Dataline LLC and Amazon Web Services (AWS)  Successfully Demonstrate Secure Cloud Computing Experiment During the Navy’s Trident Warrior Lab Period

San Diego, CA – Dec 10, 2009: As part of the Navy’s annual Trident Warrior exercise, Dataline LLC successfully demonstrated that a standard shipboard communications infrastructure could be used to manage Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Simple Storage Service (S3). Presented during the fall Trident Warrior ’10 (TW ’10) lab period, Dataline’s Secure Cloud Computing proof of concept used a simulated shipboard infrastructure to demonstrate secure access to selected collaboration and geospatial information service (GIS) applications.  

The purpose of the experiment was to validate the ability of a commercial Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform to support Department of the Navy (DON) requirements for global connectivity, server failover, and application access. The proof of concept also used SecureParser® as part of the Unisys Stealth architecture to provide “data-in-motion” security. Applications used included Oracle Beehive, ERDAS Apollo and the Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) developed Transverse collaboration suite. According to LCDR Caroline Lahman, Officer-in-Charge Navy FORCEnet San Diego, “The Navy is very interested in exploring cloud computing concepts and their use in the naval tactical environment. We look forward to further testing during the Trident Warrior ’10 lab period in April.”

Bill Gerety, Dataline CEO, highlighted the AWS partnership saying that “Dataline is proud to be exploring the use of secure cloud computing technologies with Amazon Web Services.” After observing the proof of concept, SPAWAR representatives showed similar sentiments, stating that the Navy was actively considering the use of cloud computing technologies as part of its Naval Networks Enterprise-2016 strategy. Trident Warrior ’10 is scheduled to continue with a second lab period in the spring 2010 followed by an at sea demonstration period.
