The U.S. Army Research Laboratory recently opened its new Army Cyber-research Analytics Laboratory (ACAL). The facility provides industrial and federally-funded partners, including universities, access to highly-sensitive live cyber-security data. The ACAL currently houses three distributed computation clusters, the largest of which is configured with over two petabytes of raw storage, over 20 terabytes of RAM, over 1,500 CPU cores and 10- to 40-gigabyte networking. Researchers will be able to access the laboratory physically or remotely. The ACAL will also be used for personnel training, product integration, systems engineering, and integrated testing using real-world data.
