San Francisco, CA, May 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Movyl Technologies has launched a groundbreaking smart social marketing platform that not only automates the functions of composing, curating, scheduling and publishing content; engaging with influencers; listening across channels; and analyzing social campaigns, but also learns those functions over time. By sharing content across channels and campaigns, the integrated platform provides marketers with prescriptive insights that broaden a brand’s reach and engagement while reducing costs, time and labor.

Budgets for advertising on social media have continued to skyrocket, with analysts expecting growth of over 20% this year. eMarketer projects that Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter will collectively capture over 11% of US advertising spend this year. By 2021, they are expected to grow to 70% of overall marketing budgets.

“We are letting marketers focus on what they do best, strategy and creative vision, rather than the mechanics of creating, publishing and responding to posts,” said Giancarlo Mori, CEO of Movyl Technologies. “As social continues to grow, companies need to continue making significant investments in manpower, time, and services just to keep up. The pace is unsustainable. We have developed our platform to help companies increase the quality and engagement of their content and improve their results using smaller teams.”

Movyl Technologies is leading in the application of using AI toward the growing challenges of social media marketing. The platform uses machine learning techniques such as neural networks and deep learning, natural language processing, and other forms of artificial intelligence to automate nearly all of the social marketing functions across the major social networks. By integrating all of the function of social marketing in one intuitive dashboard, the platform gives marketers the tools and insights they need to create comprehensive online campaigns and assess the effectiveness of those campaigns based on the text and content that their audience shares across channels.

Mori continued, “Marketers are under intense pressure to manage increasing complexity, produce relevant content, and continually attract new users – challenges that cannot be addressed by simply adding headcount. They need to find ways to meaningfully augment productivity and drive scale in order to break through the clutter and generate awareness. That is why we believe that artificial intelligence is an essential tool for efficient and effective social media marketing.”

Brands can amplify their social conversations by automatically composing, iterating relevant content from public and private sources and publishing them to audiences at scale. Once a campaign is launched, the platform automatically responds to posts, analyzes which channels are most appropriate to reach an audience and predicts trends in real-time, adjusting and modifying a campaign to increase customer engagement. The system’s integrated publishing, listening and evaluation capabilities help marketers discover trends and instantly curate content to modify their campaigns and get more return from their investment.

Dr. Robin Gras, Movyl’s Chief Science Officer, explains, “The last 10 years have seen tremendous strides in the development of AI research and applications, particularly with advancements in machine learning technologies. Successes in such complex domains as automatic translation, speech recognition, image analysis and game strategies, have exposed the great potential of these technologies and we now have the ability to apply a very powerful suite of tools and methodologies to automatize tasks, saving companies time and money while also delivering very rich and useful information to them.”

Newport Beach, CA, May 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- In the final analysis of over 7 million Internet generated mortgage leads, iLeads.com® concluded that online consumers drove over $117 billion in loan origination dollars in 2017 and accounted for nearly 20% of total refinance originations in 2017*.

For the final report for 2017, iLeads.com® utilized its nationwide property, title and lien data resources to analyze mortgage leads that were generated online by a select group of the largest Internet lead sources. Over 572,000 leads in this group resulted in a funded loan after the date of generation, with an average loan amount of $205,433.

Below are some of the data points from this study (additional data points available upon request).

Lead / Revenue:
Total estimated cost of leads (if purchased at $15 per): $108,905,505
Total estimated revenue in origination dollars ($5,000 revenue per loan):: $2.8 billion
Revenue potential to Originator ($5,000 revenue per loan): Over $36 Billion
Dollar Originations by Loan Types
Conventional: $81,908,563,388
FHA: $13,979,900,004
VA: $13,365,670,016

Line of credit: $5,952,611,440
Top performing states (by originated dollars) for 2017 were:
1. California: $30,869,968,722
2. Florida: $9,246,495,750
3. Texas: $8,868,987,195
4. Nevada: $5,009,489,602
5. Georgia: $4,779,567,865

“2017 proved once again that Internet leads convert to successful loan originations at a very high rate compared with other marketing methods,” said Drew Warmington, CEO of iLeads.com, LLC. “While Q3 and Q4 proved challenging for Originators, overall online consumers continue to be very comfortable researching loan options via the Internet.”

