INDOPACOM Mission Network (IMN)

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) was tasked with the critical mission of developing a standardized, trans-regional approach to facilitate seamless information sharing among the Regional Combatant Commands, global allies, and mission partners. This initiative aimed to address the complex challenge of ensuring secure and efficient communication across diverse and geographically dispersed entities.

A prime example of this need is the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), which required a robust and secure information-sharing infrastructure. This infrastructure was essential to enable real-time communication, collaboration, and decision-making among U.S. military personnel, interagency staff, and mission partners throughout the vast Pacific region. The goal was to create an environment where information could flow freely and securely, supporting coordinated efforts and strategic operations across multiple domains and jurisdictions.
By implementing such a system, DISA sought to enhance operational effectiveness, improve situational awareness, and foster stronger partnerships, ultimately contributing to the overall mission success of the United States and its allies.

SOSi revolutionized the information-sharing capabilities of the INDOPACOM by engineering and deploying the INDOPACOM Mission Network (IMN). This groundbreaking solution stands as the largest data-centric, zero trust information domain in operation within the Department of Defense (DoD).

By spearheading INDOPACOM’s transformation from static, network-based perimeters to a dynamic, zero trust architecture, SOSi dramatically enhanced the command’s ability to share information, collaborate effectively, and achieve seamless interoperability with mission partners. This shift not only fortified security but also empowered real-time decision-making and operational agility.

The IMN leverages a state-of-the-art hyper-converged infrastructure and a sophisticated private virtual cloud architecture. This innovative approach enabled SOSi to successfully integrate thousands of isolated and protected computing environments, applications, devices, and data entities. The result is a robust trans-regional data environment that ensures secure and efficient communication between the U.S. and its global allies.

Through this pioneering solution, SOSi has set a new standard for secure, collaborative, and interoperable mission networks, significantly bolstering the strategic capabilities of INDOPACOM and its mission partners across the vast Pacific region.
