Game Description RimWorld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Inspired by Dwarf Fortress, Firefly, and Dune.

You begin with three survivors of a shipwreck on a distant world.

RimWorld is a story generator:
It’s designed to co-author tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories about imprisoned pirates, desperate colonists, starvation and survival. It works by controlling the “random” events that the world throws at you. Every thunderstorm, pirate raid, and traveling salesman is a card dealt into your story by the AI Storyteller. There are several storytellers to choose from. Randy Random does crazy stuff, Cassandra Classic goes for rising tension, and Phoebe Chillax likes to relax.

Your colonists are not professional settlers:
They’re crash-landed survivors from a passenger liner destroyed in orbit. You can end up with a nobleman, an accountant, and a housewife. You’ll acquire more colonists by capturing them in combat and turning them to your side, buying them from slave traders, or taking in refugees. So your colony will always be a motley crew.

Each person’s background is tracked and affects how they play:
A nobleman will be great at social skills (recruiting prisoners, negotiating trade prices), but refuse to do physical work. A farm oaf knows how to grow food by long experience, but cannot do research. A nerdy scientist is great at research, but cannot do social tasks at all. A genetically engineered assassin can do nothing but kill – but he does that very well.

Colonists develop – and destroy – relationships:
Each has an opinion of the others, which determines whether they’ll become lovers, marry, cheat, or fight. Perhaps your two best colonists are happily married – until one of them falls for the dashing surgeon who saved her from a gunshot wound.

The game generates a whole planet from pole to equator:
You choose whether to land your crash pods in a cold northern tundra, a parched desert flat, a temperate forest, or a steaming equatorial jungle. Different areas have different animals, plants, diseases, temperatures, rainfall, mineral resources, and terrain. These challenges of surviving in a disease-infested, choking jungle are very different from those in a parched desert wasteland or a frozen tundra with a two-month growing season.

Travel across the planet:
You’re not stuck in one place. You can form a caravan of people, animals, and prisoners. Rescue kidnapped former allies from pirate outposts, attend peace talks, trade with other factions, attack enemy colonies, and complete other quests. You can even pack up your entire colony and move to a new place. You can use rocket-powered transport pods to travel faster.

You can tame and train animals:
Lovable pets will cheer up sad colonists. Farm animals can be worked, milked, and sheared. Attack beasts can be released upon your enemies. There are many animals – cats, labrador retrievers, grizzly bears, camels, cougars, chinchillas, chickens, and exotic alien-like lifeforms.

People in RimWorld constantly observe their situation and surroundings in order to decide how to feel at any given moment:
They respond to hunger and fatigue, witnessing death, disrespectfully unburied corpses, being wounded, being left in darkness, getting packed into cramped environments, sleeping outside or in the same room as others, and many other situations. If they’re too stressed, they might lash out or break down.

Wounds, infections, prosthetics, and chronic conditions are tracked on each body part and affect characters’ capacities:
Eye injuries make it hard to shoot or do surgery. Wounded legs slow people down. Hands, brain, mouth, heart, liver, kidneys, stomach, feet, fingers, toes, and more can all be wounded, diseased, or missing, and all have logical in-game effects. And other species have their own body layouts – take off a deer’s leg, and it can still hobble on the other three. Take off a rhino’s horn, and it’s much less dangerous.

You can repair body parts with prosthetics ranging from primitive to transcendent:
A peg leg will get Joe Colonist walking after an unfortunate incident with a rhinoceros, but he’ll still be quite slow. Buy an expensive bionic leg from a trader the next year, and Joe becomes a superhuman runner. You can even extract, sell, buy, and transplant internal organs.

And there’s much more than that! The game is easy to mod and has an active mod community. Read more at [rimworldgame.com]

Game Description

Headquarters: World War II is a fast paced turn-based strategy covering the Battle of Normandy in the three plot-driven campaigns and a number of skirmishes. Choose your side, form your force, assign heroes, level up your units, and use Headquarters skills to overcome the enemy.

Face a real tactical challenge
The game’s combat system is based on an easy to learn – hard to master approach. Deceptively easy at a first glance, it offers lots of possibilities:

Enjoy the striking visuals
All units and scenery are created with the finest attention to detail using Unreal Engine 4 to achieve a very realistic visual style:

Go through numerous battles
See all sides of the story by completing 3 campaigns with 9 operations in each. The game features United States, United Kingdom, and German campaigns all set in the Normandy landings period of the war.

