As military works to capitalize on the deluge of data generated by intelligent, connected devices, and intelligent data strategy has been more critical. Enter edge computing, playing an essential role in addressing this challenge by enabling access and analytics close to the data source.

Edge computing can mean many different things, but for military users, the key is flexible, modular, and rugged systems that are proven and reliable in harsh tactical land, maritime, and airborne environments. The RPC6 NAS incorporates a removable magazine with up to 6 SSDs or HDDs which can be removed to off load data. The magazines can then be moved to separate locations and plugged into another RPC24 on any other network for further analysis.
