子战。NRL 是美国政府最早的科学研发实验室之一，于 1923 年在托马斯·爱迪生的推动下成立，目前隶属于海军研究办公室。NRL 的研究支出约为每年 11 亿美元。
解决方案
DDN 解决了大数据 JCTD 的存储挑战。该公司的存储系统专为速度和可扩展性而构建，并已部署在世界领先的超级计算站点，这些站点的带宽和海量数据存储是常态。DDN 为每个大数据 JCTD 站点提供高性能存储系统设备，仅使用两个数据中心机架即可管理可扩展到近 1PB 的磁盘阵列，占用空间密集。DDN 高性能存储系统解决方案的独特之处在于它可以处理当今传感器的快速数据摄取率，同时随着传感器的改进而扩展以适应带宽和容量的未来增长。SGI 为大数据 JCTD 提供了一系列与 Infiniband 连接的 SGI 共享内存系统以及其 CXFS 高性能集群文件系统。SGI 计算节点提供所有图像处理、数据管理和自动索引功能。Infiniband 为计算、存储和通信网络提供单线解决方案。DataDirect Networks 和 SGI 合作将各自的系统与其他供应商提供的 WAN 加密和复制技术集成在一起。

Major Aerospace Company Automates Asset Management
The O&M division of an aerospace and global security company was using spreadsheets to manually track more than 3,000 assets assigned to students and staff. Maintaining audit trails for this high volume of equipment became increasingly time-consuming and challenging. The chore involved knowing precisely what equipment was on hand, what had been issued, its location and the name of the custodial owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried out by individuals with spreadsheets. Manually documenting the full lifecycle of each asset added to the burden. This included tracking maintenance requirements and records, incidents and damages, repairs, calibrations, depreciation, and end-of-life data.

Securing a Large Data Center in the EMEA Region: An IoT Case Study
A leading data-center operator in the EMEA region, with multiple facilities spanning over 25,000 square meters, faced significant security challenges. The operator experienced interruptions in their internal IT network due to unsupervised work of third-party technicians. Despite having a high-end building control system that provided 24x7 monitoring and control to all the building’s infrastructure, the data center was vulnerable from a cyber perspective as it was connected to the IT network infrastructure. The operator launched an urgent OT cyber security project that included both IT-OT network segmentation and OT network asset mapping and anomaly detection. The main objectives were to harden the security of the server systems, secure the facility’s power supply and server cooling system, strengthen the segmentation between building and operational systems, create a visual OT network map, and set up a system for presenting supply-chain attacks that may threaten the data center through equipment vendors’ maintenance activities.

Enhancing Security Precision with IoT: A Case Study of Guardsman Group
Guardsman Group, a leading security company in the Caribbean, faced a significant challenge in maintaining the security of its digital infrastructure. The company provides security equipment, personnel, and systems for various businesses across the region. However, one of its offices experienced a security incident that affected all communications at that location. The existing security tools were not sufficient to provide the necessary protection, and it took hours to identify the source of the issue. This incident highlighted the need for a dynamic solution that could proactively identify threats. The company's primary concern was any disruption to its business, as it manages a significant portion of Jamaica's money and cannot afford for its operations to go down.

Enhancing City Security through IoT: A Case Study of Atlanta
The city of Atlanta, with a resident population of over 420,000 and a metropolitan area of more than five million people, faced the challenge of ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and visitors. As a leading tourist destination and a multicultural city attracting global investment, Atlanta had to deal with the complexities of managing safety and security incidents. Over the years, the city had invested in various surveillance systems, providing visual intelligence to law enforcement and security professionals. However, these systems operated independently and were spread across a wide geography. The city aimed to increase collaboration among government agencies and create a shared Video Integration Center (VIC). The challenge was the disparate nature of the video systems, which were based on proprietary technologies and were both analog and IP based. The city also wanted to leverage the numerous private cameras located across the city, further complicating the integration of all these systems into one common platform.
