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.
The Rugged Data Storage (RDS) system from Mercury Systems delivers VAST's Universal
Storage in an all-flash, ruggedized edge system to enable fast and reliable access to big
data, AI, and machine learning insights. RDS delivers the ultimate in data center-class,
multi-petabyte, network-attached storage (NAS), empowering users to quickly analyze and
respond to national security situations in the harshest, most remote environments.
