Comprehensive Data Access

It is increasingly difficult to gather information from multiple sources, a task that can prove critical in investigations and intelligence analysis. Data sources continue to multiply and information is generally disparate, inconsistently formatted and frequently incomplete. Valuable information is often isolated within departments, making it difficult to obtain or even discover.

iXa is an innovative solution that overcomes enterprise data access and sharing issues. It enables users to connect to and search a range of data sources via a single query across local or global networks.

One query can tap data sources located down the hall, across the country and around the world, regardless of how the data are organized. iXa supports leading security standards for authorization, authentication and encryption to ensure confident and secure data transmission. This makes it particularly well-suited to fusion centers.

With iXa, you can:

• Increase productivity with single sign-on/single-query access to a variety of information sources
• Conveniently access data sources on the Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Intranet and Internet
• Quickly create more comprehensive analytical products using a wider range of data sources: email servers, databases, applications and other Web services
• Retain full control of your data when participating in information sharing initiatives
• Benefit from power2 technology that optimizes the searching and collating of data from multiple sources, reducing errors of omission and leaving more time for analysis
• Visualize multi-source data in Analyst's Notebook, using the powerful analytic tools to quickly identify trends, patterns and associations

iXa Technology Schema i2 provides both iXa Search AN and iXa Web Services SDK. iXa Search AN allows users to search multiple disparate and distributed data sources via a single query from within Analyst's Notebook. iXa Web Services SDK allows IT specialists to create data servers capable of connecting Analyst's Notebook to multiple data sources via iXa Search AN.

With iXa, Analyst's Notebook users can efficiently gather all relevant information, regardless of where it is located or how it is stored.
