Sabalcore Selected by Analytical Services, Inc. to Design Aerospike Nozzles for Next Generation Missil

ORLANDO - Sabalcore, a provider of high performance computer (HPC) on-demand services, was selected by Analytical Services, Inc. (ASI), a U.S. Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency subcontractor, to design aerospike nozzles for future missile systems. Aerospike nozzles have a significant performance advantage over traditional bell nozzles. As enemies of the United States develop offensive weapons with more and more capability, future missile defense interceptors (like PAC-3, THAAD, etc.) will naturally be required to have more and more performance.

“Using Sabalcore's HPC on-demand services, ASI was able to access our powerful Linux clusters designed to quickly run compute intensive applications, including ASI's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application, while at the same time cutting costs significantly.” said John D. Van Workum, president at Sabalcore Computing, Inc.

“CFD is critical to our design efforts, which means that we cannot complete that design without Sabalcore’s Linux cluster. We, like many small businesses, cannot afford the luxury of buying and maintaining our own.” said Joseph Sims, Ph.D. technical director at Analytical Services, Inc.

“Without the Sabalcore Linux clusters available to us, we could not hope to support our design efforts with CFD running on a serial computer (e.g., a desktop workstation). Comparing the cost of buying access to Sabalcore clusters to buying, maintaining and replacing our own cluster is overwhelmingly in favor of Sabalcore. They truly represent a huge cost savings to us and to our customers.” said Sims.

Sabalcore is a client company of the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park.

Data Transfer Solutions Earns Contracts from Colorado DOT and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Nevada

ORLANDO - Data Transfer Solutions, LLC (DTS), based in Orlando’s Avalon Park, recently earned two contract awards from the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in Nevada.

A. M. “Trey” Fragala III, AICP, PMP, chief operating officer at DTS, said the Colorado DOT extended its contract with DTS for another year at an estimated value of $112,000.

New work for Colorado DOT includes a Data Access User Needs Study and maintenance of the Online Transportation Information System (OTIS) that DTS developed for Colorado DOT.

OTIS includes six different applications that supply transportation information in the form of maps, pictures, tables, and reports, Fragala explained.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency contract, valued at an estimated $50,000, includes work to enhance security, reporting and functionality of the Tahoe region’s Defensible Space Database, which includes the land area surrounding important structures such as communications towers and utilities.

“We are developing an online map viewer that will give planners a clear picture of the defensible areas they must protect in the event of wildfires,” Fragala explained.

“This information gives first responders the opportunity to stop fires from reaching important structures,” he said.
