Methodology

With the amount of unstructured data the defense community is handling, it is becoming less and less feasible to move the data from disparate sources to where the analytics applications reside. These big data problems require a common analytic platform that can operate a broad range of analytic solutions. Ayrris™ / DEFENSE eliminates this challenge by combining High-Performance Computing, Cloud Computing Architectures and Complex Analytics into a single platform that orchestrates and simplifies analytics processes critical to arming the warfighter with actionable intelligence.

The Ayrris / DEFENSE Platform organizes, schedules, and maintains large numbers of commodity computers and their storage resources so they work together as a single system to support your computational needs. It then dynamically decomposes and schedules your large-scale analytics across the available resources. During computation, Ayrris monitors execution, rebalances workloads, and self-heals any failures without user interaction. Most importantly, it sends work requests to where the data is resident, eliminating data movement and application latency. This dynamic allocation of effort allows petabytes of information to be absorbed and processed quickly, providing analyzed results 10–100x faster than traditional deployments. And when supporting the warfighter, time is always of the essence.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

Ayrris™ / DEFENSE has been optimized to overcome the data processing and storage challenges of the Intelligence and Defense community. Bringing HPC together with cloud computing architectures and complex analytics, it streamlines data analysis by bringing analytics applications to data through Computational Storage™. The result is a purely distributed software platform that empowers analysts by:

• Simplifying application deployment through a scalable and consistent framework capable of providing dynamic membership and software provisioning services
• Enabling high-speed data processing rates improve efficiency through improved application performance and cost effectiveness
• Handling distribution and scaling issues, monitoring errors and limitations, and eliminating points of failure
• Allowing administrators to maintain collection of machines as if they were a single system

CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURES

Robust, yet simple, Ayrris / DEFENSE utilizes cloud computing architectures to provide a functional foundation for the “messy” elements of building complex systems at scale. With its ability to effectively distribute storage and computation, Ayrris / DEFENSE provides an ideal platform for large-scale analytics, where terabytes and petabytes of data must be stored and processed. By leveraging the built-in scalability, capacity and performance of cutting-edge cloud technology, Ayrris / DEFENSE delivers computational power unlike any currently available.
