Industry Profile:®Appistry EAF for the Intelligence CommunityHelping Intelligence Agencies Achieve New Levels of Insight
High resolution satellites, multi-modal sensors, and other input sources are driving an explosion in data available to the Intelligence community. At the same time, today's global security environment is driving the need to more rapidly turn data into insight and effective action. Processing more data, faster, presents a considerable challenge.yra Intelligence agencies cannot afford delays in uncovering actionable insight through data- and compute-intensive m applications such as signal intelligence, geospatial intelligence and cryptanalysis. At the same time, agencies and their m commercial suppliers must work within operationally constrained environments. Unfortunately, traditional IT approaches u simply fall short when it comes to providing a solution that can reliably process massive amounts of data in a timely S fashion without overburdening agency budgets and labor resources.evit Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric (Appistry EAF) provides a "scale without fail" application environment that enables u intelligence agencies to run large-scale data-processing applications more quickly, easily and cost-effectively than ce previously possible. By building scalability, dependability and manageability into the application layer itself, Appistry EAF x insulates mission-critical applications from underlying infrastructure failures, while empowering agencies with new levels E of scale, agility and cost-effectiveness to meet the intelligence demands of today and tomorrow.
Why Appistry EAF for Intelligence Applications?
Drive new techniques from lab to analyst Identify more intricate patterns of activity by 1 more quickly 3 enabling more sophisticated data analyses
Eliminate proprietary hardware and management Meet future intelligence needs by easily scaling 2 overhead costs as barriers to mission success 4 existing analyses or adding new analysesThe Challenge: Solution: Failure Is Not An Option Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric
Intelligence agencies face enormous pressure to meet ever-increasing Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric is a software-based environ-mission demands. With national security at stake, failure is simply not ment for running time-critical, CPU-and/or data-intensive applications an option. To meet their objectives, agencies rely on technology to (e.g. geospatial and signal intelligence) on a self-healing network of help them quickly process massive amounts of data into insights that commodity-grade computers. Appistry EAF creates a next- can be acted upon before a threat becomes a crisis. generation "scale without fail" grid environment by building scalability, dependability and manageability into the application layer. This approach However, with threats intensifying at the same time that data sources insulates fabric-based applications from the underlying physical are expanding, traditional approaches struggle to keep up. If data- infrastructure and its frailties, so intelligence applications can survive to-insight latencies continue to increase, analysis innovations that inevitable infrastructure failure without loss of data or interruption lead to intelligence breakthroughs may be stifled.

Overall, unlike traditional grid technology, Appistry EAF be agencies that are "treading water," rather than moving forward enables cost-effective scaling without sacrificing application in new directions that may ultimately make the difference between dependability or manageability.mission success and failure.
Appistry EAF: Next-Generation Platform for Intelligence ApplicationsAppistry EAF software makes it easy to achieve mission objectives by predictably and reliably executing large- 1scale intelligence applications. Appistry EAF automatically organizes machines to maximize scalability, balance load across the computing infrastructure, and compensate for hardware and software failures. Because Appistry EAF does all of this dynamically, in a fully distributed manner, no single point of failure exists in the application fabric and all work is completed successfully-on time, every time. Furthermore, new computers can come online and existing computers can fail, all without interruption to running applications and without manual operator intervention.
