Webinar: Building the Net-Centric Real-Time Global Information Grid

Date: Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Time: 11:00 a.m. PDT
Duration: 1 hour

Presented by Dr. Rajive Joshi, Senior Field Applications Engineer

Building the Real-Time Global Information Grid (GIG) requires developing and also integrating various systems seamlessly. Traditional Enterprise applications must be integrated with real-time/embedded/tactical components. And then also must interoperate with existing legacy systems. The result is more data, from more sources, moving at faster rates, to more destinations, via diverse systems. The benefits are more efficient movement of data, faster data analysis and more reliable decisions.

In such a demanding environment, how can we deliver seamless end-to-end integration and also optimized end-to-end performance? In particular, how do we strike the right balance of

  • performance, so that the GIG can efficiently leverage the underlying infrastructure;
  • scalability, so that the GIG will keep up with the future demand;
  • availability, so that there is no downtime;
  • security, so that GIG systems are protected
  • interoperability, so that components can be seamlessly integrated;
  • affordability, so that the operational or administrative costs and system lifecycle costs are minimized.

In this session, we present a solution to address these challenges based upon

  • adopting a data-oriented architecture, which shifts the focus to integrating data instead of applications;
  • reliance on an integrated high performance end-to-end platform that provides standards based components for messaging & data distribution, storage & data management, complex event processing, visualization, fault tolerance, recording & playback, security, and technology adapters;
  • shifting the focus back to the application architecture.

By leveraging COTS and Standards based infrastructure, applications can leverage readily available services and focus on their main purpose.
