Developed in Australia for the Australian Defence Force, Nexium Defence Cloud Edge (NDC Edge) delivers a sovereign capability, built on Microsoft Azure Stack technology, that is designed to be compatible with Five Eyes nations, as well as humanitarian aid and civilian applications.
The theatre level NDC Edge enables the analysis and distribution of data in real time, accelerating the decision-making cycle to gain and maintain operational tempo.
NDC Edge takes this capability from the Strategic Headquarters level to the Tactical Edge, to the dismounted warfighter and the edge of the battlespace. This secure tactical Defence Cloud that gives deployed forces access to the right information at the right time is crucial to enable rapid and informed decisions.
It offers a wide array of possible configurations, from very high-capacity and easily scalable infrastructure to all-in-one containerised systems that can establish a headquarters as a cloud node rapidly, and link it to deployed forces quickly and securely.
This capability enables deployed forces to securely share critical information across domains, multinational coalitions and other agencies to allow a shared common operating picture.
NDC Edge is designed to be flexible, with the ability to rapidly re-role in theatre, introduce new capabilities and integrate with legacy platforms, allowing commanders at all levels to build and enhance mission capability quickly.
