Trident Warrior 2011 (TW11), is a US Navy led annual series of experimentations sponsored this year by Commander, 2nd Fleet and Commander, 5th Fleet, and directed by US Fleet Forces Command.
It focuses on technical experimentation of more than 50 critical maritime initiatives. Primary goals are to improve networks capabilities, platform tactical communication networks, and interoperability between U.S. and coalition partners.The iOra testing was conducted in the US and UK as part of the AUSCANNZUKUS organisations contribution to TRIDENT WARRIOR.
As part of this program iOra has been able to demonstrate a broad set of replication capabilities using their Geo-Replicator software platform. iOra was able to demonstrate replication between Microsoft SharePoint servers, replicating Lotus Domino backup files, and other third-party anti-virus data files.
All these demonstrations were conducted in the typical military maritime environment of highly restricted low bandwidth with intermittent connectivity. The trials were conducted on a live coalition SECRET Network.
During testing, it was established that updates to deployed Lotus Domino databases could be distributed using Geo-Replicator’s special compressed files that were under 0.5% of the original source content.
“iOra Geo-Replicator has been proven to provide impressive levels of compression on our operational databases and has allowed us to trial new techniques which if implemented could radically affect how we distribute classified data to deployed units” – A UK MoD Technical Source.
iOra participated in the UK based trials in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, during June.