Manage your troops
Between the battles, you can upgrade or change your units, level them up, and assign heroes to them, granting unique abilities

Keep your crews safe
Every unit has a crew – and the crew is the heart of any unit. Losing different crew members results in different penalties for the unit. Losing a gunner means the unit has fewer attacks, losing a driver means the unit has reduced mobility, and so on.

Be victorious in any skirmish
Test your skills against an AI on each of the 6 skirmish maps. Different victory conditions require versatility in your planning and tactics.

Prove yourself as a masterful tactician
Play skirmish battles against real opponents or 2×2 team battles with friends. The game supports multiplayer battles with up to 4 players both with real-time connection or using Slitherine’s CombatHQ system.

Play your own game
Use the Editor tool to create your own skirmish/multiplayer maps and share them with the community.

Game Features

• Units have front/side/back/top armor and their positioning matters a lot
• Fences and other obstacles offer a directional cover that depends on the angle of attack
• Different terrain types offer various bonuses and affect Line of Sight
• Destroyed vehicles and other large objects affect the battlefield and provide cover
• High Ground mechanics allow multiple levels of terrain elevation that affect Line of Sight and combat effectiveness
• Destructible buildings with different stages of demolition create unique challenges
• Realistic unit models with proper physics in place
• Visceral elements of devastation – burning tank hulks, ruined houses, shell craters, smoke, death, and destruction. You will witness this and many other horrors of the war
• Varied surroundings – your troops will come across war-torn battlefields as well as peaceful villages with cattle and fields of grain. Mind your tanks – this quaint beauty is quite fragile

《魔獸世界》設計師將考迪克做成地精BOSS 放進遊戲

近日有人在《魔獸世界》資料站wowhead發現，在Ashenvale(灰谷)地圖正中央的戰歌伐木場城堡中，出現了一個特別的地精Boss，其長相與前暴雪老闆鮑比·考迪克(Bobby Kotick)相似。

這個地精Boss不僅外形相似，其名字「Gobb Goldnick」發音也與「Bobby Kotick」發音相近。有玩家稱擊殺這個Boss後，遊戲會給予玩家5500xp的獎勵。

有趣的是，該Boss的技能是「概念化夢境(Conceptualize Dreamscapes)」，設計師甚至還給他設計了一個獨家工會「搾取利潤夢工廠(Dream Profits and Extractions)」。一般來說，在《魔獸世界》中地精是貪婪狡猾的化身，這與考迪克大致相符。

 

曾有超過千名動視暴雪員工罷工並請願，要求考迪克下台

在與微軟合併後，動視暴雪的CEO鮑比·考迪克（Bobby Kotick）於12月29日正式離開了公司，他離開前不僅擺脫了自己曾有過不當行為的嫌疑，並且還獲得了豐厚的離職補償金1500萬美元（約4億6000萬元台幣）。

考迪克的任期也伴隨著多起爭議。2021年，加州公平就業和住房部門針對動視暴雪提起了一起訴訟，指控公司存在工作場所不端行為和歧視問題。雖然考迪克本人並未在訴訟中被提及，但後續報導指出他曾保護一名涉嫌性騷擾的員工免遭解僱。當時動視暴雪就有超過千名員工簽了請願書，要求考迪克下台。

動視暴雪員工對於鮑比・考迪克續任CEO不滿的主因是他們認為，鮑比・考迪克和其他高層在公司裡幫助培養並保護了一種騷擾和歧視女性的文化，請願員工幾乎包含動視暴雪的每個業務部門，包括動視，暴雪，IW，King，Raven Software，Toys For Bob以及其他工作室。

「他在經營我們公司時的行為和做法已經被曝光，這與我們對領導層文化和正直的要求背道而馳，並與我們的同伴發起的倡議直接沖突。我們在此要求Bobby Kotick辭去動視暴雪CEO一職，並允許股東在沒有Bobby Kotick參與的情況下選擇新的CEO，我們知道Bobby Kotick擁有股東的很大一部分投票權。」

BMW 在電動車市場逆勢成長，第一季銷量增長 28%

雖然傳統車廠推出愈來愈多電動車，但現今電動車熱度已退燒，不少品牌的銷量都呈現衰退，但唯獨 BMW 卻是例外，今年第一季於電動車銷售方面成長 28%。

相較於先前現階段電動車熱度已有所退燒，不少品牌甚至降價求售，由於消費者對於電動車的需求趨緩，因此今年第一季銷售報告中 Mercedes-Benz 在電動車銷量下滑 8%，Volkswagen 則小幅衰退 3%，就當眾人都呈現下滑 BMW 卻逆勢成長。

