The GEOINT Revolution: GEOINT 2016
We’re in the midst of a revolution. A revolution that has been gaining momentum over the past 10 years which will “change the way humans interact with where we are, what we’re doing, and how we understand and characterize activity on Earth.” It’s a dramatic shift leaving many agencies with questions about how to become a part of it. According to a recent article outlining the 10 technology components that make up GEOINT, this movement is defined as “the derivation of information from imagery, geospatial data in all forms and analytics.” But that casts a wide net. Distilled down, it comes down to simply ingesting massive amounts of data, managing it in an efficient platform, using analytics to derive actionable intelligence and making this information available to the right people at the right time. When done properly, it becomes a cycle, building on existing insights, layering on new data to identify trends which can lead to predictive analytics. Sounds complicated, right? It doesn’t have to be.
ViON is on the leading edge of big data, cyber analytics, cloud, video surveillance and storage. We are at the center of the revolution helping customers in federal, state and local government, commercial and public safety plan for and implement programs that make data management, data analytics and data protection easier. Consider some of the key parts of the technology mash-up that create a solid GEOINT program.
- Storage: With the rise of the cloud, data storage is more accessible than ever. We help you optimize your storage, moving it in and out of the cloud, between storage tiers, making it efficient and practical.
- Mobility: Nearly half a billion mobile devices were added in 2014 alone. We enable increased mobility through the cloud, helping users access and share information instantly and from virtually anywhere.
- Data Analytics: 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years. Unstructured data is growing at a rate of 75x. Harnessing this information can yield tremendous insights with the right tools in place. ViON’s DataAdapt platform can help you remove the complexity of big data analytics.
With ViON’s Hitachi Content Platform (HCP), you can tap into the power of location data, the Internet of things, remotely-sensed imaging and information, and more, making the GEOINT revolution a reality. HCP stores, shares, synchronizes, protects, preserves, analyzes and retrieves file data in a single system allowing you the freedom to move data to your choice of public clouds automatically, based on policy, and still retain control and visibility at all times.
We all want to change the world. ViON has the tools to help you do it, one step at a time. Meet us at GEOINT 2016 and find out more.
