"By the very nature of being unified, IceWEB storage solutions break down physical and virtual barriers separating the flow of data for meaningful analysis," said Steven Toole, IceWEB's Chief Marketing Officer. "Having IceWEB's single platform to store, manage and access all types of data -- both structured and unstructured -- across any network protocol, makes it possible to obtain the benefits of big data analytics. Our partners at Cloud Front Group are experts at implementing big data solutions and gleaning valuable insights from data needed to satisfy mission objectives."

Implementing a single platform for all storage requirements is a key component to realizing the tremendous benefits of big data analytics."
