Customised Standard for flexibility in data centre design
An off-the-shelf solution or customised development? This question often presents itself during the data centre design and development phase. Standard solutions based on the cookie-cutter principle are delivered quickly and are usually less costly than customised solutions. This approach often lacks the flexibility needed to meet the needs and requirements of the data centre professional.
UltraSoC announces Bare Metal Security
UltraSoC have announced Bare Metal Security capabilities, extending its industry-leading on-chip monitoring and analytics to deliver security functionality required in a broad range of embedded products, from IoT appliances to enterprise systems.
