Ironhawk was founded in 1999 under the name Integrated Data Corporation (IDC). Our original mission was to help enterprises manage and distribute large amounts of data in limited bandwidth environments.

In March, 2009, IDC changed its corporate name to Ironhawk Technologies, Inc., adding a new corporate tagline: “Delivering Decision Critical Data.” Our new name reflects our expanded mission and represents the strength, robustness and security of our solutions, as well as our increased focus on speed that enables intelligent decision making in the theater of operations.

Concurrently, to reflect our growth, we moved to a new corporate headquarters in Los Angeles. This location comes fully equipped with a functional demonstration lab linked via various modes of satellite connections to several of our other Government-sponsored labs. This will enable us to service several of our current U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contracts requiring us to demonstrate the distribution, via satellite, of critical data to remote locations.

The mission of Ironhawk is to deliver decision critical data throughout the last tactical mile to the tip of the sword over narrow band satellite communication networks. We count as our biggest customers major branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and several of the largest defense contractors and lead system integrators.

David A. GomesAt Ironhawk, the cornerstone of our philosophy is that actionable information must be placed in the hands of people who can take action, not kept in the hands of programmers or sitting on servers.

We understand that, whether the battlefield is military or corporate, instantaneous global transmission of critical information confers a significant competitive advantage on its recipient. The challenge, however, is that data continues to grow exponentially, while bandwidth grows linearly or is constrained by operational factors.

To this end, we have created an advanced technology solution – the
Ironhawk SmartSync® DCS Platform – which optimizes the mobility of data in narrow band satellite communication network environments.

Through content management, compression and transport innovations, the Ironhawk SmartSync DCS (Decision Critical Software) Platform reduces storage requirements 20-fold and bandwidth requirements 50-fold. In conjunction with our custom engineering and services division, this enables mil-spec transport of data to multiple locations in the global theater, putting the most crucial information immediately into the hands of the commanders, decision-makers and automated systems capable of rationally acting on it.