BMW 旗下電動車 i4、i7、iX1 等車今年第一季交車數較同期大幅增加 41%，而這樣的表現也帶動整體電動車銷量成長 28%，甚至也連帶讓股價也獲得漲幅，今年截至目前股價漲幅已有 14%。

由於第一季電動車銷售表現優異，也讓 BMW 有信心今年交車量能夠從 2023 年的 15% 成長到 20%。除了銷量成長，日前 BMW 也與 Rimac Technology 達成協議，未來將成為 BMW 電池供應商。

先前就有傳聞稱三星可能會發佈經濟實惠版的Galaxy Z Fold，而根據爆料，除了Fold FE外似乎還會有Galaxy Z Flip FE，上市時間、尺寸、規格、處理器晶片資訊等也都一併曝光。

先前就有傳聞稱三星可能會發佈經濟實惠版的 Galaxy Z Fold 以及更高階的 Ultra 版本，而現在隨著有關 Galaxy Z Fold FE 的新資訊浮出水面，我們似乎離這款手機的發佈越來越近。

據爆料稱，三星這次除了 Fold FE，似乎還會有 Galaxy Z Flip FE，而上市時間、尺寸、規格、處理器晶片資訊等也都一併曝光。

尺寸及處理器晶片資訊

Galaxy Z Fold FE 摺疊後的尺寸為 155.1 x 67.1 x 14.2 mm，Galaxy Z Flip FE 展開後的尺寸為 165.2 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm。Flip FE 將搭載驍龍 7s Gen 2 處理器，而 Fold FE 將搭載 Galaxy 的驍龍 8 代 2 處理器或 Exynos 2200 處理器。顯然，三星希望降低這兩款可摺疊手機的成本。

三星將為 Galaxy Z Fold FE 提供 12GB 和 16GB 記憶體版本，而 Galaxy Z Flip FE 將只提供 8GB 記憶體。在儲存空間方面，兩款裝置都可能有 256GB 和 512GB 兩種選擇。

Galaxy Z Fold FE、Z Flip FE 上市時間

該傳言還稱，Galaxy Z Fold FE 和 Galaxy Z Flip FE 將於今年晚些時候發佈，這意味著將在今年年底發佈，因為三星不會在今年 7 月發佈主打可摺疊產品旗艦陣容的同時，發佈這兩款裝置。

三星 Galaxy Z Fold 6 傳聞，包含電池容量、充電速度、重量以及可能會有更實惠的新版本

三星將於今年晚些時候舉行第二次 Galaxy Unpacked 2024 活動，有報導稱可能會提前到今年 7 月舉行。第二次 Unpacked 2024 活動將標誌著 Galaxy Z Fold 6 和 Galaxy Z Flip 6 的首次亮相。有關 Galaxy Z Fold 6 的各種細節正在網上浮出水面，而根據最新傳言，稱其電池規格和充電速度與 Galaxy Z Fold 5 相同。

繼有消息認識披露了 Galaxy Z Fold 6 的所謂尺寸之後，較為可靠的爆料人ICE UNIVERSE（透過 X）現在又披露，Galaxy Z Fold 6 將配備 4400 毫安時的電池容量，並支援 25W 有線充電，這與 Galaxy Z Fold 5 和 Galaxy Z Fold 4 類似。

他進一步回覆了一條評論，並確認三星為即將推出的 Galaxy Z Fold 6 更改這些電池規格的可能性非常低。三星預計將於奧運會開幕前的 7 月在巴黎發佈 Galaxy Z Fold 6。此外，今年的 Galaxy Z Fold 6 還將減輕一些重量，據傳重量為 239 克，比 Galaxy Z Fold 5 輕 14 克。

此外，有報導稱三星今年晚些時候還可能推出更經濟實惠的 Galaxy Z Fold 6，但目前還沒有相關的官方消息。Galaxy Z Flip 和 Galaxy Z Fold 手機一直是三星的高階產品。不過，由於 OPPO、vivo 和 TECNO 等中國公司的出現，市場上已經有多款口袋型翻蓋和摺疊手機供買家選擇，這給三星原本一路領先的市佔率造成了不小的壓力。

