> About FusionNet

FusionNet is a distributed system deployed by the US Army to disseminate ground truth intelligence and unit management information throughout the battlefield. It is associated with the Horizontal Fusion program which was established after the 9/11 attacks. Before FusionNet, battlefield event information was scattered among numerous US Army systems and databases. After testing several replication technologies, the US Army and Systems Integrator CCIS chose DataXtend RE. Progress® DataXtend™ RE was the only replication technology that could complete the test in the most extreme conditions. In addition, DataXtend offered flexible deployment topologies, including peer-to-peer, hub-and-spoke, and cloud-and-spoke. This was in stark contrast to alternative technologies that enforced strict master-slave or publisher-subscriber topologies.
