SIT Rolos opens its Machine Intelligence Platform to academia and business to accelerate the research

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SIT Rolos announced today that it would bring research to a new level by opening its Machine Intelligence (MI) Platform to all scientific groups. Any researcher from academia or business can now configure, run and collaborate with others on their computational research project through Rolos Platform. Thanks to a user-friendly interface, no specific IT knowledge is required to use the Platform.

Rolos Platform addresses two major problems in research: infrastructure setup and teamwork. First, it provides premade infrastructure ready for research tasks with all the necessary resources out of the box – Graphics Processor Unit (GPU), Central Processing Unit (CPU), and storage. Researchers, therefore, no longer need to spend time on infrastructure setup and resource allocation. On the other hand, the Platform also ensures collaboration on a project – code and data versioning control, group editing, and consistent changes for all project participants.

Rolos allows its users to build their computational setups using the available cloud, on-premise servers, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters and save costs on running simulation experiments. SIT Rolos can also provide its own resources from the cloud infrastructure in SIT data centers.

Rolos Platform is available through two types of deployments:

  • as a SaaS solution (Software as a Service) in Rolos Cloud, that can be accessed at http://my.rolos.com; or
  • as an on-premises installation on the customer’s hardware cluster that provides the full stack of software to create a computational research lab.

In the words of Konstantin Novoselov, Nobel Prize Winner, Professor of Physics at the National University of Singapore, Rolos Platform is used “to unify data from different scientists, unleash the power of Big Data, and achieve exponential progress in research projects.”

Rolos Platform features include:

  • Computing and storage resources automatic provisioning
  • Research environment management
  • A workflow manager
  • An Interactive Papers publishing module

Join the introduction to Rolos Machine Intelligence Platform for Computation and Data Management on October 18 at 10 am CEST: https://web.sit.org/simplify-and-accelerate-research-lifecycle-rolos-webinar-oct-2022

During the webinar, you will see an overview of the Platform’s essential features and deep dive into the main current research scenarios.

Mosa Meat Scaling Beef Cultivation to Industrial Production Levels

Recent expansion to 77,000 sq ft. makes Mosa Meat the largest cultivated meat campus in the world.

Maastricht, The Netherlands, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mosa Meat, a leader in the cultivated meat space that grows beef directly from animal cells, and unveiled the first cultivated hamburger in 2013, has announced the next step in the scale up of the company’s cultivated beef production facilities.

A new industrial production development center is being developed close to Mosa Meat’s existing pilot facility in Maastricht. After demonstrating the beef cultivation process at pilot scale, Mosa Meat is now ready for the next phase of expansion, housing industrial-size production lines and enabling larger production quantities of beef.

“We’ve expanded our space by 30,000 square feet in our next phase, which brings Mosa Meat’s total footprint to over 77,000 square feet,” shared Maarten Bosch, Mosa Meat’s CEO. “This makes us the largest cultivated meat campus in the world, and provides a solid foundation for our European and global commercialisation plans.”

Global meat consumption is projected to grow more than 40% by 2030, and Mosa Meat is part of a growing global movement to transform the way meat is produced. Beef specifically, is the protein with the highest carbon footprint, which is why Mosa Meat has focused on it since the company was founded in 2016.

Mosa Meat has grown to over 160 employees, with over 80 scientists and the largest number of PhDs in the industry in just a few years’ time. The production team has grown five-fold in the last three months to 15 members. Simultaneously the company has also expanded its footprint at existing locations, including operations at Brightlands and the current pilot facility in Maastricht, where R&D capacity continues to grow. Together, this brings Mosa Meat one step closer towards commercialisation.

Mosa Meat plans to announce the launch of its industrial production development center in 2023.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Triller, the leading AI-powered creator platform, is taking its creator-first approach to the metaverse. Today, Triller announces their latest venture: the Metaverz, a first-of-its-kind virtual integrated digital, technology, media, and entertainment platform. Inside the Metaverz, fans can attend a virtual concert featuring their favorite artists or make their way past the velvet rope of a virtual nightclub and venture into a VIP room to interact with celebrities, influencers and creators.

“We are extremely excited to debut the Metaverz and open up direct access to creators from all corners of the world,” said Mahi de Silva, CEO of Triller. “We are committed to expanding offerings for our users, creators, and businesses, and entering the metaverse strategically positions Triller at the forefront of several compelling trends including Web3 and decentralization. We are now on the frontline of the future of creator content – from NFT-backed collectibles and memorabilia to virtual concerts to gaming and shopping, the Metaverz ecosystem will be groundbreaking.”

The Metaverz has north of $100 million in metaverse investment value today across various digital properties and assets, and is expected to grow rapidly. Triller’s Metaverz will operate at the intersection of music, sports, gaming, and live events. Users can engage with Triller’s record-breaking live sporting and music events that attract millions of viewers around the globe– including Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Triller Fight Club, Verzuz and many others – but also are able to engage with artists and other fans in a unique setting that brings the world to them.

The Metaverz is the latest example of how Triller is a powerful toolbox for the creators, by the creators. Triller allows them to monetize their connections like never before, with engagements as high as 73% versus 1% on other platforms, such as Instagram.

“Triller’s Metaverz underscores its commitment to empower creators everywhere to maximize their relationships with their fans, while developing powerful tools to connect brands and creators,” said de Silva. “Triller is breaking the mold of the closed garden networks, and the Metaverz will continue to pave the way for Triller as the leading creator platform, facilitating commerce and maximizing audience reach.”

Triller’s open garden network eliminates the large tech companies as intermediaries and puts the power back in the hands of the creators and their users, allowing them to connect directly with the brands that want to work with them.

