www.mrcy.com Mercury's new TRRUST-Stor VPX RT radiation-tolerant SSD featuring BuiltSECURE™ technology is the first commercial SSD precision- engineered for the harshest possible operating environments leveraging OpenVPX™ standards. Although designed for commercial satellite applications, the new device can also be adapted for other applications where radiation exposure may occur, including high- altitude aircraft, airborne weapons, and mission-critical ground computing systems. TRRUST-Stor VPX RT SSD includes advanced BuiltSECURE error correction algorithms paired with large geometry industrial-grade Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash memory. Designed for fault-tolerance with up to six failed NAND devices, the new device offers long-term data integrity for applications where device repair or replacement is cost-prohibitive. Recognizing that no two mission requirements are identical, customers can tailor power consumption against performance requirements for each unique mission. Mercury's new storage product is designed for seamless integration with the OpenVPX ecosystem of processing boards and chassis.
