Edge computing platforms must rapidly ingest and process data to accelerate time to
insight for military personnel who rely on real-time data for mission-critical decision
making. Limited by legacy storage architectures and costly all-flash solutions, defense
systems struggle to deliver the performance and scale required for high-performance edge
computing. These challenges are heightened especially in harsh remote environments on
land, at sea, in the air, or in space.
Mercury Systems and VAST Data have collaborated to build a rugged, high-performance
storage solution for edge-based data capture and AI computing in military and defense
operations. Optimized for the defense industry's size, weight, and power (SWaP)
requirements, the Mercury-VAST system delivers the ultimate in datacenter class,
exabyte-scale network-attached storage (NAS) and empowers users to respond rapidly
to national security situations in the harshest, most remote environments.
