Department of Defense

TranTech, Inc. has chosen Virage to participate in the development of a visual information management system (VIMS) for the Department of Defense (DoD). The American Forces Information Service (AFIS), an element within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, awarded the multi-year contract to TranTech. Under this contract, TranTech has solicited best-of-breed vendors, such as Virage, to help in the development of the solution.

During the initial 210-day deployment, the VIMS solution will be utilized by the AFIS, the Defense Visual Information Center (DVIC), the Joint Combat Camera Center (JCCC), and the Joint Visual Information Services Distribution Activity (JVISDA). The initial deployment will establish a standardized digital asset repository for AFIS, DVIC, JCCC and JVISDA with an e-commerce payment system and digital rights management. The agencies will be able to process and store still images, video, audio, graphics and text documents in a centrally located, 20-terabyte repository that can grow to more than 100 terabytes. Upon successful completion of the initial deployment, the VIMS solution will be available to all DoD and Federal Government agencies.
