DARPA ERIS Awardable

Kinnami provides a Zero Trust secure resilient data mesh for data sharing at the computing edge called AmiShare™. AmiShare simplifies data availability, protection, and security for complex distributed systems and provides peer-to-peer data sharing critical to dynamic digital edge systems, including devices such as drones, satellites, robotics, IoT and many other autonomous systems. AmiShare data mesh operates even where networks may be unstable, or devices are air-gapped, and ensures data gets where it is needed on time using the best available resources.

Gartner predicts a dramatic shift in data processing, with 50% of enterprise data generated and processed at the edge by 2025, up from just 10% in 2018. As edge devices proliferate, organizations increasingly rely on edge computing. Unlike traditional data center-centric models, the edge presents unique challenges in data availability, security, and protection. To scale effectively, organizations want decentralized edge systems while maintaining centralized control. This requires zero-touch management, orchestration, and robust distributed data management. Additionally, tactical edge systems demand unwavering reliability and data accessibility, even when networks are disrupted. Kinnami AmiShare addresses these critical challenges.

“We’re thrilled to share that Kinnami’s pitch video on ‘Overcoming limitations of current sensing systems (SWaP-C, performance)’ has been deemed Awardable by the DARPA ERIS Marketplace,” said Sujeesh Krishnan, CEO of Kinnami. “It’s an honor to be recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the ERIS Marketplace for our innovation, scalability, and potential impact on DoD missions.”

Kinnami’s video, 1-25-0085 | Kinnami Software Corporation: Resilient Data Mesh for low SWaP Edge Platforms—Data Management-Protection-Security-Availability, accessible only by government customers on the DARPA ERIS Marketplace, presents an actual use case in which the company demonstrates AmiShare data mesh capabilities and shows peer-to-peer data sharing where networks may be unstable and devices are air-gapped, and ensures data availability using the best available resources.

Kinnami was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the ERIS Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation and potential impact on DoD missions. Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create an ERIS Marketplace account at www.darpaconnect.us/eris.
