COMING NEXT MONTH Defense Embraces Cloud Computing, IoT and Big Data
The combination of dense storage systems and high-speed networking has led to easily virtualized data sharing systems—also known as “cloud computing”. The defense world wants to leverage everything it can from that trend as well as the technologies and capabilities of the Internet-ofThings (IoT) and access to Big Data analytics. This section looks at the cloud computing, network gateway and sensor interface solutions from the IoT that can be applied to defense needs.

System Development: VME, CompactPCI and COM Express Serve Tech Update Programs
Tech upgrade strategies vary depending on whether it’s just the processing technology that needs a refresh or whether the interconnect speeds and other capabilities are the issue. With both VME and CompactPCI a new board with the latest and greatest processor, memory and I/O can easily be dropped into a slot that could be decades old. And COM Express lets you upgrade just the compute core of a system leaving the application-specific I/O unchanged. This section looks at technology and product choices involved in these decisions.
Data Sheet: Small Rugged Box-Level Systems Roundup
Small form factor rugged boxes have become a staple in today’s military embedded computing market. These complete system boxes often support standard form factor modules inside them. The result is a complete, tested and enclosed computing solution that eliminates complex integration chores for customers. This section focus on the segment of rugged boxes in the “small” category and outlines the problems they solve. A product album rounds up the latest representative products in this area.
