A software upgrade called Net-T effectively turns U.S. military aircraft into giant airborne wireless routers, allowing ground forces to share information with each other and with their allies overhead. According to an official , the Net-T (or network tactical) software, which has just completed testing with the 40th Flight Test Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, is an upgrade that can be applied to the LITENING and Sniper targeting systems—pods full of advanced cameras, sensors and communications equipment that can be carried by numerous U.S. Air Force planes. What Net-T provides, the Air Force said, is the ability for ground forces to share data with each other via the Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver 5 system, a small tablet that can be carried by troops in the field. Previously, ROVER-5 only allowed communication directly between troops on the ground and aircraft. Using Net-T, commanders on the ground can share video data, map coordinates, and a host of other information types without the use of traditional satellite or radio communication.

More companies are storing their data in the cloud as part of a hybrid onsite and offsite storage solution, but many admit they are not able to back up large chunks of their data at all. Research company Vanson Bourne surveyed 650 IT decision makers across the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany and the Netherlands, which highlighted the way cloud backup and storage is now seen as a key component of hybrid storage environments. Some 66 percent of those surveyed said they would increase the amount of data they store in the cloud by 2015. Among those already using hybrid storage systems, improved data security was cited as the reason why 66 percent moved from their old backup and recovery tools to onsite and offsite data protection. Some 57 percent said they preferred such a solution because their rapidly growing business critical data required protection against natural disaster and theft. But 24 percent of respondents admitted to not telling their CEOs they are not backing up all files, especially those on mobile devices. The survey found 38 percent worried about their data not being saved securely, or whether data had been backed up at all.
