ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY, www.mrcy.com), a leader in trusted, secure mission-critical technologies for aerospace and defense, today announced the new Rugged Data Storage (RDS) system. The data center-class, all-flash network-attached storage (NAS) system is ruggedized for mission-critical aerospace, defense, and commercial edge applications and is designed for low-latency, scalability, and security. Developed in collaboration with VAST Data Federal, RDS changes the paradigm for enterprise storage with a universal, single-tier flash cloud for all types of data that eliminates bottlenecks and complex storage tiering traditionally done with hard disk drives and other media.

Why It Matters: The proliferation of sensors like radar and image capture have resulted in an explosion of data that is difficult to store, access, or analyze in real-time on conventional hard disk or flash drives. RDS’s universal data storage approach enables fast, secure access to big data and AI and machine learning-powered exploitation at the edge, so users can make critical decisions quickly.

RDS utilizes commercial flash technology coupled with unique software algorithms from VAST Data to extend write endurance to 10+ years, as well as reduce disk space requirements via innovative data reduction and compression capabilities that lower total cost of ownership for Mercury customers. Optimized for size, weight, and power-constrained rugged environments such as aircraft, ships, ground radar stations, and industrial applications, Mercury’s RDS system improves performance, ease of serviceability, and data protection at the edge.

“Our new Rugged Data Storage system is purpose-built for mission-critical, extended operational environments,” said Dusty Kramer, Vice President, Mercury Edge. “This is the first ruggedized solution that puts scalable, multi-petabyte, all-flash data storage next to the data source for edge-based, real-time applications like advanced threat detection and sensor fusion, demonstrating our commitment to putting cutting-edge innovation in the hands of our customers.”

“We’re excited to extend our revolutionary Universal Storage software to Mercury’s innovative RDS system to allow military and aerospace users access to all their data at any time for real-time, mission-critical decisions,” said Randy Hayes, Vice President, Public Sector of VAST Data Federal. “These all-flash, network-attached storage solutions are a testament to our deep collaboration with Mercury and commitment to placing software at the heart of modern data infrastructure.”

As anyone who's been a patron of McDonald's for any number of years can tell you, the brand has had great success with celebrity collaborations. At the time, Michael Jordan's celebrity was riding a tidal wave, and anything associated with the athlete was guaranteed to leave people starry-eyed. It took the fast food chain some time to unveil another collab named after a celebrity -- 2020, to be exact -- with the Travis Scott meal, which the American rapper got paid $20 million to do.

The negotiations, which were occurring in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, were ahead of a 12:01 a.m. Thursday expiration date.

Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, bought its first shares of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) in Q1 2016. After selling some of its shares through 2020, Berkshire reignited a buying spree of its favorite stock in 2022. At the end of Q2 2022, Berkshire owned 895 million Apple shares, making up nearly 43% of the company's stock portfolio.

Is T-Mobile, as a corporate entity, lonely or something? Because the company is acting like it really, really needs new friends at the moment. The competition for new cell-phone and smartphone users has been escalating lately, as the base of potential new customers has seen an uptick in the past few years, and that's largely thanks to T-Mobile .

Apple Inc.'s coming iPhone 14 lineup might not bring too many new features, but there could be one big change in store.

Apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro display could include parts that are blacked out, according to a late rumour. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are said to lose the “notch” that has defined the top of Apple’s handsets for years. The bits of display that are between the two will be blacked out, making it look as if they are joined up.

Get ready for some major upgrades to the iPhone and Apple Watch lineup at Apple's "Far Out" event next week.

Security door and lock maker Allegion (NYSE: ALLE) and industrial conglomerates Honeywell International (NASDAQ: HON) and Roper Technologies (NYSE: ROP) are not the first companies that spring to investors' minds when thinking about technology companies. The industrial giant's management intends to become a "software industrial". It wants to get there by the continued rollout of its analytical software platform, Honeywell Forge.

"While consumer IT hardware spending has been reported to be very weak, from our vantage point, infrastructure spend is still very much holding," said CEO Hock Tan.

Now Apple has released a new version of iOS 12, the most recent update for those phones, that fixes the problem. It is the first time in a year that Apple has pushed an update for that operating system, demonstrating the danger and potential effects of the security issue. What’s more, Apple has said that the security problem may already have been exploited by attackers, leading experts to urge that the update is installed as soon as possible.

There’s a new, super-fast, version of USB 4 on the horizon and you won’t even have to buy a brand new cable to take advantage of it.

The United States beefed up its effort to cut off the flow of advanced technology to China by instructing Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices to stop sending their flagship artificial intelligence chips there. While the news shocked the chip sector by the time markets closed Thursday, sending the Philadelphia semiconductor index down 1.9% and Nvidia and AMD down 7.6% and 3% respectively, the letters from the U.S. officials appeared to target a narrow but critical part of China's computing industry. The regulations appear to focus on chips called GPUs with the most powerful computing capabilities, a critical but niche market with only two meaningful players, Nvidia and AMD.

Apple could see a huge profit tailwind if it jacks up the price of its coming iPhone, reasons one top analyst.

Apple is holding perhaps its biggest event of the year, revealing the iPhone 14, new Watches and more. Apple has now confirmed when exactly the reveal will take place. The release dates will not be revealed until later, but there is plenty of information to make a good guess about when the new iPhones will be released.

Nvidia, the world's largest maker of artificial intelligence chips, is at the heart of a new round of U.S. tech sanctions targeting China. Nvidia noted in an SEC filing that the U.S. government had imposed new export restrictions on two of its most advanced AI chips to China, its second-largest market after Taiwan, making up 26% of its revenues in 2021. The ban could cost Nvidia as much as $400 million in potential sales to China in the third quarter, the firm said.
