Agencies are inundated with modernizing legacy systems to meet the demands of today’s technology. The federal government spends roughly 80% of its $81 billion annual IT budget on maintaining existing or aging IT systems. At the same time, they are forced to complete critical projects with limited budgets and annual budget cycles.

Size, weight and power (SWaP) considerations have limited the processing power that tactical users could leverage on the battlefield. But now, the NTS Tactical Edge with the latest Klas Telecom Voyager technology, combined with VMware, enables users to deploy enterprise-grade, hyper converged tactical data storage networks to the field in a single, airline carry-on- size roll away case.

Given the increased importance of heightened security controls for shared services and cloud under the Presidents Cybersecurity Executive Order and associated Cybersecurity Framework, the need for clarity in the cloud has never been more urgent.

The federal government spends roughly 80% of its $81 billion annual IT budget on maintaining existing or aging IT systems. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), about 75% of the total amount budgeted for IT in 2016 was spent on operations and maintenance (O&M). For some agencies, the picture is even worse.

The NTS Tactical Edge provides for rapid deployment of core enterprise services to users anywhere, data center/garrison management of deployed services to include patching and updates, persistent back-up and replication of deployed/extended services, and local and remote failover with AWS, Azure, and NFS integration.
