THE IBM Z16, IBM’S NEXT-GENER-
ATION system with an integrated on-chip AI accelerator delivers latency-optimized inferencing. This will enable clients to analyze real-time transactions, at scale -- for mission-critical workloads such as credit card, healthcare and financial transactions. It is specifically designed to help protect against near-future threats that might be used to crack today’s encryption technologies. IBM z16 uniquely brings together AI inferencing, via its IBM Telum Processor, with secured and reliable high-volume transaction processing. This will empower banks to analyze for fraud during transactions on a massive scale. IBM z16 can process 300 billion inference requests per day within one millisecond of latency. With IBM z16, banks can reduce the time and energy required to handle fraudulent transactions on their credit card. For both merchants and card issuers, this could mean a reduction in revenue loss as consumers could avoid frustration associated with false declines where they might turn to other cards for future transactions. At a time when other threats including tax fraud and organized retail theft are emerging as challenges for governments and businesses to control and Real-time payments and alternative payment methods like cryptocurrencies are pushing the limits on traditional fraud detection techniques, the new capabilities of IBM z16 can help create a new class of use cases, including Loan approval, Clearing and settlement, and federated learning for retail.
Securing data with quantum-safe system
In a hybrid cloud environment inclusive of on-premises and public cloud resources, it is critical to protect against today’s threats and posture against cyber criminals who may be stealing data now for decryption later. Building on IBM technologies like Pervasive Encryption and Confidential Computing, IBM z16 takes cyber resiliency a leap further by protecting data against future threats that could evolve with advances in quantum computing. Being a quantum-safe system, IBM z16 is underpinned by lattice-based cryptography, an approach for constructing security primitives that helps protect data and systems against current and future threats. With IBM z16 quantum-safe cryptography, businesses can future-ready their applications and data today.

BELDEN
BELDEN GREYHOUND ETHERNET SWITCH FAMILY
Belden’s Hirschmann GREYHOUND 105/106 Ethernet Switches, built to deliver fast, secure, cost-effective, and future-proof network connectivity in industrial operations are available now.
GREYHOUND 105/106 Ethernet Switches from Hirschmann offer a very high port density with support for multiple Gigabit speeds. The compact design combines hardened industrial hardware and high-performance switching and routing capabilities while meeting any performance, redundancy, or budget requirements.
Now customers can choose the features best suited for their environments and pay only for the speed, power, and security they need – with the confidence that the solution can scale easily as connectivity requirements increase. HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 (SBC-2), the first in-space commercial edge computing and AI-enabled system to run on the International Space Station (ISS), has successfully completed 24 research experiments, accelerating time-to-insight from months and days to minutes.
The experiments involved real-time data processing and testing of new applications to prove reliability in space as part of an effort to increase autonomy for astronauts. These experiments spanned uses cases supporting healthcare, image processing, natural disaster recovery, 3D printing, 5G, and solutions enabled by artificial intelligence.
SBC-2 is part of a greater mission to significantly advance computing and reduce dependence on communications as humans travel farther into space to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Key Features:
• Scalability to meet future bandwidth needs and connect more network devices • With multiple configuration options, enables customers to select the speed and power necessary for their specific applications. • Robust security and high-performance switching features through best-in-class HiOS switch software that ensures the large amounts of data collected in the field can be delivered to the enterprise level quickly, securely and reliably.

RAX10
NETGEAR RAX10 is an affordable 4-Stream AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router for your home. The RAX10 is capable of wireless data throughputs of up to 1.8Gbps, enough to replace those physical Internet/Ethernet cables and go wire-free.
The NETGEAR RAX10 is a dual-band 4-stream Wi-Fi 6 wireless router that features 4X more capacity with 40% increased data throughputs and 100% backward compatible with older devices. The simultaneous dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz are capable of data throughputs of up to 600mbps + 1200mbps respectively. Based on a powerful quad-core 1.5GHz processor and three high-gain antennas, this little AX beast can handle 4 simultaneous streams of Wi-Fi 6. Now, four of your AX-compatible devices can easily enjoy up to 8K UHD videos or lag-free gaming. And for all those wired devices around your home, there are 5Gigabit Ethernet (4 x LAN + 1 x WAN) ports too that provide uninterrupted connections.
The NETGEAR RAX10 also has greater benefits with AX technology. While AX-compatible devices can connect at higher speeds, these devices also get an improved efficiency for longer battery life. Additional DFS channels also help reduce interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks. n Pricing: INR 8,149/- Warranty: On Request Address: netgearstore.in
