Garrett Installs More Than 160 Paragons in Memphis Schools

Published

on

GARLAND, Texas, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Texas-based Garrett Metal Detectors – in partnership with DVS Solutions – announced that its new Paragon walk-through metal detector (released 2023) attained a significant competitive victory in a bid for security upgrades for Memphis Shelby County Schools. More than 160 Paragons were installed across 100 or more ISD locations over the last month.

Garrett’s best-in-class 66-zone Paragon security detector achieved the win due to rigorous analysis by district security. “After extensive side-by-side comparison with multiple [competitor] systems, we felt the Paragon was the best system to meet our needs,” said Carolyn Jackson, the Memphis Shelby County Schools Chief of Safety and Security.

“Paragon will match and exceed the competition for power and flexibility,” added US Security Sales Director Chris Parker. “Weapons detectors need to be able to catch the threats that schools care about if they want to sell to schools. Paragon can go the distance, catching the threats our competitors can’t at half the cost or less.”

Paragon is the first of Garrett’s walkthroughs to come with 4 distinct screening programs specialized for school applications, and its industry-exclusive Ambiscan feature and Zero Touch NFC capability make it a market leader for ease-of-use in the ever-changing world of school security.

DataCore Strengthens Hyperconverged Infrastructure Leadership Across Edge, Remote Offices, and Small Business Markets with the Acquisition of StarWind

Published

By

The addition of StarWind expands DataCore’s reach in hyperconverged infrastructure capabilities to edge environments – building on its proven expertise in core data centers.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataCore Software, a leader in data infrastructure and management solutions, today announced its acquisition of StarWind Software, a trusted brand in hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) for edge and remote office/branch office (ROBO) environments, serving the unique requirements of small and mid-sized businesses. The acquisition extends DataCore’s reach beyond the core data center, enabling the delivery of streamlined, software-defined HCI solutions across highly distributed operations.

As businesses generate increasing volumes of mission-critical data at the edge, the need for simplified, scalable infrastructure has become a top priority. Gartner estimates that around 75% of enterprise data globally will be created and processed outside of traditional data centers. This shift is evident across numerous scenarios including retail chains processing in-store analytics, manufacturers preventing equipment failures with real-time monitoring, healthcare providers managing distributed patient data, and financial institutions requiring branch-level transaction processing. With StarWind’s technology, DataCore addresses these demands by offering a unified approach to HCI that reduces complexity and enhances operational efficiency across heterogeneous architectures.

The combined company now offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive storage portfolios – spanning block, file, S3 object, and container-native storage. This broader scope aligns with DataCore.NEXT, the company’s strategic vision to support diverse workloads and deployment models across core, edge, and cloud environments through flexible, best-of-breed software-defined solutions.

“This acquisition represents a significant leap toward realizing our DataCore.NEXT vision,” said Dave Zabrowski, CEO of DataCore. “Merging our strengths with StarWind’s trusted edge and ROBO expertise allows us to deliver reliable HCI that works seamlessly from central data centers to the most remote locations. We are focused on giving organizations greater choice, control, and a more straightforward path for managing data wherever it resides.”

Managing IT across branch, remote, and edge locations brings growing pressure to do more with fewer resources. With tighter budgets and limited onsite staff, organizations demand resilient, low-footprint platforms that are easy to deploy and manage. The joint capabilities of DataCore and StarWind directly address this need, providing an attractive alternative to legacy HCI approaches.

Virtual Effect, a long-standing DataCore partner, welcomed the news of the acquisition. “We love the DataCore.NEXT vision, which optimizes how customers manage data across core, cloud, and edge environments,” said John Greenwood, Chief Strategy Officer at Virtual Effect. “DataCore already leads the industry with one of the broadest software-defined storage portfolios. The addition of StarWind brings another best-in-class solution into the fold, further strengthening their edge offerings and reinforcing their commitment to customer agility and infrastructure independence.”

“Joining the DataCore family allows us to bring our high-performance virtual SAN technology to a wider audience,” said Anton Kolomyeytsev, CEO of StarWind. “With growing uncertainty around Broadcom-VMware’s vSAN licensing and pricing—particularly in distributed and cost-sensitive environments – organizations are rethinking their infrastructure strategies. Together with DataCore, we are delivering greater flexibility, performance, and freedom from hardware and hypervisor lock-in without compromising simplicity or control.”

Ctrl Alt and Dubai Land Department Go Live with Tokenized Real Estate, Forecasts $16B Market by 2033

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, May 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leading tokenization infrastructure platform, Ctrl Alt has been announced as the tokenization partner for Dubai Land Department’s (DLD) pioneering Real Estate Tokenization Project. Launched today, the initiative in collaboration with the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the Dubai Future Foundation and PRYPCO, marks a monumental step for asset tokenization and the future of property investment in the Emirate.

As the designated tokenization provider for the project, Ctrl Alt brings deep expertise in financial engineering and digital asset infrastructure. The DLD and Ctrl Alt have worked closely together on the development of a secure and compliant tokenization framework, focusing on structuring, minting and placing real estate title deed tokens on-chain. The XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized layer 1 blockchain renowned for its decade-long reliability and stability in tokenizing and exchanging digital and real-world assets, has been selected as the blockchain of choice for the project. Additionally, Ctrl Alt has integrated directly with the DLD to synchronize both digital and traditional real estate ledgers, ensuring coordination between the on-chain and the conventional property registration system. This enables a fully integrated and transparent tokenization process that aligns with local regulations and enhances investor confidence.

The project has been developed under the Real Estate Evolution Space Initiative (REES) and marks the first time in the Middle East that a government real estate registration authority has implemented a public blockchain-based tokenization of property title deeds. With this move, the DLD is leading the charge toward a more accessible, transparent and efficient real estate market, enabling fractional ownership, broadening investor participation and enhancing operational efficiency.

By leveraging native tokenization, ownership of real estate has been fractionalized, allowing multiple investors to co-own a single property. This is achieved through the PRYPCO Mint real estate platform, which is now live and allows investors to participate with a starting minimum investment of AED 2,000. EID holders are able to participate at mint.prypco.com.

The initiative is projected to contribute to the growth of an AED 60 billion ($16 billion) tokenized real estate market by 2033, equivalent to 7% of Dubai’s total property transactions.

Matt Ong, CEO and Founder, Ctrl Alt said, “We’ve been working closely with the DLD on this project for some time, and we’re delighted to be taking this major step together to bring real estate investment to a wider audience. As experts in the space, we are proud to create the tokenization infrastructure that enables DLD’s partners to offer fractional real estate to investors. Dubai’s leadership in embracing next-generation financial technologies is truly world-class and this project is a powerful signal of what’s to come. We’re thrilled to launch this pilot and continue building with DLD in the months ahead.”

This strategic initiative aligns with the objectives of Dubai’s Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033 and the broader Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), both of which prioritize the adoption of digital solutions to boost economic competitiveness, attract global investment and modernize key sectors.

About Ctrl Alt

Ctrl Alt is a leading tokenization infrastructure platform, combining blockchain technology with expert financial engineering to deliver tailored, compliant solutions in the alternative assets space. As of May 1, 2025, Ctrl Alt has tokenized over $295 million in assets, spanning real estate, private credit, funds, litigation finance and more.
