Within our Collaboration Lab environment, we conduct continuous, in-depth technology exchanges, experimentation, and evaluations together with our diverse network of commercial manufacturers.

We stage, test and customize numerous vendor products in support of customer requirements. Our specialist project teams have interrogated the benefits and drawbacks of the latest approaches to high performance networking, extreme storage, high performance file systems, low latency non-volatile storage and scalable metrics and monitoring.

The results of our work have delivered a string of tangible benefits to our government customers.
