Command Post of the Future BC13.2 Scalability Report

Abstract

The Command Post of the Future (CPOF) has been the U.S. Armys most widely used Command Post system over the past decade. The latest version of CPOF software includes a capability that allows it to scale to over 5,000 simultaneously concurrent users. This capability allows all 5,000 users to use the CPOF software at the same time, interacting on the same data cooperatively, sharing visualizations, map-boarding, and collaborating in real time. To test this capability, a large number of computers and hardware was required. This report describes the scalability test that exercised the capability to scale live collaboration across 5,000 users. This test required a great deal of both time and monetary resources. The test was successful, proving the scalability capability of the CPOF BC13.2 software.
