Information sharing is a priority across the defense and intelligence communities, and the primary mechanism for information sharing is mail and messaging. However, current mail and messaging systems are not optimized around the needs of these two communities:
1. Commercial mail and messaging products do not have the necessary data integration and content controls for attribute-based information sharing involving complex policies.
2. Existing custom messaging systems often predate the web era, and have architectures that do not support SOA, coupled to interfaces that cannot compete with consumer web 2.0 applications.
In addition, both COTS and custom mail and messaging systems are single-domain. Users from different parts of the defense and intelligence communities can become isolated in ‘domain pools’ with little interconnectivity. At the same time, many users must contend with multiple inboxes for mail and messaging, accessed through separate interfaces.
BlueSpace TransMail Trusted Edition is the first truly multi-level mail and messaging tool that supports a unified enterprise policy and a single interface for the end user. It does this by leveraging the BlueSpace Trusted Client Framework, Solaris 10 Trusted Extensions and the Sun Ray multi-level desktop.
