  • MIL-OSI: LNG Energy Group Announces Cease Trade Order

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LNG Energy Group Corp. (TSXV: LNGE) (TSXV: LNGE.WT) (OTCQB: LNGNF) (FWB: E26) (the “Company” or “LNG Energy Group”) announces that, further to the news release dated May 7, 2025, the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), has notified the Company that it has issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (“FFCTO”), under Multilateral Instrument 11-103 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders in Multiple Jurisdictions against the Company (“MI 11-103”). The FFCTO was issued as a result of the delay in the filing of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the related management’s discussion and analysis, and the CEO and CFO certificates relating to the audited annual financial statements as required by National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (collectively, the “Required Documents”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

    As stated in the Company’s news release dated May 7, 2025, the Company was unable to file the Required Documents prior to the April 30, 2025 filing deadline. LNG Energy Group continues to work diligently with its auditors and expects to file the Required Documents within two months of the filing deadline. The Company anticipates that the FFCTO will remain in place until such time as the Required Documents are filed.

    The FFTCO prohibits any trading, whether direct or indirect, in respect of any security of the Company in which MI 11-103 applies, except in accordance with the FFCTO, until such time as the Company is able to file the Required Documents and successfully apply for a revocation of the FFCTO. If the Required Documents are filed within 90 days of the date of the FFCTO, such filings will constitute the Company’s application to have the FFCTO revoked. There can be no assurance that the FFCTO will be revoked on the timeline contemplated by the Company.

  • MIL-OSI: Farmasiet, Norway’s largest online pharmacy, signs Agillic for advanced customer engagement

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Press release – Copenhagen, 12 May 2025 – Agillic A/S 

    The Norwegian online pharmacy, Farmasiet, signs Agillic for advanced customer engagement to explore untapped business potential.

    Farmasiet is Norway’s largest online pharmacy, delivering thousands of both prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs and commodities throughout Norway and with pharmacists available online for fast and convenient expert advice.

    Confident about the business value and potential of more advanced customer engagement, Farmasiet concluded they would need a new platform to deliver on their ambitions. The search was largely influenced by two key criteria: the technology should enable their advanced ideas, and they would need a European solution to ensure full compliance on data privacy and security.

    Farmasiet decided on Agillic and in just six weeks, they launched a tailored solution including eCommerce integration, advanced customer journeys, product feeds, mobile optimisation, and more.

    Hilde Andersen-Gott, CTO at Farmasiet, explains the choice of Agillic: “We are convinced there is an untapped business potential and essentially chose Agillic because the platform enables us to execute on our ideas and capitalise on that potential – now and as we scale our ambitions further. Compliance was a given and with Agillic’s flexibility, ‘tailored’ did not mean compromising on time to market.”

    Christian Samsø, CEO at Agillic, adds: “We are quite proud of welcoming Farmasiet. They had set a high bar for how a platform should empower their ideas to deliver on the business potential, and our platform checked all the boxes from compliance to the ability to scale customer journeys.”

  • MIL-OSI: Beamr Issues Q1-2025 CEO Letter to Shareholders: Experiencing Rising Demand for Our Technology Across Key Verticals

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    In Q1 2025, Beamr expanded sales pipelines amid growing traction from large-scale prospects, engaged in major industry events, and continued innovation in cloud and product offerings

    Herzliya, Israel, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beamr Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today issued a Letter to Shareholders from Sharon Carmel, Chief Executive Officer.

    Dear Shareholders:

    I am pleased to share with you our Q1-2025 activities, progress, and other recent updates, including the expansion of our sales initiatives, supported by growing traction from large-scale prospective customers, participation in leading industry events where we engaged with hundreds of attendees, and continued advancement of our strategic partnerships.

    Q1 2025 Highlights  – Capitalizing on Market Validation:

    Scaling Our Sales Pipelines

    Beamr’s value proposition continues to gain traction across verticals where video is central to business activity and its usage is growing rapidly. Our technology addresses critical challenges associated with large-scale video workflows, including storage, networking, and operational efficiency. These challenges are particularly acute in markets such as media and entertainment, user-generated content, and machine learning sectors, including internet-of-things and autonomous vehicles.

    During Q1 2025 and into early Q2 2025, Beamr expanded its sales team by adding two U.S.-based sales managers to strengthen outreach and responsiveness in our key geographic market. The company’s executives and sales directors conducted more than 130 face-to-face meetings with existing and prospective customers, as well as strategic partners. A significant portion of these meetings took place at three premier industry events: ACM Mile-High-Video 2025, NVIDIA GTC 2025, and the NAB Show 2025. During these engagements, Beamr showcased its high-quality, high-performance, GPU-accelerated video solutions, enabling efficient AI-powered video enhancements. 

    In the coming months, we aim to build on the expanding sales pipeline and growing industry recognition. We anticipate significant revenue growth in 2025, driven by the momentum established in customer and prospect engagements and continued implementation of our go-to-market strategy.

    Amazon Web Services – ISV Accelerate

    In Q1 2025, Beamr joined the AWS ISV Accelerate program, a global co-sell initiative for Amazon Web Services (AWS) partners, offering key benefits to drive visibility and co-selling opportunities. As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) in the program, Beamr demonstrates strong alignment with AWS’s go-to-market strategies and initiatives. Beamr had progressed from listing on AWS Marketplace to becoming an ISV Accelerate Member in just three months.

