Owl Computing Technologies, Inc. - Owl Press Release

Ridgefield, Connecticut, October 7, 2011 – Owl Computing Technologies, Inc., the premier source for secure, reliable, fast one-way information sharing, announces that the Owl 4.0SFF Cross Domain Solution (CDS) has successfully passed the Random Vibration and Loose Cargo Transportation Tests as defined in U.S. military specification MIL-STD-810F. As a single integrated device, Owl 4.0SFF is the latest addition of the Owl Computing suite of CDS platforms. It is designed to meet the secure information sharing needs of field-forward, tactical deployment – on land, sea, and in the air.

At 1U (1.75 inches) in height, the rackmountable Owl 4.0SFF contains all the elements of a full-blown cross domain solution – Send-only and Receive-only servers, connected via proprietary Owl DualDiode® hardware Communication Cards and a one-way fiber-optic link. With a security-policy constrained instance of the Linux operating system on each server, and role-based access to maintenance and CDS operation, Owl 4.0SFF enables absolute information assurance in mission-critical environments.

Dr. Ron Mraz, Owl President & CTO commented: “Our US military customers appreciate the tactical need for secure information sharing, as they do for the information assurance delivered by Owl Computing’s higher capacity enterprise systems deployed in the data center environment. Owl’s ability to deliver the same services to downrange key terrain, in a form factor ‘sized’ right for vehicle and mobile command post, assures local command that the sharing networks and info shared are not compromised.” On independent MilSpec testing, Ron added: “Making certain the CDS gear can withstand the rigors of physical transport, then power-up & operate, are requirements central to our products’ deployment and use. Other MilSpec tests are in the works to best characterize the robustness of Owl solutions for our client base.”
