Gamer’s Rejoice, Gamescom Asia Will Still Happen; in 2021 That is.

Leave a comment

Video games are a big part of our lives. The industry continues to grow and fascinate anyone who cares to look at its stats. In Asia, the industry grows at a pace that is quite unprecedented.

The only thing missing in the grander scheme of things in Malaysia is a big gaming convention that we can liken to E3 in the United States, or Comic Con, or PAX East, or even Gamescom. Well, that was about to change later in the year with Gamescom Asia happening in Singapore from the 16th to 18th of October 2020.

So far, they have been adamant about holding the event in 2020. The mounting pressure that surrounds COVID-19 situations globally though is not encouraging. That is why they have made the decision to postpone the event instead to 2021.

The new dates are 14th to 17th of October in 2021. Yes, it is happening in the final quarter of 2021, about a year after the 2020 dates. It may not be a bad thing though. We are seeing large improvements over the COVID-19 situation currently and would most likely see a large improvement in the coming year with vaccine’s produced and circulated.

While we are going to not see the world’s biggest convention coming to Asia this coming October, we remain excited for the upcoming Gamescom Asia happening next year October 2021. They have reported that the participations and requests for Gamescom Asia 2020 has been quite overwhelming. They also mentioned that there will be AAA title publishers present in the Asia leg of their convention. It will be a world class event, they say. We are hopeful that we would see it too.

Gamescom Asia 2021 will be held, as mentioned, from the 14th to 17th of October in Singapore still. The convention will be housed in Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre; that is right in the heart of Singapore. For more information on Gamescom Asia, you can head over to their website.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Gets More EPYC with AMD Powered Instances

1 Comment

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the most prolific web service platform in the world. In fact, it’s estimated that over half of the world’s small and medium businesses have adopted the technology platform as their platform of choice when it comes to dealing with cloud services for their needs. AWS provides one of the most diverse platforms supporting Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and even rudimentary data storage. They provide their different services as deployable modules which allow companies to deploy and terminate instances as they need to.

AMD is one of the latest additions to the platforms array of instance which can be deployed. The new AMD EPYC instances will be powering the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) C5a instances. These instances will be powered by AMD’s 2nd generation server grade EPYC processors which also power one of the largest supercomputers in the world. The AMD EPYC processors will be able to run at frequencies of up to 3.3GHz and will be able to provide users with high performance x86 processing for large compute workloads. This includes batch processing, distributed analytics, data transformations, log analytics and web applications.

The new EPYC powered C5a instance joins the increasing number of AMD powered instances available on AWS. It will be available in eight configurations with up to 96 virtual CPUs (vCPUs). The new AMD EPYC powered instance also delivers on AMD’s promise of being able to deliver high performance compute at affordable prices. On AWS, the new C5a instance is the one of the lowest cost per x86 vCPU in Amazon’s portfolio.

The C5a instance is already available in AWS U.S. East, AWS U.S. West, AWS Europe and AWS Asia Pacific regions. AMD also has five other instances already available on AWS under the EC2 catalogue: M5a, M5ad, R5a, R5ad and T3a. These instances also provide users with compute capabilities that are catered to their needs and price points.

Wistron Receives TUV Rheinland Eyesafe Display Certification for Low Blue-Light Panels

Leave a comment

TAIPEI, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The recent surge in working from home and tele-education due to the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a new wave of demand. Personal computer peripherals such as keyboards, monitors, and notebook computers have all seen a large jump in sales. Communication during the pandemic means people are now spending more time video-conferencing on mobile phones, computers, and other displays. Their eyes are therefore being exposed to blue light for longer periods of time. Some quick-thinking IT companies such as Wistron are responding to this trend by taking the lead in incorporating the health requirements of end users. They are now improving the quality of eye protection at the hardware level without compromising on color accuracy. As a result, TUV Rheinland recently issued TUV Rheinland Eyesafe Display certification for two panels from Wistron. The certification boosts buyer confidence by confirming that the panels comply with the relevant standards.

Wistron Receives TUV Rheinland Eyesafe Display Certification for Low Blue-Light Panels

New research by the U.S. market research firm AC Nielsen has found that people today spend on average of more than 13 hours a day in front of a display. TUV Rheinland first launched the eye comfort revolution in the display market in 2014 by developing the first low blue-light standard for monitors. Traditional monitor safety standards were upgraded to the advanced eye protection standard, and a number of the related displays have since been developed by vendors with TUV Rheinland assistance. In March this year, TUV Rheinland partnered with Eyesafe® to launch TUV Rheinland Eyesafe Display certification to promote good vision and keep pace with technological progress. The new standard is based on the TUV Rheinland low blue-light standard. More than 250 ophthalmologists and optometrists with experience in clinical health and safety research contributed to its development. Consumers can use the TUV Rheinland’s Certipedia.com to see which products have received this display certification.

