IBM and Mississippi officials announced last week the initial deployment of the state's new Automated System Project (ASP), which is designed to provide real-time information to law enforcement officials by linking them and other public safety agencies in a single database. Each centralized data center network will consist of one IBM eServer iSeries 825 and two eServer xSeries 445 systems running Tarantella Secure Global Desktop Enterprise Edition remote access software, Novell's SUSE Linux and IBM's DB2. The data center will be linked to an identical data center at a separate location to provide redundancy and guarantee that there's no single point of failure, according to Jay Bretzman, director of eServer xSeries products at IBM. When complete, the project will provide mobile units with real-time access to all available public safety information, including mug shots, arrest warrants, criminal intelligence, hazardous materials data and medical emergency protocols -- data that Bretzman said will enhance officials' ability to prevent and respond to incidents that pose a danger to the public. "It is critical that all of our first responders have instant access to the critical information that can save lives, speed arrests and ensure public safety," Maj. Julian Allen, ASP's director, said in a statement. The initial deployment will tie together three sheriff's departments, 10 police departments, 15 fire departments and two EMS providers within three coastal counties in Mississippi, Bretzman said. |
