MOVE Tech Talk - May 2023 - Distributable Emergency Network (DEN)
With the rise of cloud-based and managed services, public safety agencies responsible for emergency operations have struggled to advance technologically without sacrificing reliability and redundancy. DEN (Distributable Emergency Network) is a solution that allows public safety agencies and other approved organizations to operate a fully managed IT infrastructure in austere environments with or without an Internet connection. We will discuss the difference between daily IT operations and disaster IT operations and why it was necessary to build the "Black Cloud".