Android遊戲模擬器PPSSPP計畫登陸到iOS系統 但能否成功發佈仍取決於蘋果

先前蘋果宣佈將開放復古遊戲模擬器上架，這些模擬器APP可以發佈到 AppStore 並通過雲端下載和安裝一些復古遊戲，不過涉及到復古遊戲的內購問題必須通過 IAP 購買。同時蘋果也要求復古遊戲模擬器開發商必須遵守法律法規，也就是不能提供還有版權保護的遊戲，否則屬於違規行為將被阻止發佈或在發佈後被下架。

而最近，在知名的PSP模擬器 PPSSPP 開發者 Henrik Rydgard 表示，PPSSPP 模擬器可能會在今年晚些時候登陸 AppStore，屆時 iPhone 使用者也可以下載安裝這款模擬器並載入一些復古遊戲。

「GXNOVA」：先前別人試過讓PPSSPP登陸iOS

PPSSPP是一個自由、開源、跨平台的PlayStation Portable模擬器。由於它是開源的，其實，先前已經有許多人試過讓PPSSPP登陸到iOS上。只是由於蘋果以前對模擬器的政策一概都是不准，因此多半的方式都是需要越獄。

不過，前兩年則有一個APP叫做「GXNOVA」，意外躲過蘋果的審查曾經上架到App Store上過。因為當時它是偽裝成GXNOVA 手把控制器 APP，騙過了蘋果的整合機制。但是實際上它還內建了PPSSPP 模擬器以及下載 PSP的遊戲平台。因此，曾經有一段時間受到許多人的歡迎。不過，現在也已經消失了。

蘋果可能不會答應

那麼，現在PPSSPP如果真要上到iOS，會有什麼問題呢？

根據 AppStore 指南，只有當遊戲模擬器提供內建遊戲或作為應用程式內下載提供時，蘋果才允許遊戲模擬器發佈到 AppStore。

為此開發者 Henrik 表示，如果蘋果放寬限制並允許使用者選擇他們自行下載到iPhone中的遊戲檔案，那麼他非常樂意發佈 iOS 版 PPSSPP。

為什麼要強調這個問題呢？原因在於多數模擬器開發者提供的模擬器只是單純的模擬器，使用者下載模擬器後可以自行載入遊戲檔案。如此一來，這樣模擬器的開發者就可以不用對遊戲版權問題去負責。

如果按照蘋果規定，開發者必須在模擬器提供內建遊戲，或者透過自己的伺服器存放遊戲供使用者下載，那麼對開發者來說，如果他所提供的遊戲存在版權問題，那麼就無法發佈了。

因此，這個問題的解決方案就在於蘋果是否允許模擬器呼叫 iOS 的檔案應用，如果支援呼叫的話，玩家可以自行下載遊戲檔案，然後在模擬器裡通過檔案選擇這個檔案進行匯入。

按照目前 AppStore 的規則來說， Henrik 的這個想法可能太過天真，蘋果可能不會對此點頭。

不過，其實還有第三種辦法。那就是目前還是有一些遊戲的開發者對舊型遊戲機有偏愛，因此會針對那些已經被淘汰的遊戲機開發遊戲。由於這類遊戲僅是開發者基於個人愛好所進行，也並不是以營利為目標，因此或許可以取得他們的同意，去放在 iOS 版 PPSSPP內當成內建遊戲，那就沒有版權的問題了。

不過，如果是早期的紅白機、超任，或許這類型遊戲比較好找。但是有沒有針對PSP開發的這一類素人遊戲則不是很清楚。如果Henrik可以找到這樣的合作對象，大家就可皆大歡喜。

Kia 汽車調整未來戰略，混合動力車型扮演更重要角色

在全球各大車廠普遍下修電動車產量目標的氛圍下，韓國 Kia 汽車也更新了未來戰略與財務目標，混合動力車款未來將會扮演更為吃重的角色。Kia 將 2030 年電氣化汽車（EV+PBV）年銷量目標設定為 430 萬輛，其中混合動力車款將由今年的 6 款，擴展至 2028 年的 9 款，而電動車陣容也會隨著 EV2、EV3、EV4 和 EV5 等新車型的加入持續擴增。

▲ Kia 最新公開的未來戰略，將會增加混合動力車款的陣線及銷售比例。

Kia 表示，汽車產業格局的不確定性，讓電動車市場出現變化，為了確保持續推動品牌轉型，Kia 因此更新了中長期業務計畫。在電動車（EV）、混合動力車（HEV）和插電式混合動力車（PHEV）方面，Kia 設定了 2030 年 430 萬輛的年銷量目標，其中包括 160 萬輛 EV 車型。

