Navy passes CPS system

The Common Processing System (CPS), a mission critical computing system built with commercial systems for the US Navy, has passed a critical design review, writes Defense Systems.

Developed by Global Technical Systems and Northrop Grumman, CPS meets the Navy's requirements for an open-architecture computing environment for combat systems.

“CPS is sort of the incarnation of their objective architecture,” says Tyson Moler, director of federal operations at GoAhead Software, who says it has been working very closely with the Navy along those lines.

HP has signed a contract with Alcatel-Lucent to deliver and market unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) services to clients, states Telecom Paper.

The offering includes migration from multi-vendor and legacy PBX to an IP voice integrated layer that uses Alcatel's open IP telephony architecture for UC&C.

HP and Genesys will also provide intelligent workload distribution for automated workflow and workload within business processes. These offerings are built on HP's UC&C consulting services.

EMag Solutions, a provider of enterprise content management and electronic discovery solutions, has unveiled the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) for law firms and corporations, writes PRWeb.

NDMP is a method of backing up standalone network attached storage devices that would otherwise not allow for the installation of backup agents due to closed architectures in business.

NDMP forms a mechanism to communicate with the backup server and deliver the data to the tape/disc storage.
