Fusion-io to Present at Coalition Warrior Interoperability DemonstrationMay 05, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Fusion-io, pioneer of a next-generation storage memory platform for shared data decentralization, announced that it will participate in the Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration, an annual event focusing on operational shortfalls identified by combatant commanders and government agencies. According to a release, during CWID 2011, set for June 13-16, at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific, in San Diego, Fusion-io will demonstrate how its storage memory technology can reduce energy consumption and enhance speed-to-intelligence for warfighters, first-responders, analysts and datacenter operators. Directed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CWID selects and approves technologies for its annual event because they address a new information sharing capability or potentially improve an existing capability. The demonstrations focus on technology discovery, risk reduction and coalition interoperability. "CWID scenarios provide a unique way to evaluate technologies that can advance key capabilities of the Navy," said Jay Iannacito, Project Manager and Navy Site Lead for CWID. "Some of the technologies we're testing this year support SSC Pacific executive director's Energy Reduction Strategy and offer a potential to significantly reduce power consumption in both afloat and shore applications." "More than ever, rapid interpretation of multiple points of data in real-world, wartime environments can mean the difference between life or death for soldiers and civilians," said Fred Vasofsky, Fusion-io Director of Federal Systems. "Fusion-io understands how critically important it is for warfighters and analysts to be able to quickly and correctly interpret field data. Through our participation in CWID, our military leaders will be able to assess how our technology can make a significant contribution to the defense and disaster response-related activities of our nation and allies." Fusion-io is a provider of a next-generation storage memory platform. ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) |
