How Does the FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) Standard Measure up Against the PMC/XMC Format for Embedded Defense/Aerospace Applications?
FMCs promise to do for FPGA based solutions what PMC and XMC did for embedded CPU based systems. However, FMC is not really competing with PMC or XMC, but actually complements it, particularly for high bandwidth, low latency applications.

Networked flash storage blade on an ATCA 10 Gb backplane - server virtualization, database and video media delivery
Applications such as server virtualization, database and video media delivery require high IOPS/GB and/or low response times. This paper explores the benefits of networked flash storage deployed on an ATCA 10 Gb backplane to improve these three vertical application areas, including the technology and the benefits of in-chassis networked flash storage.

McAfee Embedded Control: Built-in protection for bulletproof peace of mind
Today, embedded devices are all around us–in kiosks, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, ATMs, medical equipment, and more. For far too long, however, protecting the integrity of these devices and the sensitive information they contain has been an afterthought. McAfee(r) Embedded Control enhances embedded device integrity, maximizing uptime, reducing support costs, and helping to ensure compliance throughout the lifecycle of your devices.

Applying "Sandy Bridge" to Embedded Applications
Market demand continues to grow for high-performance imaging, communications and security systems. Solutions need to contain scalable power-efficient processors with better integrated graphics capabilities than ever before. From imaging to communications to security to raw scalar throughput, the second generation Intel(r) Core(tm) processors (formerly code-named Sandy Bridge) combining with C206, Q67 and QM67 chipsets offer either a simple, power-efficient upgrade or a massive architectural simplification.

Harmonizing Modeling and Simulation with the Development Lifecycle - Improved Management of Models Accelerates the Development Cycle
Model-based development and testing are revolutionizing industry sectors like automotive and aerospace, but the models themselves (as well as the modification and testing of those models) are still disconnected from the overall development lifecycles. Disconnected modeling represents a critical risk to the organization.