”With over one trillion dollars in potential orgination dollars in play, and nearly 20% of U.S. refinancing’s correlated to an online lead, I think that its impossible to argue that the online consumer is not well worth the time and resources in trying to capture. Some have argued that online leads do not close, or are not quality. Clearly the data proves that sentiment wrong,” Warmington said.

This study shows mortgage originators continue to find great financial success by using the Internet lead channel to acquire new customers. “By combining data and smart analysis with the core benefits of the online lead channel (fixed costs, continued growth and consistency), lenders have a clear path to success,” finshed Warmington.

The iLeads.com® Mortgage Lead Funding Study is an ongoing initiative undertaken by iLeads.com® to provide funding outcome data for the Internet mortgage lead generation.

Princeton, NJ, May 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- "The Splintering Realm," the next epic Fantasy and Sci-Fi installment in "The Soulstealer War" novels is finally available. Author W.L. Hoffman continues the adventures of his reluctant wizard - Kenneth McNary - across the magical Realm of Weir, and now into the exciting reality of Book Expo / Book Con at the Javits Center in New York City. Booth 1343.

When asked about the event, Hoffman explained:

"I'm thrilled to return to Book Expo, which rolls into Book Con. As an author, this is the place to make connections and let the synergies fly ... it's the show of shows for publishers and book buyers, and it includes a savory hodgepodge of librarians, reviewers, writers, film makers, game designers, marketing groups, and readers of all genres!"

Hoffman has previously been quoted on his favorite aspects of this series:

"Fantasy books should entertain, but I hope mine will also leave readers wondering about reality. What is the nature of human existence beyond Earth and after death? Is true magic possible? Secondary to these big-picture questions, I love building layers of fact and myth...every culture has its folklore, and therein can be found the secret narratives."

Hoffman briefly added:

"The Splintering Realm will also have extras, like the Lexicon from Aristorn sa Amontyr (Librarian of the Elder Race), and readers will be introduced to that feline prankster of myth - Tabby Mittens!"

About the Book:

The Nosferu draw nearer to achieving their dark ends in the fantastic Realm of Weir, with Earth soon to follow. War looms across the ill-prepared Realm, threatening the eternal soul of every creature.

Human Kenneth McNary has been transported to Weir by the First Mother, tasked with uniting the Elder Race, and much more. Now, the Realm's magic continues to dwindle and Ken is hunted relentlessly by the monstrous R'Kesh. To fulfill his charge, Ken has been gifted with armor and the ability to wield Elder magic, but both may consume him. With such burdens, can he reconcile his star-crossed love for the half-immortal Dalia? Can a mere human shift the balance of power among Gods in The Splintering Realm, or will the newly minted wizard fall before his enemies?

About the Author:

W.L. Hoffman is the author of "The Soulstealer War" series, as well as other fantasy and Sci-Fi stories. Hoffman's interest in reading was voracious from an early age. He received his BA in English from Duke University and attended English literature classes at New College at Oxford University in England. Hoffman then obtained his JD from Cornell Law School. He edited and wrote as an associate on the Cornell International Law Journal and, between legal treatises, his dreams wandered into strange realms as he quested for life's higher meaning. Thus was born the foundation for "The Soulstealer War" and a literary career, which both lingered until Hoffman left a successful law practice to explore new horizons. Writing late night, after the work day ended and the children were asleep, the Realm of Weir flourished and characters blossomed into wondrous multi-layered reality.

Hoffman currently resides in central New Jersey with his wife and daughters. He enjoys spending time with his family, exploring mountain wilds, and telling tales to the next generation of dreamers and writers.

Belleville, IL, May 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Firefighting and emergency services suppliers Fire Cam (firecam.com) announced today the acquisition of Blackjack Global, producers of light and camera mounts for fire helmets. Both companies were founded by veteran firefighters, providing innovative solutions for emergency services professionals. The acquisition will allow Fire Cam to provide customers with the best mounts available for Fire Cam’s high quality and heat-resistant helmet cameras.

Blackjack mounts are the global industry standard for attaching lights and cameras to fire helmets. The Blackjack was designed by Chris McCorkle when he was working as a fire fighter for the Phoenix Fire Department. McCorkle’s simple and almost indestructible design placed the light under the brim of the helmet – a design innovation that removed the possibility of the light snagging on anything, and placed the light in a functional, line of sight position. Blackjack now produces several patented mounts addressing different helmet mounting needs for firefighters. 3 out of 4 of the most popular helmet mounts used in firefighting today are Blackjack models.

