SN-Sphere™

 

SN-Sphere™ is one of the most powerful software systems commercially available for creating effective intelligence related to networks (associations of people and organizations working together in a particular context). Svivot has used SN-Sphere to build a variety of practical intelligence solutions used in public and commercial agencies and organizations.

SN-Sphere network analysis provides answers to questions like: Who is involved? How is it structured? How and where does it operate? What are its behaviour trends? What are the changes over time? and other intelligence relevant to the networks. It can also expose and score networks that fit profiles of suspicious attributes from massive amounts of data even when none of the members of the network have been previously identified.

SN-Sphere is a suite of components and technologies which can be integrated together in a variety of ways to provide specific solutions. It includes:

ETL Framework - integrates heterogeneous types of link support information (LSI) from multiple sources in preparation for effective information sharing and analysis

Network Analysis Server (NAS) - provides analysis capabilities and database access to other SN-Sphere components as well as to third party clients

LSI Designer - provides semantic and logical layers for use by SN-Sphere and other applications to build specific analysis solutions

PreStar™ - pre-processes data into a structure which allows link analysis to be completed in a short amount of time even when using massive amounts of data

Models Manager – allows users to dynamically build analysis models

Database Layer - SN-Sphere uses an Oracle database for its internal database repository. No data needs to be stored on local workstations. This increases security and makes backups easier and more reliable. The system is capable of using data stored in other types of databases for analysis and queries. Under certain circumstances, it is possible to request that the system use a different type of internal database instead of Oracle.

Svivot has accumulated comprehensive field experience in implementing intelligence solutions. This experience has spearheaded the development of our unique and proprietary technology to provide critical advantages over other systems:

  • Greater quantities and types of data analyzed in less time - link analysis of billions of records in a short time

  • Deeper analysis – smarter inference engine for more effective network analysis

  • Enhanced functionality – exposure and tracking of networks

  • More flexibility – user defined sophisticated network analysis models

  • Better teamwork collaboration – environment for multiple users to add, store, compartmentalize, retrieve, share, collate, analyze and disseminate any type of information

  • Lower cost of ownership – Expansion of the system capabilities and scope can be achieved by an easy-to-implement process
