Placing Data Center Storage Technology at the Tactical Edge

The advancement of sensor technology such as radar, image capture and radio frequency devices has resulted in a massive increase in the amount of data collected by defense customers. This information, known as big data, has proved to be difficult to store, access or analyze in real time. Solving this storage issue is vital to ensure that the critical decision-makers of today and tomorrow can take well-informed actions and avoid limiting the capabilities of current, emerging and future sensor technology. This paper explores the data storage challenges that must be overcome and presents new technology from Mercury Systems and VAST Data Federal as a compelling solution.