Helmet mounted cameras are standard equipment for emergency operations, providing critical footage and data for training and investigations. The Fire Cam 1080 and 1080 Mini capture high definition photos and videos, yet weigh just a few ounces and can be mounted to any fire helmet. These fire helmet cams perform in low light and can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit for short periods while also performing underwater.

“When the idea of Fire Cam acquiring the company was first introduced, we knew it was the perfect fit,” says Chris McCorkle of Blackjack. “We have known Rob and Jami Schield for over a decade, and we have worked together to build our products and our brands in the fire market. We share the same passion for quality products and helping firefighters.” “Blackjack reinvented how flashlights are attached to fire helmets,” says Rob Schield, Fire Cam’s owner. “This technology allowed us to attach our heat resistant helmet cameras, using their patented mounts.

“We look at this as an excellent opportunity to add more value for our customers and to grow our company.”

Fire Cam strives to be the premier provider of high quality, innovative, industry-specific camera technologies for first responders and related markets worldwide.

Chandler, AZ, May 30, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Introduction: The vast expanse of the United States electrical grid stretches several million miles. A complex network of power generation plants and substations are interspersed between overhead transmission lines. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) like the Falcon 8+ operated by Skynetwest LLC provide a safe and efficient method to survey and inspect the condition of the aging power grid.

High resolution aerial photogrammetry can be captured in a matter of minutes, providing utility service providers with an accurate view of multiple grid components. Contrary to manned missions that require a helicopter or human team to inspect lines, a UAS can collect data in a fraction of the time and mitigate the potential for injury. Through a wireless downlink, this data can be viewed in real-time by utility workers, and data can be transferred to the utility company post-flight in a manner of minutes.

Capability

UAS service providers such as Skynetwest LLC are capable of producing quality data regarding the system health of the entire power grid. Multispectral data gives utility companies the capability of seeing the full picture behind the equipment. A multi axis gimbal, combined with a complex integrated autopilot and gyroscope yields accurate photogrammetry that is difficult to parallel, even with manned aerial operations. Side by side HD 30x zoom photos and thermal infrared imagery give the utility inspection team an unparalleled ability to determine the functional status of LTC compartments, cogeneration refractories, field exciters and a multitude of other electrical components.

Assessment of overhead lines and substations system health in real-time or with minimal delay allows utility management to quickly plan and execute necessary repairs, while reducing the need for hands-on inspection of functional components. This data provides an updated view of the power grid that is pivotal in making decisions for future revisions, and can be done without costly service interruptions. Additionally, the high resolution data can be used to make more accurate management decisions with respect to vegetation control and frequency of inspections. Several scans done over different times of day to differentiate power demand allow adjustments to cost scheduling as the service provider sees fit. Unlike overhead power lines, substations present a unique risk when inspections are necessary. However, multirotor UASs are capable of hovering above the substation, gathering data from multiple perspectives without the need to enter the substation.

A critical factor in electrical grid inspection is the time and resource commitment required for inspection. While best estimates put manned power pole inspection at approximately 8 to 12 poles per day of work per team, UAS service providers like Skynetwest LLC are able to carry out inspections at an average of 8 to 20 poles in a single flight revolution, lasting approximately 20 minutes. Substation inspection requires only two 20 minute flights to acquire all the imagery needed to determine system health. The increased rate of inspection, which includes both IR and standard RGB imagery, adds to the attractiveness of an unmanned aerial system for utilities inspection. This time reduction equates to more efficient and reliable power service for end users, and limits the potential for dangerous exposure to high voltage equipment.

Safety

Safety with respect to utility inspection is of paramount importance; as a professional UAS flight service provider, Skynetwest LLC parallels this commitment to safety. A professional grade UAS, combined with an advanced safety management system allows Skynetwest LLC to inspect utility components with the highest level of safety.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2015 Study, Electrical power line installers and repairers were listed in the top 10 occupations with high workplace fatalities. Falls to a lower level also ranked second in the potential for workplace fatalities. Electric service providers have made marked improvements in safety in recent years, but use of a UAS to inspect electrical grids all but eliminates the need for workers to elevate themselves above ground level for inspection.

Contrary to hobby or photography grade ‘drones’, professional UAS such as the Falcon 8+ are equipped with redundant autopilot and data links that limit the possibility of crashing. Onboard sensors and shielding detect and limit electromagnetic interference, prohibiting the UAS from being negatively affected during flights near EM field generating components common in the electrical grid. The Ground Control Station (GCS), as opposed to an ordinary remote control, relays flight information to the operator(s) who can act accordingly, piloting or landing the aircraft in the event a signal loss is inevitable.