Kia 預定將會增加 HEV 和 PHEV 在整個產品線中的比例，因此將會推出更多混合動力車，從 2024 年的 6 款車型，增加到 2026 年的 8 款，到了 2028 年，品牌中就會有 9 款的混合動力車型。

而在 EV 產品方面，在 2026 年之前會有 6 款車型，預計 2027 年就會擴增到 15 款，同時也會提升電池效能，確保成本競爭力。2024 年預計推出 EV3，隨後在美國、歐洲和韓國等主要市場，還會推出 EV3、EV4、EV5 等新車型，還會為特定的新興市場推出兩款電動車，包括印度的 Carens EV。

此外，Kia 還計畫在全球 13 家工廠（7 家在韓國，6 家在海外）生產電動車和燃油車。

因應中國品牌的崛起，Kia 將加強在新興市場的產品和品質競爭力，預期 2027 年可增加 25 萬輛年產量。

Kia 並允諾透過 OTA、ADAS 技術強化產品競爭力，將車輛的連網服務擴展至亞太、中東和中南美洲，預期 2026 年可在 74 個國家提供連網服務。此外，Kia 也將推動 PBV 市場的 B2C 及 B2B 業務，同時設定 2030 年 PB5（2025 年推出）和 PB7（2027 年推出）兩款車型的年銷量為 25 萬輛目標。

Kia 即將在今年推出的 EV3 和 K4，都會導入生成式 AI 人工智慧語音服務，今年還會為 EV6、K8 和 Sportage 推出改款升級車型，搭配 K3 五門和 EV6 GT 衍生車型的上市，希望可以達成今年市佔 3.8% 年度目標。

鴻海被曝擬推行輪值CEO制度 培養未來領導人才

據報導，鴻海正在規劃讓輪值CEO制度化，目的是培養未來領導人才和落實公司治理。

知情人士稱，考慮中的一個選項，是會有四個輪值CEO的職位，每次輪值時間為六個月。這是鴻海首次將集中在董事長手中的經營決策，下放到四個人。

知情人士強調細節尚未敲定，且仍有變數。其中一位消息人士說，雖然鴻海集團的創始人郭台銘已淡出鴻海，但他對公司仍具一定影響力，這也是要考慮的變數之一。

至於輪值CEO人選，據傳可能由不同的高層擔任，此制度實行範圍將僅限於鴻海集團的六大事業群以及部分中央單位。

據瞭解，鴻海集團的六大事業群分別被稱為「A、B、C、D、E、S事業群」，涵蓋了智慧型手機、穿戴式裝置、平板電腦、筆電、智慧音箱、智慧辦公、智慧家居、液晶電視、遊戲機、電控模組、半導體裝置、功率放大器等多個業務。郭台銘在2019年卸任鴻海董事長後，由劉揚偉接替郭台銘，出任鴻海的新董事長。

鴻海「一人統治」時代的終結

在成為董事長之前，劉揚偉是鴻海半導體次集團總經理，同時也是夏普公司的董事會成員，他在2007年加入鴻海並擔任郭台銘的特別助理。

對於接班人的要求，郭台銘也曾在採訪中表示：「被我罵得越凶，越有可能是接班人，接班人肯定不是跟我創業的這群人，年齡太近，我一定要年齡跟我差20歲的。」

不過，儘管劉揚偉出任鴻海新任董事長，但鴻海的管理模式還是類似集體領導，董事會下設經營管理委員會九人小組，有些決策先在經營管理委員會形成共識然後提交給董事會做決策。

當時，鴻海的經營委員會的九人小組，包含四位董事候選人，鴻海副總裁兼亞太電信董事長呂芳銘、鴻海S次集團總經理暨京鼎董事長劉揚偉、鴻騰精密主席盧松青、工業富聯副董事長李傑；其他五人則為鴻海集團副總裁暨集團總財務長黃秋蓮、財務長黃德才、夏普董事候選人林忠正、鴻海B次集團負責人姜志雄、富士康執行總經理林政輝。

今年3月14日，鴻海發佈了2023年年度報告，去年實現營收6.16兆元新台幣，超出市場預期，但營收同比下滑7%。全年淨利潤為1421.0億元新台幣，超出預期，同比基本持平。

在財報發佈後的法人說明會上，公司管理層表示，AI伺服器將會是鴻海未來成長的主要動能之一，預計2024年該項業務營收增超40%，整體伺服器營收佔比將達40%以上，GPU模組（即AI晶片模組）的同比增幅也將超過三位數。

Game Description

Hunt through the wastelands for colossal Beasts in this roguelike deckbuilder. Beware! Beasts grow stronger during battle, allowing them to consume your creatures or counter your spells. Carve profane Gifts from these behemoths and grow stronger to serve your Patron! But serve them to what end?

