Storage Computer Corp, a leading worldwide provider of high-performance storage and media delivery systems, has been selected to provide high-speed data transfer and data warehousing at three major airports in Taiwan.
According to a Business Wire online report, Storage Computer will install five CyberUltra systems with a total capacity of up to six terabytes, initially to support high-speed data transfer and data warehousing between the three major airports in Taiwan.
The performance requirements developed by the Republic of China government explicitly call for guaranteed uptime, as well as maximized data throughput and data transfer.
Todd Vlegut, vice president of marketing at Storage Computer, said the ROC government "was very precise in its expectations. There can be no down time with these systems because it directly impacts the Immigration Department's ability to process inbound and outbound travelers. The systems can never go down and there is an incredibly high-volume of information required in this geographical area."
"I'm pleased to state we were able to demonstrate our reliability and our performance advantages in the face of intense competition," he added.
The CyberUltra systems are scalable to multi-terabyte capacities and can triple the performance of Taiwan's currently installed systems. The continually increasing volume of data traffic, which reflects the continuing increase in airport traffic, requires an inherently flexible system capable of scaling to meet demand effortlessly.
The systems will be installed and maintained by Taiwan Electric Data Processing Corp (TEDPC), Storage Computer's distribution partner in Taiwan. ; is a leading systems integrator in the region with strong ties to the medical imaging industry.
DEMOGRAPHICS: Robotics is the most promising answer to looming labor woes, the long-term care system and national contingency response, an official said Taiwan is to launch a five-year plan to boost the robotics industry in a bid to address labor shortages stemming from a declining and aging population, the Executive Yuan said yesterday. The government approved the initiative, dubbed the Smart Robotics Industry Promotion Plan, via executive order, senior officials told a post-Cabinet meeting news conference in Taipei. Taiwan’s population decline would strain the economy and the nation’s ability to care for vulnerable and elderly people, said Peter Hong (洪樂文), who heads the National Science and Technology Council’s (NSTC) Department of Engineering and Technologies. Projections show that the proportion of Taiwanese 65 or older would
Nvidia Corp yesterday unveiled its new high-speed interconnect technology, NVLink Fusion, with Taiwanese application-specific IC (ASIC) designers Alchip Technologies Ltd (世芯) and MediaTek Inc (聯發科) among the first to adopt the technology to help build semi-custom artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure for hyperscalers. Nvidia has opened its technology to outside users, as hyperscalers and cloud service providers are building their own cost-effective AI chips, or accelerators, used in AI servers by leveraging ASIC firms’ designing capabilities to reduce their dependence on Nvidia. Previously, NVLink technology was only available for Nvidia’s own AI platform. “NVLink Fusion opens Nvidia’s AI platform and rich ecosystem for
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday said it is building nine new advanced wafer manufacturing and packaging factories this year, accelerating its expansion amid strong demand for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The chipmaker built on average five factories per year from 2021 to last year and three from 2017 to 2020, TSMC vice president of advanced technology and mask engineering T.S. Chang (張宗生) said at the company’s annual technology symposium in Hsinchu City. “We are quickening our pace even faster in 2025. We plan to build nine new factories, including eight wafer fabrication plants and one advanced
‘WORLD’S LOSS’: Taiwan’s exclusion robs the world of the benefits it could get from one of the foremost practitioners of disease prevention and public health, Minister Chiu said Taiwan should be allowed to join the World Health Assembly (WHA) as an irreplaceable contributor to global health and disease prevention efforts, Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) said yesterday. He made the comment at a news conference in Taipei, hours before a Taiwanese delegation was to depart for Geneva, Switzerland, seeking to meet with foreign representatives for a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the WHA, the WHO’s annual decisionmaking meeting, which would be held from Monday next week to May 27. As of yesterday, Taiwan had yet to receive an invitation. Taiwan has much to offer to the international community’s
