LONDON (PRWEB)

StorageOS has released V2.0 of its leading cloud native, software-defined, persistent storage for Kubernetes into general availability. Delivering reduced time to recovery, scale, security and performance. StorageOS V2.0 has been designed for organisations that want to run hyper-converged and/or multiple cluster Kubernetes environments with the underlying storage to support cloud native workflows and stateful applications.

StorageOS platform provides the availability, management, performance and security for users to run stateful workloads at scale – whether in the cloud, on-premises or a hybrid. By delivering persistent storage to applications in Kubernetes environments, it helps users achieve all the business benefits of containers and orchestrators. Kubernetes users running deployments with multiple clusters are increasingly turning to StorageOS for their storage requirements. As Kubernetes clusters grow in size V2.0 also scales supporting the production of stateful applications.

“All reports point to the fact that enterprises are making the move to containers, but that storage is still viewed as a key challenge impacting adoption and operations,” commented Scott D. Lowe, ActualTech Media. “Users want to run hyperconverged applications and/or multi-cluster Kubernetes environments with the underlying storage to support cloud native workflows and stateful applications. StorageOS’ V2.0 has all the enhancements needed to meet these trends in the rapidly-evolving Kubernetes market. Essentially, StorageOS eliminates the problem with storage for stateful Kubernetes applications.”

StorageOS V2.0 improves resiliency in large clustered environments that experience more transient failures. Its scalable architecture is designed to cope with unpredictable failure scenarios whereas traditional storage solutions cannot handle the complexity of clustered deployments at scale.

V2.0 is designed from the ground up to enable security at every layer of the stack, improving security with encryption in transit. Traffic between nodes is encrypted and authenticated.

StorageOS integrates with Kubernetes CSI and allows storage to be declarative so users can deploy and provision storage resources and services alongside CPU, networking and other application resources.

“Kubernetes users working with increasingly complex deployments require storage that delivers predictability for replication and failover,” commented Alex Chircop, Founder and CEO at StorageOS. “Users are also deploying more mature Kubernetes environments resulting in a need for production-grade storage. StorageOS V2.0 is ideally suited to these requirements and we are already seeing significant demand across a range of organisations and markets.”

Download and register for the forever free developer edition of StorageOS V2.0 with 5TB here. Users can then upgrade to the Project and Platform editions enabling enterprise capabilities and comprehensive product support.

About StorageOS

StorageOS is a software-defined cloud native storage platform delivering persistent storage for Kubernetes. StorageOS is built from the ground-up with no legacy restrictions to give enterprises working with cloud native workloads a scalable storage platform with no compromise on performance, availability or security.

“By utilizing the iDirect Evolution platform and iQ 200, we can now offer a unique low footprint, low power and high capacity return links from any remote location, enabling users to enter new markets and facilitate new applications,” said Tsachi Dahan, VP of Vertical Solutions at Spacecom


HERNDON, Va., and RAMAT-GAN, Israel (PRWEB)

ST Engineering iDirect, a company of ST Engineering North America, and its long-term partner, Spacecom (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: SCC), operator of the AMOS satellite fleet, today announced the successful demonstration of VSAT return capabilities on AMOS-17.

The demonstration resulted in an exceptionally wide return link for a small VSAT of 40Mbps using the iDirect iQ 200 modem’s Adaptive TDMA return over AMOS-17’s high power C-band HTS beams. The combination of the 2.4m C-Band terminal and AMOS-17’s high-performance beams generated a highly efficient solution. The large return data rate enabled simultaneous transmission of multiple high data streams from South Africa to Europe with a small antenna, resulting in the low-power Communications-on-the-Pause (COTP) solution. This opens up many operational and business opportunities to customers, such as emergency deployments, government applications, coverage of events and backhaul services.

Conducted from the UK-based SMS Teleport, an AMOS-17 European Gateway partner, the modem and antenna were installed in a communications truck located between Johannesburg and Pretoria, South Africa. The truck was provided by Telemedia, a leading provider of broadcast and teleport services across Africa.

The iQ 200 is a DVB-S2/DVB-S2X modem with Adaptive TDMA returns, combining high-performance features with mobility, making it an ideal solution for real-time, cost-effective, small to medium enterprise applications, such as IP trunking for disaster response and emergency services as well as mobility solutions such as maritime.

“By utilizing the iDirect Evolution platform and iQ 200, we can now offer a unique low footprint, low power and high capacity return links from any remote location, enabling users to enter new markets and facilitate new applications,” said Tsachi Dahan, VP of Vertical Solutions at Spacecom. “AMOS-17’s C-Band spot beams provide superior throughput and efficiencies over Sub-Saharan Africa with connections to Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia. We look forward to presenting this unique value proposition to our customers brought about by this combination of satellite and ground segment.”