    AI Video Webinar

    In January 2025, Beamr hosted a webinar titled: “The Future of AI Video – From Infrastructure to Experience”. The webinar featured Richard Kerris, VP of Media and Entertainment at NVIDIA, Jeffrey Schick, VP Strategic Client Engagement Media and Entertainment at Oracle and myself. 

    Participating in Premier Industry Events

    ACM Mile-High-Video 2025

    In February 2025, I delivered a keynote speech at the ACM Mile-High-Video 2025 conference, held in Denver, Colorado, titled “Is the future of video processing destined for GPU.” The conference is a flagship video formats and streaming event that is geared towards practicing engineers in areas related to media compression and streaming. 

    NVIDIA GTC 2025

    In March 2025, I presented a session showcasing how AI algorithms reshape video quality and usability and improve the efficiency of video workflows, at NVIDIA GTC in San Jose, California. The session attracted more than 430 attendees.

    Beamr CEO Sharon Carmel presenting at NVIDIA GTC 

    NAB Show 2025

    In April, 2025, Beamr participated in the NAB Show 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada where we presented our solution for scalable, high-quality video content upgrade to the advanced AV1 codec. Our offering, paired with a simple, competitive pricing plan, addresses key adoption barriers to AV1, and received the NAB Show Product of the Year award. As part of the event, I delivered a presentation at the AWS theater and participated in a panel at the Oracle streaming summit. 

    Beamr’s AV1 solution wins the NAB Show Product of the Year award

    In February 2025, Beamr presented at the A.G.P.’s Virtual Technology Conference, and in March 2025 participated in the Loop Capital Markets 2025 Investor Conference. This month, we will participate in the Ladenburg Thalmann Technology Innovation Expo in New York and participate virtually in the Needham Technology, Media & Consumer 1×1 Conference.

    In January 2025, I was interviewed for the Wall Street Resource Podcast (Listen to the full interview here), after an interview at Nasdaq as part of their Amplify Spotlight interview series in December 2024 (Watch the full interview here).

                                  
    Developing the Beamr Cloud and Product Offering

    In recent months, we enhanced our SaaS, Beamr Cloud, with new capabilities addressing evolving needs of customers and prospects, including:

    • Increasing subjective and objective video quality.
    • A competitive, flexible pricing model with tiered, minutes-based plans that support video business growth, offered alongside storage-based pricing tailored to companies with heavy video usage.
    • A “Playground” designed to provide new users with an engaging and intuitive experience for evaluating Beamr’s services.

    Beamr GPU-accelerated, high-quality, and scalable video solutions extend beyond Beamr Cloud to include offerings on our partner cloud platforms, AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), private cloud and enterprise-tailored deployments with improved security and privacy, and on-premises deployments.

    Strengthening the Beamr Team

    To support our expanding research and development, sales and marketing initiatives, we hired six new team members across our offices in Herzliya, Serbia and the US, during Q1 2025 and early Q2 2025. New hires include engineers, a product growth lead, and directors of sales.
        
    Financial highlights*

    During the three month period ended March 31, 2025, we generated approximately $0.63M in revenue, compared with $0.41M in the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a 55% year over year increase, which was primarily attributable to the earlier recognition of a significant legacy license renewal in Q1-2025 that was previously renewed in Q2-2024. Our balance sheet remains strong with $15.2M of cash and cash equivalents, as of March 31, 2025.
        
    The first quarter of 2025 marked a strong start to the year, with multiple opportunities to present our vision and showcase our technology and solutions to hundreds of professionals and executives in the video industry across multiple verticals. We continue to see growing interest in our offerings, highlighting both rising demand and expanding market validation. Notably, we believe that increased engagement from larger industry players signals a promising outlook for the company’s business development in the months ahead. We remain focused on implementing our vision and believe that Beamr will continue to capitalize on the significant validation that we have been creating as we convert prospects in the sales funnel into significant revenue growth in the coming quarters.

    Respectfully,

    Sharon Carmel
    Chief Executive Officer, Beamr Imaging Ltd.

  • MIL-OSI: Advantage Solutions Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Supporting clients through a challenging operating environment

    Continuing to make progress on transformation initiatives that will streamline operations

    Management lowers guidance to reflect heightened market uncertainty

    ST. LOUIS, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Advantage Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: ADV) (“Advantage,” “Advantage Solutions,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), a leading business solutions provider to consumer goods manufacturers and retailers, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    Unless otherwise noted, results presented in this release are from continuing operations, and comparisons are on a prior year basis. Revenues for the three months were $822 million compared with $861 million, and net loss was $56 million compared to a net loss of $50 million.

    Q1 2025 Financial Highlights
    ►   Revenues declined 5% to $822 million. Adjusted EBITDA declined 18% to $58 million.
    ►   The majority of the financial impact was due to intentional client exits and anticipated transformation spending. Labor shortages in some regional pockets and a decline in retail inventory, resulting in lower order volumes, were contributing factors.
    ►   The Company remains focused on disciplined capital allocation with voluntary debt repurchases and share buybacks of approximately $20 million and $1 million, respectively.


    “I am proud of the support we delivered to our clients in the first quarter as our teammates demonstrated a relentless focus during a highly uncertain time,” said Advantage CEO Dave Peacock. “Demand remains healthy in our business across Experiential and Retailer Services, and Branded Services continues to take steps towards greater stability. While we must acknowledge near-term risk from macro-uncertainty as reflected in our updated guidance, I am excited by developments in our new business pipeline and our transformation initiatives, which remain on track to drive efficiency while enhancing growth and cash flow in 2026 and beyond.”

