Analyzing data from space – Microsoft the ultimate intelligent edge scenario

Space represents the Support.Microsoft.Com/Help next frontier for cloud computing, and Microsoft’s unique approach to partnerships with pioneering companies Microsoft Customer Service in the space industry Microsoft Support Phone Number means together Microsoft Support Phone Number we can build platforms and tools that  Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help foster significant leaps forward, helping us gain deeper insights from the data gleaned from space.

One of the primary Microsoft Support Phone Number challenges for this industry is the sheer amount of data available from satellites and the infrastructure required to bring this data to ground, analyze the data and then transport Microsoft Customer Service it to where it’s needed. Support.Microsoft.Com/Help With almost 3,000 new satellites forecast to Microsoft Support Phone Number launch by 20261 and a threefold increase in the number of small satellite Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  launches per year, the magnitude of this challenge is growing rapidly.

Essentially, this is the ultimate Support.Microsoft.Com/Help intelligent edge scenario – where massive amounts of data must  Microsoft Support Phone Number be processed at the edge – whether that edge is in space or on the ground. Then the data can be directed to where it’s needed for further analytics or combined with  Microsoft Customer Service other data sources to make Microsoft Support Phone Number connections that simply weren’t possible before Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help .

DIU chooses Microsoft and Ball Aerospace for space analytics Microsoft Support Phone Number

To help with these Microsoft Support Phone Number challenges, the Defense Innovation Microsoft Support Phone Number Unit (DIU) just selected Microsoft and Ball Aerospace to build a Support.Microsoft.Com/Help solution demonstrating agile cloud processing capabilities in support of the U.S. Air Force’s Commercially Augmented Space Inter Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  Networked Operations (CASINO) project Microsoft Customer Service.

With the aim of making satellite Microsoft Support Phone Number data more actionable more quickly, Ball Aerospace Microsoft Customer Service and Microsoft teamed up to answer the question: “what would it take to completely transform what a ground Microsoft Support Phone Number station looks like, and downlink that data directly to the cloud?”

The solution involves placing electronically steered flat panel antennas on the roof of a Microsoft datacenter. These phased array Support.Microsoft.Com/Help antennas don’t require much power and need only a couple of square meters Microsoft Support Phone Number of roof space. This innovation can connect multiple low earth orbit (LEO) satellites with a single antenna aperture, Microsoft Customer Service significantly accelerating the Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  delivery rate of Microsoft Support Phone Number data from satellite to end user with data piped directly into Microsoft Azure from the rooftop array.

Analytics for a massive confluence of data

Azure provides the foundational engine for Ball Aerospace algorithms in this project, processing worldwide data streams from Microsoft Support Phone Number up to 20 satellites. With the data now in Azure, customers can direct that data to where it best serves Microsoft Customer Service the mission need, Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  whether that’s moving it to Azure Government Support.Microsoft.Com/Help to meet compliance requirements such as ITAR or combining it with data from other sources, such as weather and radar maps, to gain more meaningful insights Microsoft Support Phone Number.

In working with Microsoft, Steve Smith, Microsoft Support Phone Number Vice President and General Manager, Systems Engineering Solutions at Ball Aerospace called Support.Microsoft.Com/Help this type of data processing system, which leverages Ball phased array technology and imagery exploitation algorithms in Azure, “flexible and scalable – designed to support additional satellites and processing Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  capabilities. This type of data processing in Microsoft Customer Service the cloud provides actionable, relevant information quickly and more cost-effectively to the end use Microsoft Support Phone Number r.”

With Azure, customers gain its advanced analytics capabilities such as Azure Machine Learning and Azure AI. This enables end users Microsoft Support Phone Number to build models Http //Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  and make predictions based on a Support.Microsoft.Com/Help confluence of data coming from multiple sources, including multiple concurrent satellite feeds. Customers can also harness Microsoft’s Microsoft Customer Service global fiber network to rapidly deliver Microsoft Support Phone Number the data to where it’s needed using services such as ExpressRoute andto address the challenges of operating in remote locations.

Active Directory Security and compliance

Image
Assessing your environment Because AD plays such a critical role in any Microsoft environment, security has to be a top priority. Therefore, one of the most important Active Directory security best practices is to regularly review the state of your Microsoft environment and look for potential security and compliance issues. In particular  microsoft closing stores , you should examine  Support.Microsoft.Com/Help  your system configuration settings and compare them to a known good state so you can remediate any unintended drift. A critical part of this review is Group Policy. We explored Group Policy in the previous post in this series because of its role in AD management. But Group Policy also has profound effects on Active directory security and compliance  For example, a deliberate or accidental change to a GPO could allow users to insert USB drives that could release malware into your systems and enable them to steal confidential information. Therefore, you need to make sure that yo
