ViON Adopted by Department of Homeland Security

ViON Corporation, in the design, delivery and support of mission-critical IT infrastructure solutions, was selected by the Department of Homeland Security’s National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) to deliver its DataAdapt Information Security and Advanced Analytics platform on-premise for immediate deployment.

The preconfigured and validated solution provides storage and DR as well as additional compute and processing power to support NPPD’s other data analytics tools.

“Investing in data analytics is a growing trend across Federal government as data volume continues to expand and the value and impact of that data increases,” explained Tom Frana, CEO, ViON. “NPPD is leading the effort to protect the resilience of our nation’s infrastructure and we are pleased to deliver a working solution out of the box deployed within their data center by our services team. Our solution is helping to drive NPD’s critical mission with speed and efficiency and enables them to leverage DR infrastructure to do production workloads.“

DataAdapt is an enterprise-ready platform that extends the capabilities of the NPPD’s current analytics platform, allowing the organization to offload existing data into a more cost-effective storage structure. The solution enables replication between Hadoop clusters in an ‘active-active’ manner that minimizes the level of effort required to backup data. It also provides NPPD with additional compute, processing and analytics capabilities to support its production needs.

NPPD works with partners at all levels of government, and from the private and non-profit sectors, to share information and build greater trust to make the nation’s cyber and physical infrastructure more secure. NPPD’s vision is a safe, secure, and resilient infrastructure where the American way of life can thrive.
