The World is a Battlefield Power. Speed. Portability. Security. Tadpole computers jump to the next generation of mission-critical solutions with Solaris, Linux and Windows notebook computers. Today's world demands that your operating environment provide uncompromised security while serving multiple data feeds from a wide range of sources. The Tadpole product family of lightweight, secure and flexible servers can handle mission-critical applications in virtually any environment. Consider the military-rated V2 BULLFROG I, with its dual-processors and the ability to run Solaris and Windows simultaneously. It's 20 pounds of lean processing muscle that delivers massive computer power in a very portable ruggedized package. This high-security,highly compatible Solaris system enables you to take a powerful and secure server to the field, virtually anywhere, anytime. Whether protecting our nation from terrorism, coordinating command-and-control operations, executing in-field battlefield management,or responding to emergencies at home, you need rapid deployment of mission-capable, integrated solutions. If heterogeneous architecture systems are an essential part of your future, we can provide a decisive advantage. Our Comet notebooks are the perfect solution to push and pull critical data over a secure wired or wireless ultra-thin client. Our computing solutions enable you to keep critical data where it is supposed to be — residing at your data warehouse, not on external systems that could easily be compromised. When security of operations and missions are essential, and you need to process large amounts of data into a forward or hostile environment, Tadpole computers are your obvious solution. Benefits of Tadpole computing solutions for Military Computing Applications: Network Centric Security Role-based Operating Environment with EAL4 Accreditation for networks that must operate under strict, multi-layer, multi-network data access and collaboration policies and procedures. Tadpole Computer and Fortress Technologies have joined forces to offer a simple, robust solution for the complex problem of multi-level security (MLS). The solution combines Tadpole's award winning ultra-thin client technology with Fortress Technologies FIPS-certified network security products and services for U.S. government agencies. The combined components work together seamlessly in a MLS solution that is mobile, secure and affordable. As well as being ideally suited to Command & Control, Military Intelligence and a whole host of other deployable applications, the solution easily scales for use in any military organization that has a requirement for affordable MLS based on readily available Commercial-Off-The-Shelf technology (COTS). The MLS network gateway servers comprise Secure Gateways from Fortress Technologies and small form-factor secure servers from Tadpole Computer. The Fortress Secure Gateways provide the high assurance link between the Tadpole Comet ultra-thin clients and the secure network server. Tadpole Bullfrog mobile servers provide Tadpole Comet users the ability to access applications and data on multiple security network domains. Together they provide: Policy management for user authentication and access control privileges Administration for individuals and groups of users that let new users or groups of users be established or disabled instantly Secure gateways to multiple networks at different classification levels Policy controls that allow authorized users to view multiple classification labels simultaneously Access to community networks, allowing users to browse various classified networks from the same window Centrally located and tightly managed secure server(s) for simplicity of administration and optimum security A solution that works with existing infrastructure solutions In-transit Layer 2 security Secure Desktop Access User/Security level model & creates a range of Kiosk (many users to 1 client) and Control Station (1 client to multiple networks) options. It eliminates fat client virus, WORM, and Hacker intrusion points. It creates Persistent Mobile Sessions, or “Hot Desking”, with nothing left behind — no local data to be lost, stolen or compromised. Reduced Cost & Complexity Secure front-end migration without swapout of legacy and windows applications—Reduced time to add new users and communities—Rapid time to initial deployment and future upgrades—Ultra-Thin Client Upfront Savings of 45%. Superior Product Performance How does the military employ our computing solutions? For critical issues like tracking troop and enemy movements, gathering and accessing recon data, accomplishing command and control, and many other mission critical activities. A key to this work is speed and consistent performance in adverse conditions. Tadpole product computing solutions keep pace with processor technology and feature fast UltraSPARC processors to ensure that there is no waiting around when real time solutions are required. It's not only the proven performance of our hardware, it's also our service. We are consistently recognized by military personnel for excellence in service. Our services program is like calling in reinforcements for your computing needs. Extended warranties, fast repair and replacement options and other benefits make our services a powerful performance enhancement tool.
