HoloMem Partners With QStar Technologies on New Revolutionary Cold Storage Technology
DENVER, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HoloMem, developers of future fit cold data storage technology, and QStar Technologies Inc, the leader in archive management software, today announced a strategic partnership to develop joint solutions for the worldwide archive storage market. For the last 40 years, QStar has developed software for all leading archive technologies that have come to market, from CD Recordable and Magneto Optical to LTO tape and cloud storage. QStar software is used in many verticals, including HPC / AI, Media and Entertainment, Video Surveillance, Healthcare, Space and Satellite Agencies, Government Bodies and others. QStar software provides front-end interfaces for users and applications to send data that is then stored on one or more archive technologies including S3, SMB and NFS and can be installed on Windows or Linux servers. HoloMem is a leading data storage technology company that is developing the first commercially available holographic storage technology. Its HoloDrive uses infinitely readable holograms to store data at ultra high density on abundantly available polymer material. Because there are no temperature or humidity controls required, there is zero energy used in storage, throughout the technology's proven 50+ year lifespan. HoloDrive will also have vastly improved capacity on the latest version of LTO, reaching up to 200TB in a cartridge. As HoloDrive is backwards compatible, and designed to be plug and play, this partnership will see QStar integrate Archive Manager (single server) and Global ArchiveSpace (multi-server) products with HoloMem drives and media to allow prospective customers to test early release product in their own environments. HoloMem's solution has been designed to integrate with legacy systems with minimal hardware or software disruption. QStar is a founding partner of the Active Archive Alliance, and HoloMem is a supporting member of the Digital Preservation Coalition. HoloMem is also a member of SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association), an organization that promotes technologies related to the storage, transport, optimization of infrastructure, acceleration, format, and data protection. Charlie Gale, co-founder and CEO of HoloMem, said, "Today's technology can't cope with the world's exponential data creation. We have developed a future fit holographic data storage technology to help bring the industry back from this crisis point. We're very proud to be partnering with QStar Technologies to see our technology deployed and integrated across their existing architecture, and we're excited to see their customers benefit from this infinitely readable, low cost and low energy data storage solution." Riccardo Finotti, CEO and President of QStar Technologies, said, "As leaders in enterprise-class archive management solutions, we understand the vast data storage requirements of modern business. With the increase of data creation driven by new technologies, such as AI and machine learning, the industry needed a step-change. HoloMem's unique holographic technology will allow us to deliver the best low cost and low energy storage solutions to our customers, without ripping up existing architecture. This is a very exciting partnership, not just for us, but for the future of archive management and cold data storage." About QStar Technologies QStar Technologies is a leading global provider of enterprise-class archive and data management software solutions. QStar software is a key element in creating 'Active Archive' solutions. Our software virtualizes any archive technology behind a file system or S3 compatible interface, making the entire archive appear as one or more NAS disks or cloud buckets. About HoloMem Today's technology can't cope with the world's explosive data creation. HoloMem has built a future fit cold data storage technology that uses holograms to store data at ultra high density with zero energy, and is infinitely readable. Created by a serial entrepreneur and former design engineer at Dyson, HoloMem provides a plug and play solution for data managers using current libraries, but is considerably cheaper to operate and will hold up to 200TB per cartridge.

Wheel of Time cancelled: Fans furious over uncompleted story, threaten to cancel Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video has confirmed it will not renew The Wheel of Time for a fourth season, leaving fans outraged and the beloved fantasy story far from complete. The cancellation comes after lengthy discussions between Prime Video and co-producers Sony Pictures TV, reportedly due to the show's high production costs and underwhelming financial returns. Based on Robert Jordan's acclaimed book series, The Wheel of Time follows a sprawling fantasy world brought to life with a cast led by Rosamund Pike. Despite a rocky start during its first two seasons—marked by controversy over changes from the source material—Season 3 was praised for finally capturing the spirit of the books. Yet, even with critical improvement and a growing fanbase, Prime Video deemed the show's cost too great to justify another season. This decision has sparked intense frustration among fans who were eager to see the saga continue, especially as Season 3 ended with much of the story left unresolved. Many viewers lamented on X (formerly Twitter), expressing disappointment over an abrupt end to a story they had invested years in following. Fuck @PrimeVideo for cancelling wheel of time. I'm about to pirate all their shit going forward. — KiNG ★ DuECe (@KingDueceND) May 23, 2025 Canceling my subscription button — Spiel Times Deals • Price Error & Drop Alerts (@spieltimes) May 23, 2025 They finally got the show on the right track in Season 3 and then they cancel it.. Stupid. — Fl0yd_Xma$ (@Th3MetaM1nd) May 23, 2025 Streaming really is the death of creative and unique shows. Wheel of Time should have had way more than 3 seasons. The acting was phenomenal and the story was really getting good. RIP to non mainstream fantasy and magic. — bryce (@cloaksanchor) May 23, 2025 Canceling wheel of time but the have money for rubbish like the summer I turned pretty Wallahi, people should lose their jobs for this rubbish — 𝕰𝖔𝖜𝖞𝖓♱ (@rageofgreenajah) May 23, 2025 97% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes for S3, enthusiastic reviews everywhere in the press about S3, it's still in the top10 for different countries, 157 257 signatures to #SaveWoT and yet @PrimeVideo cancelled #wheeloftime ? — OurNunsAndScientistWereActuallyNotSaved (@NunsAndTheirDr) May 23, 2025 The cancellation also comes amid Amazon MGM Studios' broader strategy, as it manages other expensive projects like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Despite the series' end on screen, The Wheel of Time universe will live on through an upcoming 'AAA Open-World RPG' game currently in development. However, for fans of the show, the sudden halt means waiting longer for closure on a narrative that has now been left hanging.

TLDM says acquisition of USV Swift Sea Stalker set to bolster maritime defence
LANGKAWI: The Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) today received a Swift Sea Stalker (S3) Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) from Swiftships, a Los Angeles, US-based company. This acquisition is set to bolster TLDM's capabilities in maritime defence. In a statement, the TLDM announced that the S3 USV, a surface uncrewed platform, will provide an advantage to the TLDM fleet by enhancing maritime warfare capabilities in terms of surveillance and intelligence activities. 'This platform can be equipped with weaponry that increases deterrence in maritime warfare,' the statement read. 'The reception of the S3 opens new opportunities for TLDM to explore uncrewed platforms, which can also support the vision of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), especially in the Future Force Development Plan,' it added. The symbolic handover ceremony took place at the Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) Pavilion at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC), where the Chief of Navy, Admiral Datuk Zulhelmy Ithnain, represented the TLDM, while Swiftships was represented by its Executive Vice President, Kristina Paskeviciute.
