Decoupled Rendering Channels to Reduce Logistical Support Spares Requirements of Large Scale Training Centers. Navy SBIR FY2013.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2013.1 Topic No.: N131-018 Topic Title: Decoupled Rendering Channels to Reduce Logistical Support Spares Requirements of Large Scale Training Centers. Proposal No.: N131-018-1009 Firm: Aechelon Technology 600 Townsend Street Suite 425W San Francisco, California 94103 Contact: David Morgan Phone: (913) 851-3886 Web Site: www.aechelon.com Abstract: A system is described that minimizes the logistical footprint and administrative overhead of multi-unit training centers. This system builds on the dual foundation of Aechelon Technology's industry-leading industry-leading pC-Nova(tm) Image Generators' diskless components and Nexus XL(tm?) Unified Storage architecture, enabling image generators to be administered from a centralized location, with a single copy of databases and a shared CM system. The addition of universal digital video routing and enhanced network connectivity will enable Image Generator components to be pooled for enhanced trainer availability while simultaneously reducing sparing requirements. Benefits: Dramatically reducing administrative overhead and downtime will benefit both the DoD and Aechelon Technology, by reducing the amount of time and labor required to bring new training devices from installation to operation, as well as reducing ongoing support costs. The solution developed will become a part of Aechelon Technology's commercial Nexus product portfolio, and will be made available to any program requiring multiple Image Generators on a single Base or site.