Complementing the UAS and GCS is a commitment for safety executed via a safety management system (SMS) and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Skynetwest LLC has dedicated time and testing to create a system of positive crew coordination and has practiced emergency scenarios that encompass a broad variety of situations that go well past those found in a standard UAS operator manual. The SMS and SOPs are rigorous mandates for UAS operators that supplement FAA part 107 regulations, and are embedded through detailed pilot and crewmember training regimens executed by Skynetwest LLC.

Results

Continued increase in electricity demands on the NEC electric substations and transmission lines require high quality inspections to maintain operational status. As witnessed during the NEC demonstration, Skynetwest LLC can provide enhanced data with respect to electric grid infrastructure components. The Falcon 8+, with its ability to perform upward and downward facing views of all system components as well as IR and RGB overlays is a leap forward in utilities inspection. Complimentary time reduction, combined with an impeccable safety record rewards the industry with venerable a successor to standard power inspections performed by manned teams. Skynetwest LLC and NEC represent viable partners that have taken a leap forward in utilities maintenance that promote reduced time and resource consumption, an impeccable safety record, and enhanced data.

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, May 31, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Siborg Systems Inc. interviewed with Kat Zeman of Manufacturing Today about Siborg’s future. Michael Obrecht, the company’s director, spoke about a new model of the popular LCR-Reader releasing in 2018 and how the company is refocusing on their software.

LCR-Reader LCR- and ESR-meter is a fully automatic multimeter with a 0.5% basic accuracy and high-speed component identification and testing. The lightweight device will automatically determine the type of component when held between the gold-plated tweezers. The device displays all information, including component type, test frequency, main impedance value and any secondary values, such as the ESR, instantaneously on a built in OLED display. The device comes with an NIST traceable calibration certificate.

LCR-Reader quickly surpassed the Smart Tweezers devices as Siborg’s best selling test tool; this popularity was in part of the low cost. Michael Obrecht speaks of a new model of the device that will be available in the summer of 2018. “It will be a much more powerful multimeter, less bulky and more fine tuned. We have improved on the LCR-Reader’s appearance, performance and functionality.” The device will have a higher price than the LCR-Reader-MP, but will have more features, including a one-volt signal component testing for ceramic capacitors and a three-volt LED test mode. The device will also have a lower signal-to-noise ratio which will improve accuracy while testing lower value capacitance and inductances.

Obrecht speaks about Siborg refocusing on the software side of the company, “In a way, our hardware killed our software. We have a couple ideas for new, very fast software tools for thermal design. We want to enhance the functionality of MicroTec including the thermal analysis built into the semiconductor device simulator. It’s sold to a lot of educational markets and to semiconductor manufacturers.”

MicroTec is a semiconductor process and device simulator used by over 100 universities and 35 companies worldwide. It is an easy-to-use, computationally extensive program for simulations for power semiconductor devices with large dimensions or solar cells. It is also particularly useful for devices built with SiC and other wide band gap material. It combines 3 main software tools (SemSim, SiDif and SibGraf) and is great for prototyping, says Obrecht. “They do the simulation first and then if the resulting semiconductor device is not operating correctly, they can modify the virtual fabrication process. This is very similar to the actual fab environment where test runs are done routinely, but it does not cost much money to make a virtual iteration unlike the real fab test run.” The program is also faster and more robust and can run on only a few megabytes of RAM, unlike other similar programs.

Siborg’s director goes on to talk about the company’s ability to create custom software tools and the ability to quickly modify MicroTec for customers. “We serve pretty much anybody that does work on electronic circuit boards. It’s a very wide community. Smaller companies are an ideal choice for MicroTec. Maybe it can do 90% of what they want. Well, we can quickly do modifications to the software and that’s very important to them. Plus, we offer 24/7 software support, which is a much higher level than our competitors.”

Siborg also offers SibLin, a linear solver for matrices arising in 2-D and 3-D finite difference solutions of various partial differential equations such as Poisson, heat transfer and diffusion-drift.

