Drive array subsystem supplier Dot Hill has been chosen by the C4 Systems business unit of General Dynamics to supply technology for a conduction-cooled RAID controller storage module for the US Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) program's Integrated Computer System (ICS).

The FCS is a family of advanced, networked air- and ground-based military systems for use by the US Army's Future Forces.

The ICS system will provide computer processing, networking, information assurance, and data storage resources necessary to support the network-centric operations of FCS.

Cooper Cowart, worldwide marketing VP for Dot Hill, said: "We are proud to support General Dynamics C4 Systems and the U.S. Army. Dot Hill storage solutions offer the ruggedness, performance, and scalability needed to withstand arduous mission-critical operating environments - in this case, the battlefield - where failure is not an option."

Under the terms of the contract, Dot Hill's Rapid Evolution (R/EvolutionT) RAID-based architecture will be used to meet the FCS data and networking performance and reliability needs.