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain statements in this press release may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the expected future performance of Advantage’s business and projected financial results. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Advantage’s future financial or operating performance. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “confident”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

    These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Advantage and its management at the time of such statements, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, market-driven wage changes or changes to labor laws or wage or job classification regulations, including minimum wage; future potential pandemics or health epidemics; Advantage’s ability to continue to generate significant operating cash flow; client procurement strategies and consolidation of Advantage’s clients’ industries creating pressure on the nature and pricing of its services; consumer goods manufacturers and retailers reviewing and changing their sales, retail, marketing and technology programs and relationships; Advantage’s ability to successfully develop and maintain relevant omni-channel services for our clients in an evolving industry and to otherwise adapt to significant technological change; Advantage’s ability to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future; Advantage’s substantial indebtedness and our ability to refinance at favorable rates; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 7, 2025, and in its other filings made from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Advantage assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Related Information

    This press release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA from Discontinued Operations, Adjusted EBITDA by Segment, Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Net Debt. These are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Advantage’s financial results. Therefore, the measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that Advantage’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included below.

    Advantage believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Advantage’s financial condition and results of operations. Advantage believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA from Discontinued Operations, Adjusted EBITDA by Segment, Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Advantage’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Advantage’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

    Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA from Discontinued Operations and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA from Discontinued Operations mean net (loss) income before (i) interest expense (net), (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, (iv) amortization of intangible assets, (v) impairment of goodwill, (vi) changes in fair value of warrant liability, (vii) stock based compensation expense, (viii) equity-based compensation of Karman Topco L.P., (ix) fair value adjustments of contingent consideration related to acquisitions, (x) acquisition and divestiture related expenses, (xi) (gain) loss on divestitures, (xii) restructuring expenses, (xiii) reorganization expenses, (xiv) litigation expenses (recovery), (xv) costs associated with the Take 5 Matter, (xvi) EBITDA for economic interests in investments and (xviii) other adjustments that management believes are helpful in evaluating our operating performance.

    Adjusted EBITDA by Segment means, with respect to each segment, operating income (loss) from continuing operations before (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization of intangible assets, (iii) impairment of goodwill, (iv) stock based compensation expense, (v) equity-based compensation of Karman Topco L.P., (vi) fair value adjustments of contingent consideration related to acquisitions, (vii) acquisition and divestiture related expenses, (viii) restructuring expenses, (ix) reorganization expenses, (x) litigation expenses (recovery), (xi) costs associated with the Take 5 Matter, (xii) EBITDA for economic interests in investments and (xiii) other adjustments that management believes are helpful in evaluating our operating performance, in each case, attributable to such segment.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin means Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations divided by total revenues. 

    Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing and discontinued operations less purchase of property and equipment as disclosed in the Statements of Cash Flows further adjusted by (i) cash payments for interest, (ii) cash received from interest rate derivatives, (iii) cash paid for income taxes; (iv) cash paid for acquisition and divestiture related expenses, (v) cash paid for restructuring expenses, (vi) cash paid for reorganization expenses, (vii) cash paid for contingent earnout payments included in operating cash flow, (viii) cash paid for costs associated with the Take 5 Matter, (ix) net effect of foreign currency fluctuations on cash, and (x) other adjustments that management believes are helpful in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA means Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA from Discontinued Operations.

    Net Debt represents the sum of current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents and debt issuance costs. With respect to Net Debt, cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from the GAAP measure, total debt, because they could be used to reduce the debt obligations. We present Net Debt because we believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and to evaluate changes to the Company’s capital structure and credit quality assessment.

  • MIL-OSI: Gilat Expands and Adds to its ESA Antenna Portfolio with a Successful Test Flight of ESR-2030Ku on Eutelsat OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Network

    The ESR-2030Ku—designed for mobility and engineered for efficiency—delivered full-duplex connectivity with throughput of 195 Mbps downlink and 32 Mbps uplink. The terminal remained stable and reliable throughout the tests, even in demanding performance scenarios.

This achievement positions Gilat to capitalize on the fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar market for LEO-based ESA solutions in the Defense and In-Flight Connectivity sectors.”

    The ESR-2030Ku is a unique compact and low-power full-duplex aero ESA built for the OneWeb network. Production hardware delivery to support customer STCs is expected later in 2025.

  • MIL-OSI: Eviden Awarded Contract for “Kaufhaus des Bundes – Next Generation” Project by the Procurement Office of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BeschA)

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Press Release 

    Eviden Awarded Contract for “Kaufhaus des Bundes – Next Generation” Project by the Procurement Office of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BeschA)

    Together with veenion, Eviden is redesigning the ‘KdB NG’ procurement platform for more than 480 federal authorities and federal-related institutions

    Berlin, Deutschland, and Paris, France – May 12, 2025 – Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security and IT partner veenion GmbH announce the successful signing of a contract for the modernization project “Kaufhaus des Bundes – Next Generation (KdB NG)”. The KdB NG will replace the existing system and create a convenient and modern procurement portal. This new platform will fully digitize the electronic procurement for over 480 federal authorities and federal-related institutions in Germany, significantly improving the existing system on multiple relevant levels. The platform will enable approximately 22,000 registered users to quickly and securely procure goods and services online – another milestone in the digitization of public administration.

    Innovative Technology for Future-Proof Processes

    The “Kaufhaus des Bundes” has evolved into a comprehensive procurement platform for public administration. By centrally bundling the procurement needs of federal authorities, it offers a wide range of goods and services, from office supplies and IT services to vehicles and much more.

