Solution Review: Moving from Purpose Built Communications & Data Analytics Products to Virtualized Applications

Description
Envistacom is the world leader in communications waveform virtualization for both cloud, public and private data centers, as well as tactical edge products using high-performance computing (HPC) architectures. Envistacom has invested in this transformative technology enabling the abstraction of modem waveforms and other capabilities from purpose built, real time, and continuous data processing physical devices to virtualized applications hosted on computing platforms. As the cloud infrastructure continues to take the world by storm, the computing fabric revolution that is supporting the cloud is being supported by the HPC. The HPC is the combination of the Central Processing Unit (traditional PC processor), combined with a hardware assisted technology such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Tying this all together, advances in computing languages, such as Open Computing Language (OpenCL) have super charged the computing environment to allow extremely complex, logic intensive, waveforms for satellite, cellular, tactical radio, and data analytics to now be completely virtualized and supported in the cloud or on stand-alone HPCs, and tactical-edge devices. Envistacom is building a communications and data analytics library for satellite and tactical radio waveforms enabling the next generation war fighter to carry a single hardware platform, allowing support for a multitude of satellite and tactical radio waveforms to be supported on a single hardware platform. To complement the virtualized waveform, distributed data analytics and other real time and continuous processing capabilities may also be supported at the tactical edge, allowing a major improvement in reaction time being afforded to the war fighter. Envistacom is creating a new paradigm, enabling all waveform vendors to now participate in this new ecosystem. With our strong focus on research and development, Envistacom continues to provide support for emerging technologies to include, but not limited to communications waveforms and data analytics solutions. As the US Government looks to improve their flexibility and reduce their dependence on purpose-built, single purpose solutions, Envistacom provides maximum flexibility and manageability while extending the life of existing deployed hardware solutions. The anticipated benefits of virtualization: the ability to adapt rapidly to meet new, changing, and missing requirements and reconfiguration (before, during, and after a mission) is a primary goal of this technology. Building on the HPC technology, the virtualization solutions may exist as cloud based or tactical edge-based solutions supported by a growing library of waveforms for satellite (e.g. DVB-S2, DVB-S2X, etc.) and Tactical Radio (e.g. SINGARS) and data analytics (ground sensors, video surveillance, and biometrics). Coupled with Envistacom's hardware development skills small Size Weight & Power (SW&P) may be employed to provide extremely small footprint products with the power of full size HPC processor solutions supporting all of Envistacom's library of waveforms. As the US Government's branches and agencies continue to adapt and move to more cloud and flexible mission requirements, virtualization provides the technology that can scale and meet missions to enable the US Government to explore innovative ways to transform and deliver a flexible solution to the war fighter This new paradigm will enable equipment that can provide cross branch and cross agency communications using a common ecosystem. Virtualization is helping both commercial entities and the US Government reconsider their approach and look to a more flexible architecture that supports any and all waveforms on common computing and communications hardware.
