Criteria description: AIS, Inc. is a small business located in upstate New York focused on cyber security primarily in government opportunities. AIS, Inc. has
two primary Xen based products. The first is called SecureView which is a secure workstation developed by AIS, Inc. for the Air Force Research Laboratory. SecureView is based on the XenClient solution developed originally by XenSource and later transitioned
to Citrix Systems. SecureView is a fully accredited Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) platform that is deployed to over 14 DoD and Intelligence communities. As the primary developer of this product and the classification levels that the platform
installed at requires that AIS, Inc. receive as early notice of vulnerabilities that might impact national security systems running on the SecureView platform.
In August of 2014 AIS, Inc. entered into a business transaction with Citrix for transition and purchase of their XenClientXT (XCXT) product line. As of March 7th
of 2015 that transaction was completed and AIS, Inc. is now the owner and license holder of the XCXT Product. See attached document (confidential) titled
“FINAL AIS_Citrix_Asset_Purchase_Agreement”. There has not as of yet been an official public release of this transition due to restrictions in the binding agreement. For more information on SecureView capabilities visit the SecureView main page below.
Note: SecureView is considered a government solution and is not commercially sold at this time, AIS, Inc. has received authorization to commercialize a “lite” version of the solution and that IRaD project is ongoing.

open-source related projects: The current deployed SecureView platform uses the Citrix XenClient product as the underlying hypervisor. On July 30th, 2015 AIS,
Inc. released a new version of SecureView (2.1) to AFRL that will replace the XenClient 3.2 product with Citrix open sourced OpenXT hypervisor. This product is currently going through certification, testing and evaluation (CT&E) with the government accreditation
authorities and planned for operation use by Dec 2015. AIS is the largest contributor at this time the OpenXT community with more than 15 full time contributors. For more information on OpenXT please visit:
http://openxt.org/
Evidence of Xen user/distributor: SecureView is considered a government off the shelf solution (GOTS) based on commercial software (XenClient). The final SecureView
platform is listed on the Unified Cross Domain Management Office and is considered export controlled and therefore can not be made available for public download. Requests for the software must be handled directly. OpenXT is an open source project and available
for public download at http://openxt.org/. Development is hosted on
Github, Jira, and within google groups.