    The new solution, based on the standard software solution “open ordering” from our partner veenion, creates the basis for workflow-driven process optimization. This allows a modern and transparent procurement experience by implementing an end-to-end digital process chain between the awarding authority, the contractor, and the demand carrier.

    The implementation takes place in three successive phases:

    • First Phase: establishment of the basic system with the most important core functionalities for test operation
    • Second Phase: Expansion of the overall system with the deployment of all functionalities up to piloting
    • Third Phase: Support of the pilot phase until the full solution goes live at the end of 2025

    In addition to providing the software solution, Eviden and veenion will continuously keep developing and adapting the solution to the specific requirements of the federal administration as it evolves.

    Long-Term Collaboration as a Success Factor

    Eviden has been supporting the “Kaufhaus des Bundes” since 2001. This long-standing experience and Eviden’s in-depth know-how in the public sector and public procurement solutions form the basis for this new project. The collaboration between Eviden and the BeschA enabled the development of a tailored solution that is precisely aligned with the needs of public administrations. The new “Kaufhaus des Bundes” sets the standards for a modern, secure, and efficient procurement solution.

    veenion GmbH has been specializing in procurement solutions for cities, public authorities, and research institutions for over 25 years. Together with Eviden, veenion successfully implements projects and creates networks through e-procurement solutions that efficiently bring together demand carriers, buyers, and suppliers – from the emergence of demand to payment.

    Sustainable Added Value for Public Administration

    The new procurement solution offers numerous advantages for public administrations:

    • Maximum Efficiency: The use of electronic catalogues and self-service options significantly accelerates digital procurement processes and reduces workload.
    • High Security: Individually configurable approval processes and seamless documentation ensure maximum transparency and security.
    • User-Friendliness: The intuitive user interface makes it easier for users to access all relevant functions and information.
    • Future-proofing: Continuous developments and the integration of state-of-the art technologies ensure that the system remains up-to-date, meeting current and future customer requirements and ensuring the platform’s long-term usability.
    • Sustainability: Sustainability labels in the products’ catalogue overview provide transparent guidance for economic, ecological, and social based offers.

    “With the new procurement solution for the ‘Kaufhaus des Bundes’ we can significantly advance the digitization process in public administration,” says Boris Hecker, Managing Director of Eviden Deutschland GmbH, an Atos business. ” Our long-standing experience in implementing IT projects for the public sector is the foundation for a future-proof and sustainable procurement platform that meets the specific requirements of the authorities.”

    “Our close collaboration with Eviden has enabled us to develop a tailored solution that can flexibly adapt to the individual needs of the public authorities,” explains Manuel Delvo, Managing Director of veenion GmbH. “We are excited to lead the ‘Kaufhaus des Bundes’ into the next generation with our technology and elevate procurement to a new level.”

    “The ‘Kaufhaus des Bundes’ is the central procurement platform that has enabled efficient and secure procurement for federal authorities for years. With this new solution, we ensure that all requirements for a modern and user-friendly Kaufhaus des Bundes continues to be met in the future,” explains Frank Schmitz, Head of Department Z of the Procurement Office of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. “The new shop solution will consistently advance the digitization of the public sector’s ordering process and establish a future-proof foundation.“

  • MIL-OSI: Hut 8 Subsidiary American Bitcoin Announces Go-Public Transaction

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or the “Company”), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases such as Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing, today announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, American Bitcoin, has entered into a definitive merger agreement to go public with Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRYP) (“Gryphon”) pursuant to which Gryphon will acquire American Bitcoin in a stock-for-stock merger transaction.

    Upon closing, the combined company will operate under the American Bitcoin brand, led by the American Bitcoin board of directors, including Mike Ho, Asher Genoot, Justin Mateen, and Michael Broukhim, and management team, including Mike Ho, Matt Prusak, and Eric Trump. The combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ABTC.” The transaction is expected to close as early as Q3 2025.

    “This transaction marks the next step in scaling American Bitcoin as a purpose-built vehicle for low-cost Bitcoin accumulation at scale,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “By taking American Bitcoin public, we expect to unlock direct access to dedicated growth capital independent of Hut 8’s balance sheet, while preserving long-term exposure to Bitcoin upside for our shareholders.”

    Existing stockholders of American Bitcoin are expected to own approximately 98% of the combined company. Immediately following the completion of the transaction, the Company will beneficially own a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the combined company.

    Following the transaction, Hut 8 will continue to serve as American Bitcoin’s exclusive infrastructure and operations partner through a series of long-term commercial agreements expected to generate stable, contracted revenue streams in Hut 8’s Power and Digital Infrastructure segments.

  • MIL-OSI: Turtle Club raises $6.2M to advance onchain liquidity distribution protocol

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ZURICH, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Turtle Club today announced the close of a $6.2 million seed funding round to advance its on-chain liquidity distribution protocol. The funding supports the project’s mission to improve how liquidity is coordinated and deployed across decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.

    The round was led by THEIA, with participation from Susquehanna (SIG), Laser Digital, Consensys, Selini, RE7 Capital, L2IV, Archimed Capital, Trident Digital, Bodhi Ventures, Shorewoods, Triton Liquid, AUROS Global, Chorus One, Frachtis, Moonhill Capital, Tulipa Capital, and others. Notable angel investors include Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, Wintermute co-founder Yoann Turpin, and Ryan Fang of Ankr.

    Turtle Club enables on-chain liquidity distribution by allowing liquidity providers (LPs) to earn rewards across multiple protocols. The protocol also helps projects and distribution partners align incentives, create visibility into liquidity costs across chains, establish risk-adjusted benchmarks for protocol categories, and design more sustainable incentive models. Capital providers benefit from transparent metrics that guide strategic deployment.

