We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Green Hills Software announced that its INTEGRITY PC
technology was selected for and successfully deployed at the Coalition Warrior
Interoperability Demonstration (CWID), an annual worldwide event held by the
military and homeland defense organizations in over 15 countries. The primary
purpose of CWID is for these organizations to identify products and
technologies that meet specific objectives, including secure communication and
collaboration.
The final report of the INTEGRITY PC deployment can be found
at https://www.cwid.js.mil/public/CWID07FR/htmlfiles/161war.html.
INTEGRITY PC was selected to address one of the most important military and
intelligence information management problems: communities struggle with the
burden of maintaining separate computers and networks to manage information at
varying sensitivity and accessibility levels. INTEGRITY PC enables the
consolidation of computers and networks, yielding enormous savings in size,
weight, power, and cost. INTEGRITY PC manages information at multiple security
levels, supports the execution of common applications and environments such as
Windows and Linux, and includes an efficient cross-domain information transfer
capability.
"The individuals from the operational community who
viewed INTEGRITY Secure Workstation during CWID were extremely impressed with
the functionality and ease of operation," commented Maj. Pete Lipohar,
Exercise and Analysis Officer, Joint Information and Intelligence Fusion
Capability Detachment, Canadian Forces. "The requirement for a true MLS
has been clearly demonstrated and the ISW solution functioned very effectively
throughout this test and evaluation exercise. Regardless of the work
environment, in any situation where multiple workstations must be used by a
single user, ISW could provide a valuable solution to improve network access."
"INTEGRITY PC combines more than a decade of mission
critical field usage, the highest level of evaluated security, open standards
and COTS platform portability, and the latest virtualization technology,"
commented David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer, Green Hills Software.
"The future success of net-centric warfare and the Global Information Grid
depends on technologies that enable the warfighter to obtain and disseminate
information in real-time and with bullet-proof security."
