New Zealand Defence Force consists of the Royal New Zealand Navy, the New Zealand Army and the Royal New Zealand Air Force. It is commanded and headed by the Chief of Defence Force. The main mission of New Zealand Defence Force is “to secure New Zealand against external threat, to protect our sovereign interests, including the Exclusive Economic Zone, and to take action to meet likely contingencies in New Zealand’s are of strategic interest.”

The Government’s defence policy is set out in the Defence White Paper published in November 2010. The White Paper sets the overall direction for Defence for the next 25 years. Fundamental to the White Paper is a commitment to maintaining a Defence Force that is able to deliver the range of policy outcomes expected of it. Every hour of every day, 365 days a year, the New Zealand Defence Force is contributing to the defence, security and well-being of Aotearoa/New Zealand. They work in partnership with many other government agencies helping people and protecting their territory and their oceans.

New Zealand Defence Force contacted DiGiCOR upon their interest for secure storage solution to maintain defence files and database files.



Highlights

  • The New Zealand Defence Force required a highly effective solution to handle and process highly sensitive defence files and database files with utmost security.
  • The environment required the solution to be on an isolated network with multiple VM nodes accessing the database.
  • DiGiCOR came to the Defence Force’s aid and analysed their requirements. We suggested a solution based on the NexentaStor solution with DiGiCOR HA capabilities.
  • Key Benefits

  • Highly Scalable Solution
  • Our solution was half the quoted pricing of competitors.
  • Secure Storage for Database
  • Challenges

    The Information Department of New Zealand Defence Force seeked a storage solution to cover their very important defence files and database files, which need to be kept on high security. It also needs to be kept on an isolated network. The current system has multiple VM nodes accessing the database. The solution they had was not coming up to their expectations as they wanted a cost-effective and reliable solution with a high-level of redundancy.
    Therefore, DiGiCOR was at New Zealand Defence Force service to create and implement a solution to overcome the government institution’s challenges.

    DiGiCOR came to the Defence Force’s aid and analysed the requirements. We suggested our NexentaStor solution with HA capability on Digicor solutions.