Some of the other hardware Siborg offers is the Kelvin Probe Connector kit which turns any LCR-Reader, LCR-Reader-MP or Smart Tweezers device into a full probe station and allows the multimeter to measure components larger than the tweezers would normally allow. This kit comes with 5 different attachments (2 sizes of pin-probes, multimeter jack plugs, spade connector and alligator clips). It is particularly useful when used with MP’s oscilloscope mode which allows users to measure different wave-forms at various nodes on a PCB.

Siborg also offers a Bluetooth model of Smart Tweezers that is able to connect with computers, Android and iOS devices. When a measurement is done, the device will send a comma separated chain of values representing what the device has identified, including main and secondary impedance values, test frequency, mode, component type, etc. This information can be received by different programs and, depending on the program, can be saved to a file, database or other for later review. This is a helpful feature for incoming quality control. An update to the device last year allows for information to be sent and received to and from the Smart Tweezers. With this, users can create custom profiles that set limits; when a component is tested, the program will determine if it fits the profile and can issue a pass or fail.

Visit the LCR-Reader Store to see all of the hardware Siborg System Inc. offers and to take part of the promotional sale. The interview is published in Manufacturing Today, Volume 18, Issue 3.

Chertsey, United Kingdom, May 31, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Panda Security, the leading Spanish Company for advanced cybersecurity, held the first occurrence of its Panda Security Summit (#PASS2018) on Friday 18 May, in the Goya Theatre in Madrid. The event, which gathered over 400 delegates, comprising CISOs, CIOs and IT Influencers of large companies from Spain, as well as the rest of Europe, served as an analytical framework for the latest cybersecurity trends, both in terms of attacks and protection, as well as the overall state of the sector.

The main focus of the event was cyber-resilience, a concept which was identified as key for business security in the latest anti-malware lab report from PandaLabs, and which was presented within the framework of #PASS2018. This report gathers predictions, trend analysis, and case studies of business cybersecurity, along with other crucial data, in order to understand and apply resilience at an organizational level. The attendees also witnessed how governments, large companies, and SOCs develop their cyber-resilience strategies.

The first speaker of #PASS2018 was Ian McShane, Research Director of Gartner. In his speech, he explained that the challenge for 2019 is to reinforce prevention, especially in endpoint protection strategy. “The Endpoint needs something more than an antivirus; endpoint detection and response (EDR) technologies are the key, as they offer a traceability which is indispensable for analysis and prevention. But these technologies aren’t going to replace humans; we still need analysts,” he explained.

Javier Candau, head of the National Cryptologic Centre (CNN-CERT) focused on the challenge of cybersecurity in Spain. After outlining the roll of the Centre – to protect official systems and structures – he indicated that one of the main challenges facing the country in this area is the strengthening of the National Security Framework.

The conference continued with Nicola Esposito, director of the CyberSOC EMEA Center at Deloitte, who explained that protection against advanced cyber threats is a key factor for the company. “Nevertheless,” he went on to say, “It’s vital for companies to have a strategy to be resilient in case something happens.” Esposito also detailed the keys of Deloitte’s work in cybersecurity, highlighting factors such as the application of threat intelligence platforms, the creation of threat detection controls, and perimeter monitoring with automated alerts, but always with a fundamental role played by humans.

Finally, the director of the PandaLabs, Pedro Uría, put forth the keys for business security, protection and resilience, now that malware is no longer the problem. Instead, hackers are the future challenge to cybersecurity, as they use more complex methods. “New attacks, like those that don’t use malware, are the target of threat hunting services, such as those offered by the Panda Adaptive Defense platform,” explained Uría.

The large turnout, the prestige of its speakers, and the importance of the subjects discussed all mean that the Panda Security Summit has been cemented as the benchmark for CISOs and CIOs of large companies in Europe.

PandaLabs Report
The report "Cyber-resilience: the key to business security," presented by PandaLabs at #PASS2018, reflects the fact that the increase in the volume and severity of cyber-incidents detected by the majority of companies has meant an increase in detection and response times in 57% of cases.

Mumbai, India, June 01, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Smart Sight Innovations, a Mumbai based IT company, announced further refinements in its Maintenance Tracking System launched earlier to help service providers communicate better with customers. The company has been working on this product and now announces further refinements.

