Oracle Big Data Appliance Every day, S.H.I.E.L.D. captures terabytes of information from a variety of sources— surveillance video, satellites, sensors, field reports, network traffic—and all of this high-volume, high-velocity, and high-variety data is processed, filtered, transformed, and sorted in Oracle Big Data Appliance.

ORACLE.COM/ORACLEMAGAZINEM Oracle Business Analytics For S. H. I. E. L. D., threat assessment begins with daily input—massive amounts of structured and unstructured data, collected from tens of thousands of sources, processed in Oracle engineered systems, and stored intelligently. But while raw information ultimately holds the answers, that information requires analysis before S. H. I.E. L.D. can finalize situation reports and take action. S. H. I. E. L. D. relies on analytics and enterprise performance management from Oracle to discover new ays to strategize, optimize operations, and capture new opportunities for success. Through a custom analytics dashboard, S. H. I.E. L. D. gains insights into all aspects of the operation and can initiate actions that keep humankind safe from threats— terrestrial and extraterrestrial.

Storage
With international jurisdiction
comes an international volume
of data, all of which needs to
be securely stored, backed
up, and archived. S.H.I.E.L.D.
depends on Oracle’s Sun ZFS
Storage for hot backup and
network-attached storage
(NAS), Pillar Axiom for
storage-area network (SAN)
storage, and Storage Tek
tape libraries and drives for
backup and archiving. Storage
includes
• Sun ZFS Storage 7420
appliance
• Pillar Axiom 600
Storage Tek SL8500
modular library system
tape libraries and drives for
Exalytics In-Memory Machine X2-4
When assessing threats, S.H.I.E.L.D. must
quickly draw actionable insights from massive
amounts of data. Oracle Exalytics’ advanced data
visualization and exploration get the job done.
