Sentinel – cross domain IT monitoring and management

Sentinel is the first off-the-shelf cross domain solution for centralised, global IT monitoring and management. Sentinel integrates with SolarWinds® Enterprise Operations Console (EOC) to enable a single display, high side view of the interface based on data aggregated from multiple SolarWinds servers at different classification levels. The solution provides improved awareness, decision making and shortened reaction time.

Unity – cross domain email and calendar

Unity is a SmartXD email and calendar application that integrates with Microsoft Exchange to provide a unified view of inboxes, calendars, contacts and tasks across multiple networks. Users have full email and calendar capabilities across the domains. They can also read, save and interact with attachments without copy, filter or transfer through a data guard. The UI is based on the familiar Outlook Web Access (OWA) user interface and can be accessed from any browser.

Discover – cross domain enterprise search

Discover is a SmartXD search application that provides users with a unified interface to search, view search results and access search content across multiple networks at different classification levels. Discover provides a familiar interface that resembles standard search applications such as Google Search. Discover can be integrated with multiple content repositories on multiple security domains and return results with more than 200 different file types, keeping all content on the originating network.

SmartXD architecture

SmartXD applications are designed using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Model and are deployed as secure software appliances (VM) in each domain. Key architecture elements include:

• Integration points – with systems, databases and tagged data to request data and actions
• Data processing – to merge, filter, trigger actions and package XML for cross domain transfer
• User interface – to present information and handle user interaction
• Orchestration – to initiate SOA actions
• XML schema – defines the application cross domain SOA communications
