Systems and Software Architecture

 

HorizonWave supports the analysis, selection, installation, testing, configuration, and management of both custom and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications.  Our engineers and administrators know how to build and manage enterprise-class systems to ensure that your operation runs smoothly. Our toolkit includes enterprise application monitoring and alerting, adherence to service level agreements, and capacity planning, failover, and system redundancy for continuity of operations (COOP).

 

 

Application Development

 

Our software engineers are expert in all phases of full lifecycle methodologies, including agile, spiral, and waterfall methodologies used in the context of DoD 5000 series guidelines. This includes project management, software architecture, requirements analysis, design, development, testing, performance tuning, and production deployment. HorizonWave successfully combines proven development methodologies with expertise in today’s most advanced computing technologies and Java/J2EE frameworks including Struts, Spring, JSF, XML, SOAP and RESTful web services, and messaging to deliver high performance, enterprise-class IT solutions.

 

 

Database Development

 

Virtually every software application or system in the world exists for a single purpose – the storage, manipulation, and redistribution of data. Applications distribution technology continues to evolve, creating ever-growing demands on the database tier. A poorly performing database can degrade even the fastest application trying to leverage it. In addition, a poorly designed database schema can increase development time, degrade system performance, and introduce serious maintenance problems down the road. Our specific database services include data modeling, architecture, schema design, data integrity, performance tuning, development and integration. HorizonWave can engineer high-powered database solutions to meet your mission-critical information needs.
