In architecting the ETERNUS DSP series the fundamental goal was to provide customers the ability to autonomously adapt and compose the infrastructure to precise application needs, via the unique ability to concurrently and seamlessly manage heterogeneous hardware and media, present or future, unlike any other storage system in the market. We enable customers the ability to “live” change the system in response to both failures, and more importantly, events that improve the applications that ETERNUS DSP series is supporting. Enterprise storage software must strike a balance between delivering availability, performance and scalability along with data agility and developer velocity. This white paper describes the choices, advantages and trade-offs we made in delivering the attributes of Enterprise Storage while revolutionizing the ability to scale, manage and change the system.

The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 was the most significant disruption ever encountered by the aerospace industry. Nations locked down, flights were cancelled and aircraft were parked and stored. The exceptional scope and speed of the pandemic affected each industry segment: airline, MRO, OEM, vendor and lessor.

For many years supply chain security appears to have been something of a second-tier priority for both software developers and the companies that rely upon their product. It was more common to focus attention on what happens after the software is built, through code reviews, penetration testing, and the development and implementation of patches and updates. This type of approach overlooks the very real possibility that, even with all the efforts mentioned above, end users still have no guarantee they are actually installing the application originally conceived as a code base. Over time, this somewhat myopic vision has given malicious actors multiple opportunities to insert malware or damage images. But, recent events have rapidly forced the industry to take a wider perspective on how software security is defined.

The global logistics industry of the 21st century has been defined by large global Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) investing in efficiency. One of the main drivers of this has been a slow but steady deployment of software driven task automation; the replacement of repetitive tasks traditionally carried out by an employee with software that automatically performs those functions. These investments have dramatically improved the efficiency of global LSPs and forever reshaped the ways in which they move freight.

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing risks to global health: [1] rising temperatures are resulting in an increase in hospital admissions and heat-related deaths; extreme weather events such as flooding and droughts are disrupting food systems, displacing people, and undermining access to healthcare; and changing patterns of water-borne and vector-borne diseases are threatening decades of progress in infectious disease control.[2] Climate change is also exacerbating the incidence of many non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, through increased air pollution, extreme heat, and other factors.[

Ships require a constant energy supply for propulsion and other onboard systems. Fuel requirements and consumption are essential parameters to factor in at the design phase. Adopting alternative fuels will raise important considerations as to the operating profile and architecture of the ship and the need to train crews in their safe storage and use, for instance.