Speaking on the latest refinements, a senior official of the company said that MTTS now incorporates a history feature. Once a service provider starts using MTTS, which is a cloud-based SaaS offering, it automatically maintains a historical log of all actions and transactions as well as communications. Asked as to how this helps service providers, he clarified that service providers are a busy lot and have regular customers. They may or may not maintain paper records but MTTS is accessible on their smartphones and whenever a regular customer calls, they can access the history to know the past services rendered and the issues and thereby respond better. They can also view the communications that have taken place in the past. What makes MTTS history feature so attractive is that in cases where service providers offer various different services, such as service records, and related communication are maintained separately in the history section so that accessing precise information becomes simplified. “We are sure the history feature will be a welcome addition and be of extensive use as a customer service tool.”

Another feature that has been added to MTTS, he continued, is that it is possible for users to establish chat connection from within the app instead of using an external chat or email tool. This greatly simplifies communication and helps in faster and better communication. Emails can also be sent from within MTTS tool as a way to send offers or to send confirmation. This will reduce time and effort on the part of service providers since they do not have to switch applications. A simple button press is all that is needed to initiate a chat or create an email message.

Suppose a client calls. The service provider can launch MTTS on his desktop or smartphone and access history with just one click or tap on the screen. He can then initiate a chat with the client through the app or even send email to make an offer or resolve an issue or fix an appointment.

The spokesperson of the company said, “MTTS is gaining traction in the Indian market as more and more IT savvy service providers working in construction, electrical and residential segments realize its benefits and are adopting it. Given how affordable it is and how much it helps them in their business, it would not be surprising to see even greater adoption in the time to come. We are planning to make MTTS even better and more advanced as well as easy to use. It monitors feedbacks from users. Our team is working to make it innovative making MTTS a complete package.”

Taipei, Taiwan, June 01, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Computex Taipei 2018 begins on June 5. MemxPro, a leading DRAM module and SSD solution provider for defense, industrial, in-vehicle, and enterprise markets, is announcing that its exhibition theme is “Accelerating Intelligence at the Edge for Storage Applications, Managing Storage Devices from the Cloud.” The complete hardware–software integration is aimed at satisfying customer application needs. MemxPro is set to reveal the new PCIe B4J/B4L series, including the industry-first PCIe Gen 3x4 M.2 2242 SSD. MemxPro will also launch its high-speed DDR4-2666 DRAM module with standard (0~85oC), extended (-25~85oC) and industrial (-40~85oC) wide temperature options. Targeting rapidly developing IoT and edge computing devices, the new product series is designed for a PCIe interface, which provides excellent IOPS and low-latency performance, reducing boot times and offering a faster data transfer rate. At the same time, MemxPro is also upgrading its stand-alone SMARTPro device-monitoring tool to a cloud-based version: the Internet of SMARTPro (IoS). This will allow for the timely management and control of all MemxPro storage devices within a user’s corporate intranet or private cloud.

New PCIe/NVMe Storage and High-Speed Memory Module Solutions Boost Steady Edge Computing Data Processing

Edge computing is critical for IoT because it means faster response times as well as increased reliability and security as edge computing devices are closer to each other. Edge equipment includes mobile devices, smart terminals (e.g., gateways), surveillance camera, and other IoT devices. Among the most notable AI and machine-learning storage trends, the use of memory and flash is predicted to increase. High-speed PCIe storage devices have prevailed in enterprise-class servers, and now PCIe SSD requirements have extended to edge devices for faster data storage and transmission. To meet this shift, MemxPro’s new PCIe/NVMe SSD has been designed to satisfy high-storage performance needs for IoT edge computing applications such as those in smart manufacturing, in-vehicle transportation, healthcare, retail, and surveillance.

Viewing the development trend of SSD controllers and 3D NAND, MemxPro announces the new NVMe PCIe B4J/B4L product series. The form factors include 2.5” U.2 PCIe, M.2 PCIe 2280, and M.2 PCIe 2242. In addition to supporting legacy Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) at the logical interface level, the M.2 specification also supports NVM Express (NVMe) as the logical device interface for M.2 PCIe SSDs. While the support for AHCI ensures software-level backward compatibility with legacy SATA devices and operating systems, NVM Express is designed to fully utilize the capability of high-speed PCIe storage devices to perform many I/O operations in parallel. The whole new series is targeted for release in the fourth quarter of 2018 and will be equipped with the latest high-density 3D NAND. A prototype of this product will debut at Computex.

MemxPro’s high-speed mainstream DRAM DDR4-2666 modules align with JEDEC standard to achieve 2666 MHz without having to overclock RAM, and these modules are compatible with most mainstream CPUs and motherboards.