Hunt the Beasts
Test your wits and your deck against titanic creatures called Beasts, who evolve as you fight them! Rush them down before they reach their potential, or bring large threats of your own to match their strength. Feel the tension of fighting a giant and the excitement of triumphing against the odds with each encounter!

Their Rage Builds
As you fight a Beast, their rage will grow and they will unlock new abilities! Beat the whimsical Gilded Grifter at his cup game to gain an advantage. Or, feed The Yearning Woods’ Consume ability, which fills its health bar and its stomach… until eventually it bursts!

Cut Off their Limbs!
Fight back against the Beasts by infesting them with various swarms of insects, setting parts of them on fire, even cutting off limbs and depriving them of their abilities. Interaction with the Beasts lies at the heart of Acolyte of the Altar.

Gifts From Above… Or Below?
After slaying a Beast for the first time, you can offer their body to your Patron, who will carve a new Gift. At the start of a new area, your Patron will bless you with a choice of these gifts that can dramatically alter how you hunt. Take the Crumbling Monument’s Skyscraper Sword and make your tallest creatures even bigger. Or capture the elusive Mini Jelly who will zap enemies when you cast spells! However, these profane gifts weigh down your spirit by varying amounts, so be careful with your choices!

摩根大通CEO：AI的影響堪比印刷機、蒸汽機、電力和電腦

摩根大通CEO Jamie Dimon在其年度股東信中稱，AI對人類的影響堪比印刷機、蒸汽機、電力、電腦和Internet。

在今年的股東信中，Dimon將AI列為第一個話題。他說：「雖然我們還不確定AI對我們業務的全部影響，以及發展速度；也不知道它將如何影響整個社會。但我們完全相信，其影響力是非同尋常的。」

Dimon說：「它可能與過去幾百年的一些重大技術發明一樣具有變革性，比如印刷機、蒸汽機、電力、電腦和Internet。」

Dimon表示摩根大通目前擁有2000多名AI和機器學習員工，以及資料科學家。最終，這項技術可能會影響到摩根大通約31萬名員工，幫助其中一些員工執行任務，同時也將取代另一些員工。

他說：「我們預計，隨著時間的演進，AI有可能對我們幾乎每一個工作職位帶來幫助，同時也會影響我們的勞動力構成。它可能會減少某些工作類別或角色，但也可能會創造其他工作類別或角色。」

除了AI外，他也提及其他經濟議題，包括相信通貨膨脹壓力短期內有所緩和，但長遠而言，地緣局勢緊張，財政開支過度，全球貿易重整，綠色經濟須大量資金等因素，可能讓通脹長期保持相當高的水平，情況類似1970年代。他也認為，市場估計美國經濟有7至8成機會軟着陸，而他個人相信，真正成功軟着陸的機率低於此數。

With the launch of the M3 MacBook Pro last year, many reviewers and customers criticized the company for still selling premium computers with 8GB of RAM. At the time, Apple said that 8GB in a Mac is equivalent to having 16GB of RAM in a Windows PC. Now the company is again arguing in favor of selling Macs with 8GB of RAM in 2024.

即日起上市的 Pure Cloud Block Store for AVS 讓儲存與運算節點能各自獨立擴充，大幅改善總體擁有成本，並將多年來 VMware 企業儲存功能帶到雲端

擁有全球最先進資料儲存技術與服務的IT先驅Pure Storage，宣布推出第一套專為 Microsoft Azure VMware Solution 設計的雲端區塊式儲存，用來改善 Azure 內 VMware 工作負載的總體擁有成本（TCO）。針對擁有儲存密集型 VMware 工作負載的客戶，Pure Cloud Block Store提供了彈性，以符合 Azure VMware Solution 運算需求與儲存容量需求，將雲端支出最佳化。

