ADIC StorNext Management Suite tapped for key role in intelligence information program.Advanced Digital Information Corporation (Nasdaq:ADIC) announced recently that its StorNext Management Suite has been selected to provide SAN file system technology for a key Department of Defense and intelligence agency information retrieval information retrieval Recovery of information, especially in a database stored in a computer. Two main approaches are matching words in the query against the database index (keyword searching) and traversing the database using hypertext or hypermedia links. system, the Information Dissemination Services-Direct Delivery (IDS-D) program of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA NIMA National Imagery and Mapping Agency (now National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency; US government) NIMA never in mitosis gene a (molecular biology) NIMA North Idaho Mycological Association ). The contract award was placed by the IDS-D prime contractor through sub-contractor, Lynx Storage Systems, a division of Patuxent Technology Partners. "The ADIC StorNext SAN file system was chosen for this contract after extensive testing that compared a range of the latest file-system products," commented Bill Coleman William Johnson Coleman (born August 4, 1904 in Paris, Kentucky; died August 24, 1981 in Toulouse) was a jazz trumpeter from the swing era. He had his musical debut in 1927. , Director of Business Development, Lynx Storage Services.

"At ADIC we are pleased to be working with the IDS-D prime contractor and with Lynx Storage Systems as part of what we believe will be a significant contribution to our nation's intelligence gathering capabilities," said Bill Yaman, ADIC Software Vice President. "Given the current world situation, it would be hard to imagine a more important application for our high speed, data sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. technology." IDS-D is an automated, high performance information delivery system that receives, profiles, processes and directs large volumes of data at multiple security levels in order to provide timely, relevant, and accurate imagery and imagery intelligence Intelligence derived from the exploitation of collection by visual photography, infrared sensors, lasers, electro-optics, and radar sensors such as synthetic aperture radar wherein images of objects are reproduced optically or electronically on film, electronic display devices, or other information to the armed services The Constitution authorizes Congress to raise, support, and regulate armed services for the national defense. The President of the United States is commander in chief of all the branches of the services and has ultimate control over most military matters. and intelligence community. IDS-D is a key element of the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSGI NSGI Non-Specific Genital Infection NSGI National System for Geospatial Intelligence (US NIMA) ), an extensive network of systems used by the Department of Defense and the intelligence community to share and exploit imagery, imagery intelligence and geospatial information. The StorNext Management Suite is a scalable, high performance, data management solution that ensures the long-term safety and recoverability of data in SAN environments, while optimizing the use of storage resources. StorNext FS provides high-performance, shared access to centralized disk storage for heterogeneous clients. Because it gives multiple clients simultaneous access to the same files sets, StorNext eliminates the need to move large files over the LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and to store duplicate file copies. The result is high speed data sharing, improved productivity, and reduced network bottlenecks. ADIC data management software provides enterprise-scale access and protection for critical digital assets throughout their lifetime, automatically managing data on different platforms, operating systems, and media types to give users the maximum performance and utilization from their storage resource investment. ADIC data management software is used in more than 1000 organizations worldwide to manage some of the industry's largest and most challenging open systems data storage environments. |
