Thales's new Onboard Data Center wins prestigious Crystal Cabin Award
Thales has been honored with the prestigious Crystal Cabin Award for its Onboard Data Center, a breakthrough innovation in cabin systems, materials, and components. The award, presented at the Aircraft Interiors Expo on June 6, 2023, recognizes cutting-edge advancements that shape the future of air travel.
The Onboard Data Center introduces a hyper-converged architecture with six patented technologies, optimizing storage and computing capabilities. Its blade-based design allows for flexible upgrades, ensuring adaptability to airline needs while providing 10 times more storage than traditional IFE servers. Additionally, its 99.99% availability ensures seamless passenger experience even in case of partial system failure.
This revolutionary technology enables real-time resource optimization, cloud-based software deployment in under 12 hours, and cyber-secured virtualization, eliminating the need for extensive physical lab testing.
