If a firewall goes down, nobody can access the cloud. About 63 percent of embedded computer attacks strike the shared infrastructure as it’s the first thing the attack will hit.“Prior to recent attacks on Embedded Computer financial institutions in the U.S., there was not much awareness or knowledge of embedded computer attacks and other cyber threats,” Kenig says. “However, once the first bank became a victim, immediately embedded computer all the other institutions started to learn more about the attacks, search for solutions, then deploy those solutions quickly. When I look at military cloud security solutions, there are many vendors and partners providing tools and solutions, but not many providing availability security embedded computer attacks are hurting the availability of online services and many antivirus vendors and embedded computer do not focus on the availability aspect.”

ANR-IB751N1/A/B networking appliances.

ANR-IB75N1/A/B is a rackmount platform (440x372x44mm) which can be installed in the 19” rack. It can carry a 3rd generation Intel Core i i3, i5, i7, or Pentium processors to deliver higher efficiency, increased processing throughput, and improved performance on applications. ANR-IB75N1/A/B also comes equipped with a maximum 16GB DDR3 memory and optional 2 or 4 x SFP and 8 x LAN ports. System Integrators can select different configurations for their network appliances. It offers the best P/P ratio in applications like the UTM, IDS/IPS, VPN, Firewall, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, RSA gateway, QoS, streaming.

ANR-IB75N1/A/B uses 80 Plus PSU which reduces energy consumption and helps protect the environment. The software and hardware configurable LAN bypass feature also prevents communication breaks due to power loss or system hang-ups. In addition to Intel long life support chipsets, ANR-IB75N1/A/B is designed with a long-term support of 5 years.

ANR-IB75N1/A/B is available now. For more information, please contact acrosser Technology, Acrosser USA, and ACROSSER worldwide retailers in your area.

Virtualization trends in commercial computing offer benefits for cost, reliability, and security, but pose a challenge for military operators who need to visualize lossless imagery in real time.
10 GbE technology enables a standard zero client solution for viewing pixel-perfect C4ISR sensor and graphics information with near zero interactive latency. For C4ISR systems, ready access to and sharing of visual information at any operator position can increase situational awareness and mission effectiveness. Operators utilize multiple information sources including computers and camera feeds, as well as high-fidelity radar and sonar imagery.

In recent years, building, maintaining, and evolving proprietary network systems for telecom-grade applications that are highly available and “always on” have become increasingly prohibitive from the perspective of cost, risk management, time to revenue, and so on. The custom-built approach becomes even less cost effective as Communications Service Providers (CSPs) move toward offering cloud-based services, where they have to compete with non-traditional providers that offer such services on networks built using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) building blocks.

A change in market dynamics is causing a fundamental paradigm shift in industry’s thinking: Instead of continuing to invest precious Research and Development (R&D) resources and dollars to build expensive, special-purpose proprietary systems with the hope that they will never fail, industry leaders are now assuming that there will be hardware and software failures and thus designing systems and applications that continue to provide end-user service in the presence of such failures.

3D audio assistance blades

HARTING Mitronics AG, Switzerland, a company of the HARTING Group, Germany, is noted for its expertise in Molded Interconnect Device (MID) technology, a 3D contour-following electromechanical embedded technology. A hearing aid (Figure 2) currently in production at Siemens Audiological (Medical), Germany, using MID technology was runner-up for the Hermes Award for product innovation at the Hannover Messe Fair, and won the MID Industrial Prize at Productronica in Munich. With MID technology, Siemens Medical can use three directional stereoscopic microphones and ear-to-ear wireless communication to enable simultaneous 3D hearing with optimized adaptive noise cancellation in a device smaller than traditional hearing aids, so it is practically embedded in the human ear. HARTING Mitronics used a laser system from LPKF, Germany, in a laser direct structuring process to produce the MID devices.
