HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 Program Features KIOXIA SSDs in the HPE Edgeline Converged Edge System and HPE ProLiant Server Used for Research Experiments TOKYO, Feb 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kioxia Corporation today announced its proud participation in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Spaceborne Computer-2 (SBC-2) program. As part of the program, KIOXIA SSDs provide robust flash storage in HPE Edgeline and HPE ProLiant servers in a test environment to conduct scientific experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230227005968/en/ The HPE Spaceborne Computer-2, the first in-space commercial edge computing and AI-enabled system to run on the ISS, is part of a greater mission to significantly advance computing and reduce dependency on communications as space exploration continues to expand. For example, astronauts can achieve increased autonomy by processing data directly on the ISS, eliminating the need to send raw data to Earth to be processed, analyzed and sent back to space. Designed to perform various high-performance computing tasks in space, including real-time image processing, deep learning, and scientific simulations, the HPE SBC-2 utilizes a combination of HPE’s edge computing solutions, including the HPE Edgeline Converged Edge System, a rugged and compact system, and the HPE ProLiant server for high-performing capabilities. The HPE SBC-2 targets a range of workloads and has already helped advance progress in healthcare, image processing, natural disaster recovery, 3D printing, 5G, AI and more. As a sponsor of the HPE SBC-2, Kioxia has provided flash-based SSDs, including KIOXIA RM Series Value SAS and KIOXIA XG Series NVMe™ SSDs, to enable these solutions. These flash-based SSDs are better-suited than traditional hard disk drive storage to withstand the power, performance and reliability requirements of outer space, as they have no moving parts, are less susceptible to electromagnetic waves and provide faster performance. Kioxia has been collaborating with HPE to create best-in-class storage solutions for years, and the company’s products enable a broad range of HPE solutions, from mobile to data center to enterprise. *NVMe is a registered or unregistered mark of NVM Express, Inc. in the United States and other countries. *Other company names, product names, and service names may be trademarks of third-party companies.

The opening is in response to growing demand and as part of its ongoing expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a statement. “Singapore is home to some of the most knowledgeable and passionate luxury watch enthusiasts in the world, and we are delighted that we can now provide them with direct access to the Grand Seiko world. “We are very fortunate to have been able to obtain a prime location for the store, and we look forward to welcoming our clients at the Marina Bay Sands,” said Seiko Watch Corporation President, Akio Naito. In the presence of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Singapore, Hiroshi Ishikawa, Grand Seiko officially opened the 134-square-metre boutique's doors in a grand ceremony. In addition to the traditional ribbon cutting, the occasion was marked by a performance by a celebrated Japanese "taiko" drum troupe, "Kodo", whose name is phonetically shared with the award-winning Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon. Born in 1960, Grand Seiko is deeply rooted in its Japanese heritage and its brand philosophy, "The Nature of Time”, celebrating the Japanese spirituality of time that is deeply inspired by nature and brought to life by "takumi" (craftsmen). -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- A new study by Juniper Research revealed that the number of digital identity apps in use will exceed 4.1 billion globally by 2027; up from 2.3 billion in 2023, representing a growth of 82 per cent over the next four years.
This increase will be driven by the use of government-backed digital identities to replace physical identity documents as a source of verification for third-party apps, such as banking and financial services. According to Juniper Research in a statement, this will be critical, as businesses aim to reduce identity theft and meet increasingly stringent Know Your Customer regulations. The research also identified a move away from reliance on passwords for identity verification, with these replaced by biometric verification and Multi-factor Authentication under a zero-trust model, where identities are authenticated continuously. This approach is more resistant to traditional hacking methods such as phishing, therefore reducing the risk of data breaches. Zero trust will be delivered via Single Sign On (SSO), which allows the user to access multiple accounts via a central, secured system. Critical to SSO is the use of mobile subscriber identity, with the number of mobile devices using their mobile number for SSO predicted to reach two billion in 2027; up from 922 million in 2023. Its research author, Michael Greenwood said: “Consumers are highly motivated by convenience; making a streamlining of user experience significant for attracting and retaining them. SSO can achieve this, whilst also appealing to security-conscious users.” The research also stated that the primary competition for dedicated digital identity apps will come from digital wallets, which offer payment functionality alongside a digital identity capability. -- BERNAMA |