    Since its launch in March 2024, Turtle Club reports:

    • 315,000+ registered wallets
    • $2.3 Billion+ in total value bootstrapped
    • 51 integrated protocols
    • $550 million deployed in 45 days via its first chain bootstrapping campaign

    “As liquidity becomes more fragmented across chains and protocols, the need for structured, transparent distribution has never been greater,” said Essi Lagevardi, CEO of Turtle Club. “This round allows us to continue building mechanisms that reward capital providers fairly, help protocols design sustainable incentive programs, and support a more efficient, transparent DeFi liquidity environment. At the end of the day, our mission is simple: deliver the best-quality dealflow and the best possible service to LPs. When you consistently do both, everything else follows.”

    Turtle Club will use the proceeds to expand its engineering team, support new protocol integrations, and grow its distribution network.

    About Turtle Club

    Turtle Club is a protocol for on-chain liquidity distribution, designed to connect LPs, protocols, and partners through sustainable and transparent incentive models. Operated by Phantom Protocol AG and launched in March 2024, Turtle Club has become one of the fastest-growing liquidity coordination layers in Web3.

  • MIL-OSI: Cake Becomes the First Digital-Only Bank in Southeast Asia to Receive the Highest-Level ISO Certification for Facial Biometrics

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cake Digital Bank has become the first digital-only bank in Southeast Asia to achieve ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2 certification from iBeta for its facial biometric solution, Cake Face Authen. This certification represents the highest level of facial spoofing protection recognized by iBeta in this technology category.

    A Digital Bank Owning Its Core Technology

    Cake Face Authen, the bank’s facial biometric and anti-spoofing solution, was fully developed in-house by Cake’s team of Vietnamese engineers. Utilizing Passive Liveness Detection technology, the system verifies a user’s identity without requiring interaction such as blinking, head movements, or facial gestures. Instead, it quickly authenticates a live face using a combination of facial features, ensuring a seamless and secure experience during critical activities such as account opening, transaction approvals, and spending limit upgrades.

    According to iBeta’s evaluation, Cake Face Authen demonstrated advanced fraud detection capabilities by successfully identifying sophisticated 3D spoofing attacks—including those using 3D printers, resin masks, and latex masks. The system achieved a 0% Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER) and 0% Bona Fide Presentation Classification Error Rate (BPCER), ensuring the highest level of accuracy during the eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) process.

    iBeta’s official announcement confirms that Cake is one of only five BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) organizations in Vietnam to obtain ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2 certification for facial biometrics. Notably, it is the first digital-only bank in Southeast Asia to be recognized for meeting this highest international standard in biometric security.

    Beyond meeting international benchmarks, Cake has optimized its facial recognition technology using a large dataset of Vietnamese users to ensure maximum accuracy and relevance. Its robust protective layers help the bank comply with the State Bank of Vietnam’s security regulations for online banking services, while simultaneously enabling fast, user-friendly transactions.

    Thanks to its flexible integration with various data sources and eKYC models, Cake’s facial recognition solution is widely applied across multiple domains—including customer identification, security access control, attendance tracking, and fraud prevention—for partners with large user ecosystems.

    Multiple Technology Solutions to Protect Customers

    In its commitment to user protection, Cake was an early adopter of the FIDO2 passwordless authentication standard and has also implemented advanced encryption for savings accounts. These innovations offer additional high-level security against account takeovers and the theft of personal savings.

    As part of its “Next GenAI Bank” strategy, Cake leverages artificial intelligence across all operational functions. The bank has developed over 80 AI models supporting customer interaction, credit risk analysis, and operational efficiency. In addition, Cake complies with PCI DSS 4.0 Level 1, the highest global standard for payment card data security.

    Nguyễn Hữu Quang, CEO of Cake Digital Bank, stated:

    “Achieving the highest international ISO standard for facial biometrics with a solution developed entirely in-house by our Vietnamese engineering team is a remarkable milestone for Cake. It reflects not only our technological autonomy but also our ability to meet the world’s most stringent security standards. We are proud to lead the way in digital banking innovation and remain committed to protecting our customers and partners through secure, locally developed solutions. At the same time, we aim to contribute to the broader digital transformation of Vietnam’s financial sector.”

  • MIL-OSI: Cybersecurity Veteran Kevin Mandia joins DTEX’s Advisory Board

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Founder of Mandiant and advisor to global governments and Boards will support the company’s insider-risk mission

    SAN JOSE, Calif. , May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DTEX Systems, the trusted leader of insider risk management, today announced the appointment of Kevin Mandia to its Advisory Board. A recognized authority on cyber defense, threat intelligence and national security issues, Mandia joins DTEX at a time when insider threats – fueled by geopolitical conflict, technological misuse, the rise of AI, and increased remote digital access – are accelerating in both scale and sophistication. These human elements remain the most unpredictable aspect of insider risk, requiring organizations to focus not just on technology, but on human behavior.

    A former military officer and founder of Mandiant, Mandia has advised U.S. diplomats, testified before Congress, and led incident response for some of the most consequential cyber breaches of the past two decades. His experience, going from founder to public-company CEO and building Mandiant into one of the world’s most respected incident response and threat intelligence firms, coupled with now supporting early-stage innovation as a Co-founder and General Partner at Ballistic Ventures, will help guide DTEX to deter insider threats before they become national security issues or enterprise incidents.

