Accommodate any new TOCs added to the network on the spot without intervention by technical personnel. The infrastructure that evolved was one that was easily adaptable to battlefield scenarios and could also withstand partial failure or destruction of critical battlefield applications. The Jini technology configuration that evolved to meet the Army's needs included the Jini service infrastructure, which allowed the abstracting of traditional computing devices as Java service objects, making interoperability easier. The ability to obtain information from various applications and include multiple hardware and software platforms and devices into a TOC configuration. The highly flexible configuration allows services to run on unplanned hardware and achieve high levels of interoperability.
System administration is less complicated because of little or no apriori configuration.
Singular access to TOC services through a TOC portal provides the ability to monitor and track access to the TOC, enables users to log into the TOC almost at once and maintains a live cache of critical TOC services available to clients of the portal. With the help of Sun Microsystems, the Jini technology implementation for the US Army provided ROI results that included increased TOC mobility, reduced system administration costs and faster decision times as well as a reduction in development time and money.