▲ Pure Storage 推出業界第一套專為 Azure VMware Solution 設計的雲端區塊式儲存

隨著雲端加速普及，企業紛紛希望將所有或部分 VMware 環境移轉至雲端（其中絕大部分都需要用到區塊式儲存），但相較於企業就地部署的環境，雲端得面對儲存階層管理不一致的挑戰，而且還不能獨立擴充運算和儲存資源來配合資料的成長。

Microsoft Azure VMware Solution 讓客戶將 VMware 工作負載從企業內資料中心移轉或擴展至 Azure。然而，一些現有的儲存密集型 VMware 工作負載卻因為移動成本過高而作罷。

Pure Storage 的解決方案有助於突破這項瓶頸，讓客戶最佳化自己的儲存規模以及在 Azure VMware Solution 上的花費，如此一來就能將 VMware 移轉至 Azure，並且將客戶幾十年來習慣的地端 VMware 體驗帶到公有雲上。

Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solution 能為客戶帶來以下效益：

絕佳的效率且最佳化的雲端成本：Pure Cloud Block Store 將儲存與運算資源分開，讓客戶獨立擴充儲存容量而不必擴充運算節點。此外，Pure Storage 也將先進的資料減量技術，如資料去重複化、資料壓縮及規律資料消除技術帶到雲端。若再配合精簡配置技術，就能確保高效率且最佳化的儲存。

一家美國的飲料製造大廠為 Pure Storage 的客戶，他們預測利用 Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solution 的最佳化能節省約 50% 的成本，並為其企業內 VMware 工作負載部署一套完整災難復原解決方案。

將 VMware 移轉至 Azure VMware Solution：藉由將儲存與運算資源分開的能力，客戶能把過去需要驚人移轉成本的 VMware 工作負載移轉至 Azure VMware Solution。如此一來他們就能善用 Azure VMware Solution 所帶來的好處，而不會過度增加成本。

另一家 Pure Strorage 客戶計畫採用 Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solution來將儲存容量超過 500TiB 的 VMware 工作負載移轉到 Azure。他們選擇這套聯合解決方案的原因是：既可以加快他們的移轉計畫，又能有效管理成本。他們估計一旦這些工作負載移轉完成，大約可以省下 50% 的成本。

支援混合式部署與資料行動性：當客戶在就地部署環境和 Azure 上都採用了 Pure Storage 之後，就能實現真正的資料行動性，並建立一個混合式 VMware 部署環境。Pure Storage 客戶在必要時可利用 Evergreen//One 訂閱將儲存容量從企業內 FlashArray 系統重新配置到 Azure 內的 Pure Cloud Block Store。

一家全國性醫療機構選擇了 Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solution 來實現災難復原。由於是 Pure Storage 的既有客戶，他們知道自己將獲得與就地部署的 FlashArray 相同的功能。

使用 Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solution 既能讓他們複製資料，又能在發生災難復原事件之前減少所需的運算節點。這套解決方案為他們提供了真正按需求、可擴充的災難復原。

Pure Storage 亞太暨日本地區副總裁 Nathan Hall 表示：「Pure Cloud Block Store for Azure VMware Solution 可說是 Pure Storage 與 Microsoft 進一步合作的具體成果。Pure Storage 與 Microsoft 共同實現了自動化整合，以確保儲存容量能正確配置到客戶的 Azure VMware Solution 環境，並提供一致的管理而無須額外調校。我們很高興將這套解決方案帶給我們的客戶。」

Game Description On the night of March 14th 2001, exactly one day after the incident at Yeondu High, four individuals return to the school in search of answers to the unsolved mysteries that haunt them.

Episode 1: Disturbed by rumours of her involvement in the death of a fellow student, Jung Soo-jin is determined to set the record straight and regain the trust of her crush Jang Sung-tae. But as the pair search for clues, they learn of a far darker secret deep within the bowels of the school, and become prey in a relentless hunt.

Episode 2: At the same time, former teacher-in-training Kang Seo-yeon arrives to investigate the ambiguous circumstances surrounding her father’s passing on the school grounds. Drawing on her knowledge of the occult, Seo-yeon attempts to reverse an ancient ritual while evading a powerful and malicious ghost that is inexorably drawn to her.

Episode 3: Having made a promise that can’t be broken, 1st year student Yoo Ji-min searches for a way to bring peace to the restless spirit of Han Na-young. Delving deeper into the tragic history of the school and the complex relationships between its students, Ji-min makes a fateful discovery that will lift the veil of obscurity once and for all.
