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。
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。
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。

Data Capture for Afghanistan Forces
Electronic equipments on the field of Afghanistan provided information on the status of the vehicle and to identify potential threats surrounding it to the British Force. The monitoring and interpretation of this data requires robust and sophisticated digitization for data capture and communication.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.

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.

Leveraging Graph Technology for Enhanced Cybersecurity: A Case Study on MITRE's CyGraph
MITRE, a federally-funded, not-for-profit company that manages seven national research and development laboratories in the United States, was grappling with the challenge of managing an influx of cybersecurity data. The constant changes in network environments were impacting the security posture of U.S. government agencies. Intrusion alerts, anti-virus warnings, and seemingly benign events like logins, service connections, and file share access were all potentially associated with adversary activity. The cybersecurity researchers at MITRE needed to go beyond rudimentary assessments of security posture and attack response. This required merging isolated data into higher-level knowledge of network-wide attack vulnerabilities and mission readiness. The challenge was not the lack of information, but the ability to assemble disparate pieces of information into an overall analytic picture for situational awareness, optimal courses of action, and maintaining mission readiness. The team also struggled with fully comprehending a given security environment and mapping all known vulnerabilities.

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.
