Synadia announces availability of NATS.io image for DoD community | IoT Now News & Reports

Synadia, the company behind NATS.io, has officially become stewards of the Platform One Iron Bank NATS container image and is committed to its on-going management and support. The DoD is transitioning to a ‘Data-Centric’ organisation, treating data as an asset for global multi-domain operations.

Increasingly, this means providing secure access to data in multi-cloud, data centre, and edge (e.g. satellites, sensors, ships, vehicles, warfighter backpacks and other mobile endpoints) environments. In support of this mission, Synadia employs cleared resources at TS-SCI level and has also made available a version of the software with a FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptographic module.

“Systalex has been a key data transformation partner to the Federal Government for three decades. We are excited to partner with Synadia and bring the innovation of NATS to our customers as they look to modernise and extend their data services out to the Edge. Having secure and supported software available via the Iron Bank services is a critical part of vetting open source solutions for our customer projects,” says Rob Brown, Systalex chief technology officer.

NATS is an open source distributed messaging and data fabric technology that can scale from a single, partially connected IoT device, to a globally network backbone, delivering secure, consistent and low-latency data access without requiring skilled cloud infrastructure. NATS enables developers to simplify their mission directives by providing services such as microservices, service discovery, streaming, key-value and object stores, all within a single zero trust security model suitable for ‘high-side and low-side’ applications. 

“The adoption of NATS in the DoD and Intelligence Communities has continued to accelerate as the demand for delivering secure, real-time data in support of critical decision-making is increasing for both on and off the battlefield applications,” says Steve Dischinger, Synadia VP of business development. “Having a hardened NATS image available was a consistent request by both our Federal consulting partners and the DoD user community–and incorporating the Iron Bank Platform initiative was a simple extension of our existing DevOps process. Synadia is also pleased to offer on-going technical and architectural support to any interested agency.”
