VTRO Motors launched ‘EV ecosystem incubator’, their pioneering AI based SaaS solutions, designed with suitable customization for both battery makers and EV vehicle manufactures. This AI based SaaS offering is the first of its kind to be developed in India and will help the EV sector to monitor battery consumption, battery life cycle, consumer usage patterns etc. and similar data points for EV vehicles, which will help manufacturers to improve customization, lower costs and become better connected to consumers. In addition to the software solutions, VTRO also has the scalable charging station infrastructure hardware solutions, which makes a complete implementable EV ecosystem package for any EV player to use. The entire offering will be rolled out in three phases over the next three – four months.
Pranit Parekar Co-founder & CTO, VTRO Motors Pvt ltd said, “When we developed the software solutions and the charging station infrastructure scalable model, we realized that it would be capital intensive and over strenuous for us to implement it all by ourselves. Secondly, the entire innovative solutions would remain only within our network and not benefit the community at large. So, we decided to pivot our strategy and add a layer of customization to the SaaS offering so that we can collaborate with other EV players in the market in order to build a more efficient, sustainable and economical EV ecosystem. Today we do not have any holistic market intelligence or real time reports on the usage and performance of EVs or batteries or intuitive tracker for consumer preference and needs. We hope our AI solutions will help bridge this gap of market insight in order to enhance the demand-supply chain. We plan to roll out the EV solutions program in three phases – first being an AI SaaS solution for EV batteries, followed by the solutions for EV vehicles and lastly the charging station hardware support.”
The Why
The EV sector in India is currently valued at $4B and expected to go to $20B over the next 5 years. The domestic EV batteries segment is valued at $1.5B and will hit $8B in the next 5 years. SaaS solutions will help in improving the overall EV sector and mobilizing the next phase of growth drivers for this burgeoning sector, especially its foray into the non-metros and Tier 3 – 4 markets.

Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ: QMCO), which provides solutions for video and unstructured data, announced Quantum Myriad™, an all-flash, scale-out file and object storage software platform for the enterprise. Leveraging advances in application frameworks and design that were not available even a few years ago, Myriad’s modern cloud-native architecture makes it an easy-to-use solution that overcomes the limitations of hardware-centric designs and enables customers to adapt to future storage needs while reducing the burden on over-extended IT staff.
“To keep pace with data growth, the industry has “thrown hardware” at the problem,” says Brian Pawlowski, chief development officer, Quantum. “Integrating feedback from customers, partners and industry analysts on what’s missing from current solutions in market, we took a totally different approach with Myriad, and the result is the architecture I’ve wanted to build for 20 years. Myriad is incredibly simple, incredibly adaptable storage software for an unpredictable future.”
“To power the next era of digital business, we need an evolution in storage that removes the constraints from yesterday’s data center,” said Dave Pearson, research vice president, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group for IDC. “For new demanding workloads, low latency and tremendous IOPS are required, along with increased scalability and native cloud interoperability to power the next wave of applications.”
“Myriad is immediately relevant for many of our customers who are investing in all-flash storage systems,” said Troy Watson, vice president and general manager, Central Region, of Quantum partner Trace3. “It is a truly modern design and further strengthens Quantum’s portfolio of solutions for unstructured data. We look forward to partnering with Quantum to help bring this innovative solution to market.”
The Why
More than double the amount of data will be created in the next five years than was in the previous ten, according to IDC*. Yet most enterprises continue to store this data on systems that were designed 20 years ago and cannot take advantage of the latest flash and memory technologies available today. Even more recent all-flash file and object storage solutions rely on specialized hardware and won’t run natively in the cloud, leading to trade-offs, compromises, and complexity.
Myriad solves these challenges with an all new shared-nothing architecture designed for the latest flash technologies to deliver consistent low-latency performance at any scale.

Cymulate, a cybersecurity risk validation and exposure management company expanded its Attack Surface Management (ASM) solution to close gaps between traditional vulnerability management and ASM. Organizations will now have advanced capabilities to easily visualize risky exposures across hybrid environments. The company achieves this by extending its coverage to include more attack surface discovery and added misconfiguration detection, Cloud-specific analysis, and vulnerability discovery. Previously only for external attack surface management, the new enhancements will analyze Active Directory, Azure, GCP, and AWS Cloud footprints for misconfigurations and remediable security concerns.
“Customers will immediately benefit from seeing gaps in their public-facing infrastructure and through attack path mapping to see how an attacker can traverse the network from on-premises to cloud and cloud to on-premises,” said Avihai Ben-Yossef, CTO and Co-founder. “This will significantly aid organizations in assessing how at risk their organization’s assets are.”
The Why
The driving factors for these enhancements center on the growing use of cloud computing, remote workforce, and third-party services; which are expanding organizations’ attack surface and creating numerous challenges in identifying and tracking assets across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud infrastructure; and in managing and securing all exposed assets. Additionally, the inability to evaluate risk posed by each asset, the proliferation of unmonitored assets such as legacy infrastructure and shadow IT add to the complexity of controlling networks; compounding risk, especially when scaling operations.
Vulnerability scanners are designed to identify, classify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities that could be exploited – primarily from within the environment. Conversely, attack surface management has mainly focused on discovery of vulnerabilities from an external perspective. This Cymulate solution now closes the visibility gap needed to understand if an exposure has a viable attack path, if security controls detect and alert effectively, and validating that remediations achieve the desired risk mitigation. This brings exposure management to a new level that is more continuous and efficient for classifying and prioritizing the remediation of vulnerabilities.