“We are excited to be involved in this important demonstration that brings out the greater potential of combining the right ground segment and high throughput satellite capacity,” commented Jerome Clapisson, Regional Vice President of Sales, Europe at ST Engineering iDirect. “This opens up a whole new array of applications for users that span many different applications and markets, and is synonymous with our goal of expanding market access to our customers by setting an industry benchmark in performance and efficiency.”

The solution is available to AMOS Spacecom customers today.

Palma Ceia SemiDesign Tapes Out 802.11ax Transceiver for Wi-Fi 6

Leave a comment


Palma Ceia SemiDesign

Palma Ceia SemiDesign

“This IP, our first for Wi-Fi 6, will be critical as we broaden our wireless chip offerings. It’s an industry-leading, 20-mhz, single-chip RF transceiver that will take advantage of the increased speed Wi-Fi 6 allows.” – Roy E. Jewell, CEO, Palma Ceia SemiDesign


SANTA CLARA, Calif. (PRWEB)

Palma Ceia SemiDesign, a provider of next-generation wireless connectivity solutions, today announced it has completed an RF transceiver supporting 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6. Palma Ceia’s Wi-Fi 6 RF transceiver tape-out is a notable milestone toward launching a new product offering later this year, greatly expanding applications for products requiring Wi-Fi connectivity.

“This IP, our first for Wi-Fi 6, will be critical as we broaden our wireless chip offerings,” said Roy E. Jewell, chief executive officer of Palma Ceia SemiDesign. “It’s an industry-leading, 20-mhz, single-chip RF transceiver that will take advantage of the increased speed Wi-Fi 6 allows.”

Wi-Fi 6, the Wi-Fi Alliance’s designation for 802.11ax, is the newest version of the 802.11 standard for wireless network transmissions commonly referred to as Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi 6 is backward-compatible with the previous version of the Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac.

“Given how the rate of adoption of next-generation wireless connectivity has accelerated, we expect our customers will quickly find very creative applications using this new Wi-Fi 6 offering to enhance the productivity of their employees and their customers,” Jewell said.

Advantages of Wi-Fi 6

The transition to 802.11ax from 802.11ac and earlier Wi-Fi standards delivers multiple advantages, including a much higher theoretical maximum speed of 9.6 Gbps, compared to 3.5 Gbps in 802.11ac, and Orthogonal Frequency Domain Multiple Access (OFDMA), a method for encoding digital data for wireless transmission.

“Along with the speed advantage, the introduction of OFDMA technology allows routers to communicate with multiple Wi-Fi devices simultaneously, thereby reducing the negative impacts of high station density within a single network,” said James E. Flowers, co-founder and chief operating officer of Palma Ceia. “Even as more devices demand data, the connections will remain robust. Taped out for a TSMC 28nm process, the new transceiver, optimized for minimum power operation, expands the company’s offering into the Wi-Fi 6 generation.

“By virtue of targeted wake time and dual-carrier modulation, major power savings and enhanced operating distance will deliver better performance for IoT devices that do not need to operate continuously, such as long-range sensors using daily or weekly communications,” Flowers said.

Applications

Environments where the superior speed and other operating advantages are expected to be readily received include:

  • Large public venues

  • Transportation hubs

  • Smart cities and factories

  • Campus and university environments

  • Home offices

  • Smart homes

In addition, Palma Ceia SemiDesign offers HaLow and NB-IOT products targeting many of these same applications, and their need to operate under battery power for 10 years or more.

Availability

Performance and characterization data for the PCS Wi-Fi 6 radio will be available in June 2020. Contact information is available on the Palma Ceia SemiDesign website.

Quince Imaging Supports Overhaul of Historic Conmy Hall with 144’ LED Wall

Leave a comment


The robust new system includes LED & projection displays, a broadcast switching system, high resolution screen control, modernized fiber interfaces for mobile video trucks, as well as unified control systems for simplified day-to-day operations.

The key part of the Conmy Hall overhaul was the installation of a state-of-the-art 144’ LED video wall by Quince Imaging.

“The video systems integration wasn’t just about technology . . . but the ability to work with different partners, demanding stakeholders and the idiosyncrasies of an historic structure, coupled with the ability to course correct in real time, made them superstars on this project.”


STERLING, Va. (PRWEB)

Quince Imaging, leader in experiential display designs, is proud to be part of the team that delivered an audiovisual renovation of the 35,000 square-foot Conmy Hall, one of the most historic structures at Fort Myer in suburban Washington, DC. This premier indoor ceremonial and special events space is used for the United States Army, The White House and the Department of Defense for a host of important ceremonies and presentations. The key part of the overhaul was the installation of a state-of-the-art 144’ LED video wall by Quince Imaging.

The renovation project, which began in October 2019, was primed by The Bridge Group, with Quince Imaging selected as the prime video systems integrator. The Quince team, with their extensive experience in large format displays, was tasked with designing, engineering, and installing a robust new system which includes LED & projection displays, a broadcast switching system, high resolution screen control, modernized fiber interfaces for mobile video trucks, as well as unified control systems for simplified day-to-day operations. The control system allows for the more frequent mid-scale productions to be operated by 2 personnel, while allowing expandability for larger productions to be fully supported by mobile video trucks, with all necessary patch bays, routing and broadcast support.

