A secure, deployable cloud

Providing the same benefits as civil cloud environments (simplicity, flexibility and scalability) but engineered for the chaos and uncertainty of the battlefield: harsh environmental conditions, extreme temperatures, shocks and vibrations, cooling challenges, energy consumption, manoeuvrability requirements, multiple classification levels, constrained connectivity, heterogeneous communication systems (satellite coms, LOS & tactical radios, etc.)

Main elements

NEXIUM Defence Cloud offers a comprehensive range of form factors to meet the requirements of every level of command and provide a distributed cloud architecture for local hosting and computing capacities, to avoid single points of failure. NEXIUM Defence Cloud also adjusts to each customer’s specific needs, allowing them to select only the software layers that best fit their requirements.

NEXIUM Orchestrator is an overarching management tool for orchestration of network functions, IT resources, services and security. NEXIUM Orchestrator ensures quick and easy configuration and dynamic adjustment to keep pace with changes in mission tempo. It enables CIS operators to provide critical services and maximise manoeuvrability, taking into account topology, data flows, diversity of technologies, silo-based management tools, etc.

NEXIUM Defence Cloud includes the SafeCore secured NFVi solution. Instead of fielding multiple items of equipment (router, firewall, encryptor, etc.), each requiring a specific qualification process, SafeCore runs on a single piece of hardware, with virtualized networking functions. This virtualisation layer minimises SWaP, optimises resource usage, and reduces the need for hardware and spare parts, simplifying logistics, and enhancing manoeuvrability.

Command posts in high-intensity warfare

Command posts are a strategic link of the military value chain, serving as the nerve centre that allows deployed forces to achieve information and tactical superiority and accelerate the tempo of operations.