    “Insider risks have become a growing concern for organizations and national security alike,” said Mandia. “We are seeing increasing attention from Boards and leadership teams as adversaries exploit trusted access. DTEX has developed a thoughtful, proactive approach that goes beyond traditional alerts to help organizations detect, understand, and mitigate these threats. I’m proud to support a team committed to helping customers stay ahead of the evolving risk landscape.”

    DTEX’s 2025 Cost of Insider Risks Global Report highlights that 81% of organizations now have or are planning to have an insider risk management program. This aligns with the 2024 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Homeland Threat Assessment, which underscores a significant increase in cyber espionage activities targeting critical infrastructure sectors, including technology, government and healthcare. Nation-state actors are intensifying efforts by using sophisticated tactics to compromise national security and public safety. As a result, Boards are prioritizing strategies to defend against insider threats for organizational resilience.

    “On behalf of the team at DTEX Systems, we are thrilled to welcome Kevin Mandia to the DTEX Advisory Board,” said Marshall Heilman, CEO of DTEX Systems. “Kevin was an early-career mentor to me, so I know firsthand that his expertise combined with his mission-oriented focus from Mandiant will be invaluable for our mission to protect organizations and governments from insider risks.”

    Mandia joins an esteemed group of cybersecurity and intelligence leaders on the DTEX Advisory Board, including The Honorable Sue Gordon, former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Rear Admiral (Ret.) Mike Studeman, former Commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

  • MIL-OSI: Liquidia Corporation Provides Update on Litigation Filed by United Therapeutics

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • New litigation filed against Liquidia in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina alleges infringement of UTHR’s ‘782 patent and seeks to enjoin Liquidia from commercializing YUTREPIA
    • ‘782 patent claims same general subject matter as UTHR’s invalidated ‘793 patent
    • Does not impact FDA’s ability to take final action on NDA for YUTREPIA on PDUFA goal date of May 24, 2025

    MORRISVILLE, N.C., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liquidia Corporation (NASDAQ: LQDA), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for patients with rare cardiopulmonary disease, today announced that United Therapeutics Corporation (UTHR) filed a complaint on May 9, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (Case No. 1:25-cv-00368) against Liquidia alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,357,782 (the ‘782 patent). Additionally, the complaint seeks to enjoin Liquidia from commercializing YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD).

    Dr. Roger Jeffs, CEO, Liquidia said: “We are not surprised by UTHR’s repeated, last-minute attempts to deny PAH and PH-ILD patients access to an alternative therapy. We have invalidated similar claims covering the treatment of pulmonary hypertension patients with inhaled treprostinil in the past and will continue to defend the rights of patients suffering with these critical illnesses to choose the therapy that works best for them.”

    The ‘782 patent, which issued on June 14, 2022, arises out of the same patent family as U.S. Patent No. 10,716,793 (the ‘793 patent) and claims the same general method of administering inhaled treprostinil to pulmonary hypertension patients. As disclosed in July 2022, the ‘793 patent was held to be invalid in a proceeding before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The PTAB’s decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in December 2023. The United States Supreme Court rejected UTHR’s petition for a writ of certiorari, thereby upholding PTAB’s decision which found that all claims of the ‘793 patent are unpatentable due to prior art as final and not subject to further appeal.

    UTHR is currently not seeking any injunction against the FDA to prevent final approval of the New Drug Application (NDA) for YUTREPIA. As previously announced, the FDA set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of May 24, 2025.

    About Liquidia Corporation
    Liquidia Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for patients with rare cardiopulmonary disease. The company’s current focus spans the development and commercialization of products in pulmonary hypertension and other applications of its proprietary PRINT® Technology. PRINT enabled the creation of Liquidia’s lead candidate, YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder, an investigational drug for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). The company is also developing L606, an investigational sustained-release formulation of treprostinil administered twice-daily with a next-generation nebulizer, and currently markets generic Treprostinil Injection for the treatment of PAH.

  • MIL-OSI: Enwave Announces Expansion of Energy from Waste District Heating Facility in Prince Edward Island, Avoiding Landfill for Nearly 90% of the Black Cart Residential Waste in Province

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enwave Energy Corporation (Enwave) has announced today the commitment to build a new waste processing facility in Prince Edward Island, beginning this fall. The facility will be in operation by 2028 and will replace the existing end-of-life system. Enwave, in partnership with the Province of Prince Edward Island, has proudly undertaken this expansion to address the growing need to identify sustainable waste solutions in the province.

    The existing district energy plant converts municipal solid waste and biomass — scrap wood from forest harvesting operations — to energy and provides that energy to its customers through the interconnected district energy network. After nearly thirty years of operation, the plant is approaching end-of-life and will be replaced with the new, expanded facility. Since 2017, the Province of Prince Edward Island and Enwave have collaborated on this project with a united goal to reduce waste and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions at a time when sustainable waste solutions are needed more than ever.

    This new, state-of-the-art facility is capable of processing 90% of the province’s total black cart residential waste, significantly reducing landfill waste. The expansion of this critical facility will significantly replace the use of fuel oil for heating while providing further reliability and redundancy to more than 145 connected buildings in Charlottetown, the province’s capital city, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the University of Prince Edward Island, schools and residences. Enwave’s district energy system has a proven track record as a reliable and critical source of energy in the province, having maintained uninterrupted operations to critical customers during recent natural phenomena such as hurricanes Juan, Dorian and Fiona, as well as during the hurricane-strength blizzard, White Juan, in 2004.

