MilDef OneCIS solutions provides:
- Support for both autonomous and joint tactical operations
- Fully automated and standalone deployment and configuration of IT services
- Highly mobile, secure, and flexible tactical IT solution
- NATO Federated Mission Networking (FMN) ready
Solution
MilDef OneCIS consists of the following components:
- Communications services such as IP routing, switching, and firewalling
- Infrastructure services that enable access to the business support services and other applications through or hosted on OneCIS
- Business support services (core services) such as informal messaging (email), database, document collaboration, and web services
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that can host your functional services such as Command and Control (C2), Battlefield Management (BMS) and Geographical services
- Standalone deployment solution that enables automated and rapid deployment of the local services
- Easy to use management tools that allow the local operators to perform often used operations tasks through automation
Automated Deployment
The automated orchestration and deployment allow for a high level of automation when installing and configuring your tactical IT services. This means that you can deploy your services within hours, instead of days or weeks, and with fewer technical resources. OneCIS automated deployment solution is standalone solution and works autonomously. This enables the users to also deploy and redeploy their services in the field.
Automated deployment and configuration of:
- Hypervisor
- Operating systems
- Virtual appliances
- Network services
- Core services
Core Services
MilDef OneCIS can include the following core infrastructure and business services:
- Communication services
- Informal messaging
- Text based collaboration
- Web hosting
- Web authentication
- Calendaring and scheduling
- Directory service
- Network firewall with IDPS
- Management tools
- Security information and event management
- Backup and recovery
Functional services such as command and control (C2), battlefield management (BMS) and geographical services can be integrated with the deployment solutions as needed (requires custom integration project).
Tactical Private Cloud
MilDef OneCIS brings private cloud technology to the tactical edge, such as edge computing, automated orchestration of IT services and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Allows for delivery of tactical IT services by executing automated workflows rather than manual installations. Execute your deployment in hours rather than days or weeks, and get the same result each time, even in the field. No need for a static staging environment or subject matter experts.
OneCIS can utilize services from static data centres or other deployed capabilities according to NATO FMN. Locally installed services will work autonomous in case of communications failure by using the local tactical cloud computing resources
Federated Mission Networking (FMN)
MilDef OneCIS provides FMN connectivity to nations and partners so that they can communicate effectively on operations, missions, and exercises.
Tactical Edge Computing
MilDef’s fully ruggedized OneCIS tactical edge node example configuration:
- Virtualized computing, storage, and network
- Network switch
