The U.S. Army’s data is mission-critical. Mission success depends on getting the right data to the right people in the right place at the right time. Data, like time, is either working for you or against you—and it is only valuable when being used efficiently. The challenge is to effectively consume, manage, and store data while enhancing the agility, security, and performance of the forces using it. That said, budgets are strained. How do we equip warfighters on the front line while achieving maximum operational efficiency?

The right technology is essential, and our solutions must be:

•Everywhere—Enabling seamless and secure, rapid operations across the entire spectrum of conflict. That means empowering the soldier, even at the most for-ward and/or remote operating base. That also means integrated C4ISR anywhere it is needed.

•Effective—Using the right IT tools for the job. That means virtualizing IT systems to accelerate and improve decision making across the force.

•Efficient—Delivering at the best price. That means transforming the enterprise and tactical infrastructure to save space, weight, and power. At the same time, it means increasing capabilities and making things easier, therefore reducing train-ing/support requirements.

MISSION-CRITICAL IT CHALLENGESThe Network of 2020 modernization is not just about “doing more with less.” The Army owns a series of missions with twenty-five meter targets. We need to move both quickly and strategically. EMC® solutions and experience can help the Army match the right solutions to each mission and accelerate success.

Mission—Army Data Center Consolidation Plan

The Army must reduce data centers by 75 percent by 2015. However, data center consolidation is much more than walking into data centers and cutting the power. Success requires an in-depth understanding of how applications support systems and how systems support the mission. We need a battle plan for the consolidation challenge. Virtualization and automation are critical to success, but the big-picture win begins with application rationalization—it’s critical to achieving real transformation.

Solution—Step-by-step Infrastructure Convergence

Consolidation doesn’t happen overnight or by accident—it’s a journey. EMC Consulting helps you map the route. VMware®, Cisco, and EMC work together to provide standardized, high-performance, large-scale virtualization and automation. Our enterprise solutions give you options, enhance your agility, and support your success.

Mission—Virtual End-User Environment

The Army workforce, both active duty and civilian alike, requires access to IT services anywhere, 24x7. Telework and remote access are the new normal—and they’re delivering impressive savings, flexibility, and productivity gains.

Solution—Virtualize Your Entire Desktop and Supporting Infrastructure

EMC and VMware offer the leading next-generation desktop—delivering efficiency, control, and choice. Connect securely from anywhere, using any device at peak performance. EMC Consulting helps you plan, build, and implement the right virtualization solution. EMC’s infrastructure technology, specifically designed for

WINNING

EMC’s mission is to ensure our Army customers realize the maximum value from their data. Our assets, solutions, and expertise equip the Army to win decisively.

SIMPLE

IT is complicated, but your modernization decisions don’t need to be. From an individual soldier to a forward-operating base, and from a foxhole to the Pentagon—EMC has the technology and experience to accelerate the Army’s Network of 2020 success.

virtual desktops, reduces the cost of, and enhances management capabilities for, next-generation desktop deployment. Security and collaboration solutions provided by RSA®, The Security Division of EMC, keep you safe and productive—anywhere and everywhere.

Mission—Modernize the Tactical Deployable Stack

The tactical compute stack is more than applications, servers, and data. It will become a private cloud supporting an array of services, widgets, and applications for commands and individual soldiers. Big and bulky is unacceptable—the warfighter needs efficient, simple solutions. Storage is essential—and how your solutions convert raw storage to usable storage is critical. The Army needs next-generation tactical deployable IT infrastructure capabilities. That means small, light, efficient, simple, powerful, and affordable.

Solution—Bring Efficiencies to the Warfighter

Working with our partner Themis, EMC offers virtual cloud stacks that deliver higher performance and easier operation right out of the box. Engineered to withstand harsh environments, their reduced size, weight, and power requirements make them ideal for tactical deployment. EMC storage solutions’ combination of features—reliability, simplicity, efficiency, and a small, lightweight footprint—make them the industry leader. EMC’s and Themis’ unified storage platforms offer the power, performance, and data protection of larger arrays that are both affordable and designed so the IT novice can manage them.

Mission—C4ISR

Data growth is exponential today. The Army’s global sensor networks create huge amounts of intelligence—and more data is coming. We’re on the brink of a data explosion. How can we extract the precise data necessary to win? This is what is now being called “Big Data”—massively scalable, efficient storage married to massively parallel analytics engines. The answer: integrate Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) with new “Big Data” capabilities. Together they empower the Army to predict the next threat first, prioritize targets, and deploy tailored resources to affect global outcomes.

Solution—Actionable Intelligence from Precision C4ISR

EMC’s game-changing technologies transform “Big Data” into precision C4ISR that delivers actionable intelligence. Offering scalability, capacity, and reliability, EMC Isilon® Scale-Out Network Storage traps and stores critical information. EMC Greenplum® Predictive and Interactive Analytics rescue you from the data deluge. We deliver new insights by telling you what sensor data means and by turning digital inputs into better, faster decisions.

Mission—Migrate to the Cloud

One thing is certain—IT delivery will change more in the next five years than it has in the past 25 years. You cannot opt out of cloud. The Army needs optimized, flexible, and efficient private and hybrid clouds—secure, agile, and everywhere.

Solution—Sharing Our Journey

EMC Cloud Advisory Services use a proven, three-phase approach to help the Army select and deploy cloud-based solutions. Cloud-ready Vblock™ Infrastructure Platforms from the VCE Company deliver high-performance virtualization, accelerating your journey to the cloud. RSA cloud security solutions give you the confidence that your information is protected in the cloud.
