Military big data needs require call for high density and Mercury meets that requirement with a modular solution. Mercury’s storage architecture leverages commodity solid-state disks (SSDs), providing tailored capacity with an upgrade path for future requirements.
Military big data needs require call for high density and Mercury meets that requirement with a modular solution. Mercury’s storage architecture leverages commodity solid-state disks (SSDs), providing tailored capacity with an upgrade path for future requirements. Its configurable design meets different data interface, redundancy, and security needs, while also fulfilling size, weight, and power (SWaP) needs.
The data interface can accommodate SATA, 10 GbE, SFPDP, Fibre Channel, or other high-bandwidth interconnects. Technologies such as Protocol Offload Engine Technology (POET) add networking and video-compression capabilities. Users may also look for redundancy using technologies such as RAID, and can then add encryption for security and deep-packet inspection for protection against intrusions, noncompliant data, and viruses. The data-storage units may be adapted for users’ specific vibration or pressurization requirements; a conformal coating protects the unit against moisture, dust, chemical contaminants, and temperature extremes. Next-generation versions will address ways to store analog signals.
