Many of today's systems were built either as custom racks of computing and networking infrastructure to support specific functions or have been migrated to homogeneous computing clouds. Each platform was selected to serve a specific purpose, however, as technology advances and the type and volume of data increases, commercial and government customers are seeking a better solution. This research studied mission needs, data types, data speed, processing requirements, and potential automation. The proposed architecture has shown higher efficiency in terms of processing speed, reliability, and security. This research analyzes the options to create optimal solutions where automated data identification, steering, and data processing scheduling is done behind the scenes to deliver a better mission outcome. The optimal system is actually a System of Systems (SoS) that combines various compute, store, interconnect architectures, and technologies as well as software platforms to create an ideal environment for a diverse operational base.
