Rugged networked-attached data storage for secure mission-critical defense applications offered by Mercury
ANDOVER, Mass. – Mercury Systems Inc. in Andover, Mass., is introducing Rugged Data Storage (RDS) network-attached storage (NAS) system for mission-critical aerospace, defense, and commercial edge applications that require low-latency, scalability, and security.
Developed with VAST Data Federal Inc. in Vienna, Va., RDS is a universal single-tier flash cloud for all types of data that can ease data bottlenecks, and offers complex storage tiering traditionally done with hard disk drives and other data storage media.
The RDS universal data storage approach enables fast, secure access to big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning-powered exploitation at the edge, so users can make critical decisions quickly.
RDS uses commercial flash technology and software algorithms from VAST Data to extend write endurance to more than years, and reduces disk space with data reduction and compression.
The RDS is optimized for size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained rugged environments such as aircraft, ships, ground radar stations, and industrial applications.
The RDS uses high-speed NVMe data storage, offers DPU network acceleration, and has short-depth storage boxes (D-BOX), compute boxes (C-BOX), and network switch boxes to scale performance or storage capacity. It meets MIL-STD-810 for ruggedization and has integrated FIPS 140-2 security for trusted computing.
