Secure Legacy Application Integration with NCES (SLAIN)

Our solution is a generic "gateway/edge translation product", for Secure Legacy Application Integration with the NCES Enterprise Network structure (called “SLAIN”), that provides a modular implementation of the following capabilities to enhance Legacy systems and enable them to interact in a more Net-Centric role in support of the Navy and FORCEnet guidance: • IA interoperability (few legacy systems address IA for a Net-Centric Enterprise), • cross-boundary policy enforcement, • user/role management, • protocol translation & transformation at the "Edge" as part of the NCES architecture/guidance and integration with all the proposed NCES Services • distributed control & management, • Information Dissemination Management • Data synchronization support & data persistence management • A highly flexible, easily configured, and easily deployed solution. • The modular structure accommodates new protocols and upgrades of existing GCCS-M, FORCEnet or other systems to work together and support any COP. • Support for C2 Integration & Information sharing through support of the C2IEDM Information Exchange Data Model for translation/transformation through a federation of SLAIN Gateways.
