Thales Launches Defense Cloud Solution for Armed Forces

At Eurosatory 2018, Thales is launching Nexium Defence Cloud – the first comprehensive private cloud infrastructure solution to improve the operational efficiency of the armed forces.

The cloud solutions in use today for civil applications are not appropriate for deployed forces. They require unlimited bandwidth that armed forces do not have in the field. The Thales Defense Cloud is a sovereign solution designed for constrained environments, enabling deployed forces to conduct their missions in total autonomy in the theatre of operations.

Thales proposes a complete solution including secure, end-to-end hosting of data and applications. Users ranging from commanders in the home country to units deployed in theatres of operation can access data in complete privacy in a dedicated environment that takes full benefit of Thales’s cybersecurity expertise. The Nexium Defence Cloud solution is both comprehensive and modular.

 “Thales is bringing to armed forces its expertise in secure, interoperable information and telecommunication systems, combined with world-class capabilities in the key digital technologies of connectivity and IoT, Big Data, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity,” says Marc Darmon, Thales EVP, Secure Communications and Information Systems. “With Nexium Defence Cloud, Thales is expanding the armed forces’ arsenal with a new digital power that allows them to make decisions quickly and efficiently in real time at each decisive moment.”