    Rendering of Enwave’s new waste processing facility in Prince Edward Island, anticipated to be in operation by 2028 to replace the existing end-of-life system.

    Enwave brings more than thirty years of experience in advanced Waste-to-Energy systems to the project, a proven path to avoiding landfill waste and reducing GHG emissions. Through this expansion, the annual impact of avoiding landfill by using up to 49,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste for heating will amount to GHG savings of up to 908,000 tonnes of CO2e by 2052, equivalent to taking 278,000 cars off the road.

    Leveraging Waste-to-Energy technology provides a real solution and tangible option for communities around the country to reduce the need for additional landfills and help to meet carbon emission reduction targets. With global waste forecasted to increase 70% by 2050, this project is a testament to scalable and sustainable pathways that directly address concerns of rising waste.

    “We are very grateful for the support and confidence of the government of PEI and the people of this province, enabling us to make this long-term commitment as a critical energy partner,” says Carlyle Coutinho, CEO of Enwave Energy Corporation. “The eight-year journey to get to this point has seen many hurdles, however both Enwave and the province have remained committed to making this expansion a reality. This project is an example of how governments and private companies can work together to achieve long-term, sustainable solutions at scale through a shared purpose, creating a better world for today and generations to come.”

    “Waste to Energy technology is a great example of a sustainable, innovative solution to meeting PEI’s energy needs,” says PEI Environment, Energy and Climate Action Minister Gilles Arsenault. “This expansion helps us continue to minimize energy costs for important provincial buildings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As an added benefit, using this waste for energy helps us extend the life of our existing landfill.”

    Enwave’s expansion of the waste processing facility and operations will nearly double existing waste processing capacity while directly aligning with Charlottetown’s Vision for a Sustainable Energy Future by transitioning to renewable clean energy and incorporating sustainable innovation and technology.

    “The CIB is proud to be a part of this project given the important role it will play in modernizing the city’s district energy system, ensuring affordable and clean energy supply to more than 145 connected buildings in the Charlottetown core,” says Ehren Cory, CEO, Canada Infrastructure Bank.

    The new waste processing facility expansion is supported financially by the Canadian Infrastructure Bank through an aggregate facility of $600M supporting innovative energy projects across Enwave’s portfolio, including Lakeview Village in Mississauga, Ontario (Wastewater Heat Recovery technology), Etobicoke Civic Centre in Toronto (Geo-exchange technology), and this project in PEI (Waste-to-Energy technology).

    Enwave has worked closely alongside key partners that are critical to the success of the PEI expansion project, including Maple Reindeers Constructors Ltd., Marco Group, Ramboll Group A/S, Coles Associates Ltd., Stantec, Martin GmbH, ANDRITZ TEP, LAB SA and Kone Cranes Canada Inc.

    A ceremony announcing the official groundbreaking of the new waste processing facility will take place in the fall of 2025.

    Responsible Gambling Measures & 7Bit Casino

    7Bit Casino is licensed by the Curacao iGaming Agency, and to maintain this license, the casino must implement several responsibilities and features to ensure the safety and well-being of its players. These regulatory standards are part of what helps position 7Bit as a contender for the best real money online casino. Here, we will look into these aspects so you can use them if the need arises.

    • Deposit Limits: It is important to set a budget when it comes to gambling. If you don’t, you might end up overspending and exhausting your money supply chasing after losses and revenge gambling. To prevent this, 7Bit enables its players to set a limit on the deposit amount. After you hit this limit, you won’t be able to deposit more money into your account for a specific time frame.
    • Session Time Remainders: You can easily lose track of time when playing games, especially ones that give you thrills. In such a case, the session time remainder tool helps players by keeping track of their logging time and urging them to take breaks in case of prolonged gambling.
    • Cool-Off Periods: Cool-off periods are used when one wants to take a short break from gambling. They help in preventing people from getting addicted to gambling and making impulsive decisions that could result in the loss of money.
    • Self-Exclusion Programs: Self-exclusion programs are used when a player succumbs to gambling addiction. The program enables them to take long breaks from the platform, generally ranging from 6 months to 5 years. During this time, their account will remain deactivated.
    • Reality Checks: The tool is much like session time remainders, and is mainly used by players to track the time and money spent on the gambling platform. It prompts the players to reflect on this data and take adequate action if required.

  • MIL-OSI: 21Shares Spotlights Solana’s Breakout Year in New “State of Crypto” Report

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New report explores Solana’s rise as the infrastructure layer of next-gen finance

    Zurich, 12 May 2025 – 21Shares, one of the world’s largest issuers of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), today announced the release of the 14th edition of its flagship research series, State of Crypto, featuring an in-depth spotlight on Solana.

    With ultra-high speed, near-zero fees, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem, Solana has emerged as a leading blockchain powering everything from cross-border payments to AI and decentralised physical infrastructure. The new report explores Solana’s evolution into a real-world financial layer, and why it is fast becoming the blockchain of choice for both developers and institutions.

    “Solana is redefining what’s possible with blockchain technology,” said Adrian Fritz, Head of Research at 21Shares. “It combines performance, usability, and scale in a way few networks can match. In this report, we unpack the numbers, the tech, and the trends behind Solana’s rise, and what that means for investors.”

    The report includes:

    • A detailed comparison between Solana and leading competitors such as Ethereum, Sui, and TON.
    • In-depth sector analyses of Solana’s growing ecosystem, including DePIN, AI agents, DeFi innovation, and the memecoin phenomenon.
    • A comprehensive valuation framework to evaluate whether Solana is currently undervalued relative to its peers.
    • Insights into Solana’s role within a diversified crypto portfolio and how it can enhance broader asset allocation strategies.

