    iOra Builds on UK MOD Success with £1.5m+ Contract

    iOra is delighted to have been awarded a contract worth over £1.5m from the UK MOD that represents continuation of supply of our replication and compression solution.

    We provide British troops in remote or mobile locations around the world with mission critical data regardless of slow or intermittent network access. This new contract follows on from a previous, successfully-delivered contract to UK MOD.

    iOra Geo-Replicator provides a major benefit within the Defence industry where MOD consortia need to work closely by allowing the sharing of only required information using a web portal wherever and whenever 24/7, 365.

    Adele Keeble – Ministry of Defence – Software Asset Management says:

    “iOra continues to be an integral part of the Ministry of Defence, delivering essential software across the organisation. The working relationship between MOD and iOra means that we have been able to centralise the procurement route, taking in any future requirement, be it new licences or ongoing support and maintenance for iOra software delivering a one stop strategy, saving time, money and resources.”

  • Big Data Over Challenging Networks

    Big Data Over Challenging Networks

    The management, analysis, storage and transfer of Big Data has become the focus of many enterprises as they struggle to find ways to control, and potentially benefit from the data that they are capturing at the operational end of the business.

    The data explosion has occurred as more and more devices and servers are being deployed to capture increasing quantities of data.

    These devices include tools that provide covert monitoring data, remote telemetry data, software logs, operational performance data, through to the human generated repositories of corporate portals, social networks and file shares. The distributed enterprise has the effect of scattering these Big Data repositories over the every continent, and to places where network connectivity has the effect of isolating the remote site where the networks are often disconnected and challenging . iOra has worked with many enterprises to remove the challenging network as a barrier for transferring Big Data back to the corporate hub for management and analysis.

    Not only does iOra have the capability to replicate installed and virtualised web portals e.g. Lotus Notes, Microsoft SharePoint, but also has the option of being able to replicate raw file sets and directories of data using the world leading Epsilon compression technology.
