GES System is the most advanced open architecture system focusing on interoperability and quality of services and this system is joint work efforts of DoD Joint Staff, Assistant Secretary of Defense Networks and Information Infrastructure and DISA. This system is not for special governmental system, but the objectives, architecture, design concept of this system would be valuable and helpful for enterprise users.