    Solana now processes over 3,000 transactions per second with transaction fees consistently below $0.01. During peak activity in January, it surpassed $364 billion in on-chain volume, matching the throughput of Nasdaq over the same period. With major integrations from Visa, Shopify, and PayPal, along with emerging innovations like Solana Blinks and the Saga smartphone, Solana is rapidly positioning itself as the foundational infrastructure layer for the next generation of the internet.

    21Shares offers the 21Shares Solana Core Staking ETP (ticker: CSOL), an exchange-traded product that allows investors to gain exposure to Solana without directly holding the asset. CSOL has a management fee of 0.35%, is 100% physically backed, and also benefits from staking rewards, which are seamlessly generated by adding the yield to the investor’s coin entitlement. 

    For more details about the 21Shares Solana Core Staking ETP, including the factsheet, please click here.

  • MIL-OSI: MEXC Lists 160 Tokens in April, Delivers Over 800% Returns Across Top Gainers

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its April 2025 trading highlights, showcasing impressive results in token performance, early listing advantages, and community-driven events like airdrops.

    Key Takeaways:

    • MEXC listed 160 new tokens in April, led by trends in Meme, GameFi, AI, and DePIN sectors.
    • Top 10 new listings delivered an average of 832.33% ATH return, with HOUSE soaring +3,830%.
    • Tokens with high spot trading volume saw daily returns averaging 403.49%.
    • By pioneering listings for five key tokens—most notably HOUSE, which surged 11,580% between listings—MEXC gave users early access prior to their inclusion in IDO and alpha programs on other tier1 exchanges .
    • Airdrop+ campaigns reached 40,000+ participants, distributing about $1.5M in token rewards with a 40 USDT average return per user.

    According to the report, MEXC listed 160 new tokens in April, a 16.79% increase compared to March. This increase was driven by surging user interest in sectors such as Meme coins, GameFi, AI, and DePIN. This expansion of early-access opportunities reflects MEXC’s agile listing strategy and commitment to supporting new niches and communities.

    Top New Listings Deliver 832% Average Peak Returns

    MEXC’s strategic approach to listings paid off, with the top 10 tokens achieving an average all-time high return of 832.33%. HOUSE led the pack, posting a remarkable +3830.90% gain, followed by SEED (+952.63%) and TROLLSOL (+831.31%). These high performers span ecosystems including Solana, Sui, BSC, Ethereum, and Babylon.

    Strong Daily Performance Tied to Trading Volume

    April’s top 10 tokens by spot trading volume also posted robust short-term returns, with an average 24-hour return of 403.49%. Among them were the following assets:

    • WCT (+849.40%)
    • BANK (+937.10%)
    • BABY (+738.00%)

    The early token growth metrics highlight that activity on the platform is an important signal for early traders.

    MEXC Empowers Traders with Early Price Discovery Capabilities

    Notably, five tokens later featured in leading IDO and alpha programs were listed on MEXC prior to their program debuts, posting price gains of several hundred to several thousand percent between the two events:

    • HOUSE: +11,580%
    • PUMP: +281.54%

    The report findings reinforced MEXC’s reputation as a platform where market momentum is often detected first.

    Airdrop+ Events Attract 40,000 Participants, Drive New Token Buzz

    MEXC ran 23 Airdrop+ campaigns during the month, attracting over 40,000 participants and distributing almost $1.5 million in tokens. The average return per participant was 40 USDT, with top-performing tokens like SEED, PUMP, and BABY included in the prize pools.

    Airdrop+ has proven itself as a tool not only for attracting but also activating users, especially in Asian and emerging markets. A recent MEXC report based on the analysis of more than 100 campaigns in recent months revealed that up to 35% of new users register through participation in airdrop activities. Users involved in the campaign were more likely to continue active trading and participate in subsequent IDO/IEO offerings on the platform.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aerospike, Inc. today delivered a new Terraform blueprint that quickly deploys Database 8 on Amazon EKS in under 30 minutes.

    The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator (AKO) automates the deployment and management of Aerospike databases, both in the cloud and on-premises. With the new Terraform blueprint, users don’t need deep Aerospike or AWS expertise to quickly start and scale a full-stack Aerospike Database on EKS with production defaults, tested patterns, infrastructure provisioning, and other critical configuration settings.

    “Amazon EKS is one of the most popular managed Kubernetes services,” said Subbu Iyer, CEO of Aerospike. “We’ve reduced all the friction to make it easier than ever to start and scale a production-ready Aerospike Database with Kubernetes — in the cloud and on-prem.”

    The new Terraform blueprint delivers a complete Aerospike deployment by provisioning the EKS cluster, configuring the underlying infrastructure like the VPC, and deploying both the AKO and Aerospike server with recommended defaults. It’s built on AWS’s Data on EKS (DoEKS), an open source project that accelerates building, deploying, and scaling data workloads on Amazon EKS.

    Get started with the Terraform blueprint on GitHub.

    Aerospike Multi-model Database

    Aerospike makes it easy to launch in the cloud and choose the right data model for the job—whether document, graph, key-value, or vector search—all within a single, massively scalable real-time database. Developers can build high-performance applications on top of these models using 80% less infrastructure than legacy or point solutions. A three-time winner of the Data Breakthrough Awards, Aerospike simplifies deployment, cluster management, and monitoring of streamlined operations, freeing developers to focus on innovations rather than operational complexity.