By far, the largest technical challenge of the renovation was a newly installed LED wall that covers a massive 144’ wide span, the full width of the venue. To accommodate stage entrances with such an expansive screen, a 25’ automated pull-out entryway was built directly into the LED display, creating a built-in doorway, which, at the push of a button can be retracted as the show begins. The result is a seamless, wall-to-wall video screen which fully encompasses the length of the venue for optimal audience viewing from every seat.

Driving the 12,000,000-pixel LED wall in tandem with a 4k projection system required the most sophisticated imaging technology on the market, including an array of Pandoras Box media servers, Spyder X80 screen management system, as well as a Production Studio 4k 2ME switching system for standard broadcast camera control.

“I can’t think of a better partner for this project than Quince Imaging,” said Cathy Arevian, The Bridge Group’s CEO. “The video systems integration wasn’t just about technology – which was staggering in itself – but the ability to work with different partners, demanding stakeholders and the idiosyncrasies of an historic structure, coupled with the ability to course correct in real time, made them superstars on this project.”

The new conceptual design will meet the audiovisual needs of all events hosted at Conmy Hall for many years to come.

New USB Network Gate 9.0 And Improved USB Device Isolation Feature

Leave a comment



ALEXANDRIA, Va. (PRWEB)

Electronic Team. Inc. announces the release of USB Network Gate 9.0 for Windows, an important update to the company’s flagship solution for sharing USB ports over the network. The biggest changes are in the client part of the app. Now users can isolate their USB flash drives, audio cards, USB webcams, 3D mice, and numerous other USB devices while working in the multi-user environments on remote PCs.

With the revamped device isolation feature, it’s possible to connect individual USB devices to a remote computer and utilize them isolated from other user accounts and sessions. The USB devices that are connected to the remote PC remain invisible to other users logged in to the remote system.

For more information please visit https://www.net-usb.com/

USB Network Gate is a professional software tool for sharing USB devices over the Internet and LAN. It has gained popularity among millions of users worldwide for its streamlined and user-friendly interface combined with a powerful feature set.

The new release of the app includes the advanced per-session and per-user USB device isolation capabilities. The improved functionality helps prevent unauthorized access to shared USB devices that contain sensitive data.


  • Per-session USB device isolation allows restricting access to selected USB peripherals connected to the remote PC. With this option, the user can make any of their shared devices accessible only during their current remote desktop session. This means when the USB device is shared on the local computer and connected to the remote machine, it won’t be visible to other user sessions.

  • Per-user USB device isolation provides a way to make the USB device accessible only from a specific user account. This can be a local user account, a domain user account, or a Microsoft user account.

In addition to the device isolation support, USB Network Gate 9.0 adds several critical bug fixes and performance improvements.

Additional features of USB Network Gate 9.0 include:

> Extended sharing options, including the ability to set a particular time of inactivity after which the server initiates the device disconnection from the client computer.

> The ability to disable the automatic device restart for the device not to be reset after its disconnection from the client machine.

Support for the Microsoft RDP and Citrix ICA protocols

USB Network Gate 9.0 supports the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol and native RemoteFX USB Redirection. The software allows sharing a physical USB port with virtual desktops. Any device inserted into the shared port will become available for remote connection while working over RDP. Also, the program provides USB redirection over the Citrix ICA protocol.

News Image

VR is helping the educational arena to make strides in helping people to learn more efficiently.


MIAMI (PRWEB)

Laurence Fishburne, star of several notable films and television series, is the host of the educational show “In Depth”. Showcasing a broad array of topics, “In Depth” serves as a teaching tool to inform its audience about events taking place around the world today. An upcoming episode will interview industry professionals in the educational field about how VR technologies are aiding learning from a distance.

Virtual Reality (VR) is helping students to learn from a distance. Before the incorporation of VR into the educational space, learning-focused primarily on taking in information via reading, a teacher’s lectures, or watching informational videos. Fact retention teaches students to memorize facts rather than comprehending and learning the information they are receiving.

VR gives students the ability to experience what they are learning; there are no limitations like illustrations and descriptions in books. Certain technologies like science labs are essential for teaching students how things work practically, but these labs can be expensive and are limited in what they can do. VR can take the place of many lab experiences for a fraction of the cost. Also, many people are visual learners, and VR can be especially helpful for those who learn in this manner.

VR is helping the educational arena to make strides in helping people to learn more efficiently. “In Depth” will cover in more detail in the upcoming episode about how Virtual Reality is aiding learning from a distance, and will feature prominent experts to speak on the topic.

“In Depth” with Laurence Fishburne is cautiously inspected before broadcast. The educational TV program has received numerous Tellys for its endeavors.