La solution de réseau cloud intelligent de Huawei met à niveau ses capacités dans trois scénarios basés sur des technologies innovantes

DUBAÏ, Émirats arabes unis, 16 octobre 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Au salon HUAWEI CONNECT 2022 à Dubaï, Huawei a dévoilé les capacités améliorées de sa solution de réseau cloud intelligent lors du sommet « Intelligent Cloud-Network, Unleashing Digital Productivity » (La solution de réseau cloud intelligent libère la productivité numérique). Ces capacités, qui s’articulent autour de trois scénarios principaux (CloudFabric 3.0, CloudCampus 3.0 et CloudWAN 3.0), sont fournies pour répondre aux tendances de développement des réseaux. Huawei a également publié le Livre blanc L3.5 Data Center Autonomous Driving Network (Réseau de conduite autonome des centres de données L3.5), en collaboration avec la section IEEE-UAE et des clients pionniers, pour contribuer à l’industrie florissante des communications de données et libérer la productivité numérique.

L’évolution des activités des entreprises stimule le développement de l’infrastructure TIC des entreprises, et les réseaux IP (qui servent de pont entre les technologies de l’information et la téléphonie informatisée et couvrent toutes les procédures de production et de bureau des entreprises) constituent la base de la connectivité pour la transformation numérique de l’industrie. Les réseaux n’ont jamais été aussi importants qu’aujourd’hui.

Daniel Tang, CTO of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, delivers a speech entitled "Intelligent Cloud-Network, Leading Future Digital Innovation"

Daniel Tang, directeur technique de la gamme de produits de communication de données de Huawei, a fait la lumière sur la manière de répondre aux futures tendances de développement et de relever les défis en matière de réseau. Selon Daniel Tang, Huawei continue d’innover dans les technologies de communication de données dans des domaines tels que le Wi-Fi 7, le 400GE, l’IPv6 amélioré, la synergie multi-cloud, le réseau de conduite autonome et la sécurité omniprésente. Avec ces technologies innovantes, Huawei a amélioré ses capacités dans trois scénarios : CloudFabric 3.0, CloudCampus 3.0 et CloudWAN 3.0.

  • CloudFabric 3.0

Huawei CloudFabric 3.0 offre des capacités intelligentes de cycle de vie complet pour les réseaux multi-cloud et multi-fournisseurs basés sur la technologie ADN L3.5. Parmi les fonctionnalités remarquables, citons la gestion et le contrôle unifiés, l’orchestration et la collaboration flexibles, la simulation et la vérification, la prévision des risques, et l’exploitation et la maintenance unifiées pour les applications et les réseaux. De plus, cette solution facilite l’interconnexion avec les systèmes de gestion informatique des clients pour obtenir une automatisation de bout en bout. Les principaux résultats comprennent un déploiement, une exploitation et une maintenance ainsi qu’une évolution facile.

En s’appuyant sur les technologies ADN et Ethernet hyperconvergées de Huawei, Ankabut construit le premier centre de superinformatique HPC au monde avec un co-cluster Ethernet et InfiniBand.

Lors du sommet, Huawei, en collaboration avec la section IEEE-UAE, Ankabut des Émirats arabes unis et CBK du Koweït, a publié le Livre blanc L3.5 Data Center Autonomous Driving Network.

  • CloudCampus 3.0

Huawei a encore amélioré ses offres CloudCampus 3.0 en dévoilant une série de produits phares, dont le premier point d’accès Wi-Fi 7 de classe entreprise AirEngine 8771-X1T, le commutateur central phare de nouvelle génération CloudEngine S16700 et la passerelle d’entreprise hyperconvergée 4 en 1 NetEngine AR5710.

Huawei CloudCampus 3.0 aide les entreprises à simplifier leurs réseaux de campus sous quatre aspects : accès, architecture, branche et exploitation et maintenance (O&M).

  • CloudWAN 3.0

Dans le domaine du WAN, Huawei continue d’innover dans des technologies telles que le SRv6, le FlexE Slicing et la mesure IFIT basée sur les applications, et toutes ces technologies reposent sur l’IPv6 amélioré. Huawei a encore amélioré ses offres CloudWAN 3.0 pour obtenir une connectivité agile, une expérience déterministe et une O&M agile, et a lancé un routeur d’agrégation multi-services à ultra-haute densité, le NetEngine 8000 F8, pour améliorer la productivité numérique avec une connectivité agile.

Grâce à l’aide de Huawei, la province du Gauteng a déployé avec succès le premier réseau privé 100GE d’Afrique du Sud, le GBN.

Le futur monde numérique est plein d’incertitudes. Comme le dit le dicton, « Si vous voulez aller vite, allez-y seul. Si vous voulez aller loin, allez-y ensemble ». Conscient de cela, Huawei préconise fortement les partenariats et continuera de coopérer et d’innover avec davantage de clients et de partenaires dans le domaine de la communication de données. Vincent Liu, président du département des ventes de solutions et de marketing du réseau mondial d’entreprises de Huawei, a souligné que Huawei a mis en place de nombreux laboratoires d’innovation conjoints régionaux et OpenLabs. Grâce à ces laboratoires, Huawei est bien placé pour innover conjointement avec des clients issus de secteurs tels que les services publics, le pétrole et le gaz, l’électricité, la finance, l’éducation et les FAI. Ces efforts concertés portent leurs fruits dans de nombreux scénarios d’application à forte valeur et donnent des résultats remarquables. À ce jour, Huawei a déjà formé et certifié 188 000 ingénieurs en communication de données, fournissant ainsi un vaste bassin de talents en TIC pour la transformation numérique dans tous les secteurs.