Tony Chen, Deputy General Manager of Display BU at Wistron, says: “Applying for TUV Rheinland Eyesafe Display certification not only confirmed that our product complies with leading management standards on blue-light and color performance. In keeping with the trend towards consumer health, this also showed that Wistron has always been at the forefront of the market developing electronic products that are beneficial to the health of customers.”

Wistron is one of the key suppliers of consulting services and communication products for the top 10 ICT brands in the world. Its products encompass notebooks, tablets, desktop computers, monitors, portable navigation devices, servers, and network storage equipment. Wistron strives to supply consumers with popular innovative electronic products and help customers market their brands around the world. It has been included in Fortune’s Top 500 large enterprises for many consecutive years.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Propzy, a full-stack real estate platform based in Vietnam, has raised $25 million in a Series A round of funding led by Gaw Capital and Softbank Ventures, along with new and existing investors, Next Billion Ventures, RHL Ventures Breeze, FEBE Ventures, RSquare, and Insignia.

The company will also continue its expansion into leasing services by leveraging the online to offline capabilities of its platform, which has recorded 50% month-over-month growth.

 As the only “firetech” (financial, insurance and real estate technology) company in Vietnam, the company pioneered the hybrid online to offline model that offers a full-stack real estate platform.

“Propzy is an example of the many macroeconomic successes in Vietnam. With its innovative breakthrough in real estate’s offline to online business models, we see the immense potential of Propzy to skyrocket,” said Gaw Capital’s Managing Partner, Humbert Pang.

Despite this, however, the real estate industry still lags in terms of its adoption of new technology. 

“Sellers see uncovering buyers needs as a headache that slows the buying process. Therefore, we invited a group of world-class investors to provide an advanced solution. With the largest number of estate agents in Vietnam – around 400 sales staff operating in 30 locations – we have facilitated over $1 billion in property transactions since inception and anticipate another record-setting year of growth, as we continue to expand,” said Founder and CEO of Propzy, John Le.

Vietnam’s robust economy is one of the fastest-growing in Southeast Asia. Research by the World Bank found that 70% of Vietnam’s population is considered economically secure. Propzy is now well-positioned to scale its market leadership to 70 centers and 1,300 advisors nationwide over the next 18 months.

“The security that the Vietnamese economy offers to property investors and homebuyers is ideal for Propzy to thrive. We are excited to support the company in its mission to enable a 10X consumer experience in real estate,” said Daniel Kang, Senior Partner of SoftBank Ventures Asia.

Datrium Transforms The University of Auckland’s Data Center Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery Strategy

Leave a comment

Leading University in New Zealand Replaces Aging Infrastructure with Datrium’s Cloud-based Disaster Recovery and Converged Infrastructure Solutions

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Datrium, the leader in cloud-native disaster recovery with ransomware protection, today announced that The University of Auckland in New Zealand has selected Datrium DVX and Datrium DRaaS with VMware Cloud on AWS solutions to modernize its infrastructure by leveraging the cloud and unifying compute, storage, backup and disaster recovery (DR). Challenged with aging infrastructure and an expensive and complex data center environment, the University’s infrastructure services team, supported by its Premier Partner, BEarena, an ASI Solutions company, chose Datrium for its cost-effective, easy-to-manage, VMware-centric solutions with built-in data resiliency and powerful DR capabilities. Datrium DRaaS with VMware Cloud on AWS offers flexible and scalable on-demand cloud DR with instant Recovery Time Objective (RTO), easy failover and failback without requiring VM conversions.

As New Zealand’s leading university, The University of Auckland manages two large-scale data centers that serve 40,000 students and over 5,000 staff with a core value of conserving, advancing and disseminating knowledge at a high standard through teaching, learning, research and creative work. As part of its digital transformation strategy, the infrastructure services team is embracing its agile operation model to deliver better outcomes to its users.

“As part of our digital transformation efforts, we’re modernizing critical infrastructure including our data centers to empower our IT team to work more efficiently,” said Sanit Kumar, Infrastructure Services Portfolio Manager (ISPM) – Cloud, Network and Datacentre Services at The University of Auckland. “Datrium checked all our boxes. We were looking for a simplified solution that combines compute, storage, backup and disaster recovery, and aligns with VMware so we no longer require separate storage, VMware and backup teams. The power of Datrium’s converged approach and on-demand disaster recovery to VMware Cloud on AWS and instant RTO capability also brings our team major cost savings.”

The University of Auckland was introduced to Datrium technology by BEarena, an ASI Solutions company. BEarena and ASI Solutions have applied their market-leading hyperconverged experience to Datrium technology to help their customers reduce cost, simplify management and move to a hybrid cloud model.

“Rather than provide the University a like-for-like replacement, we scoured the market for the best solution to achieve their business objectives. Ultimately, Datrium helped the University collapse three infrastructure silos into a single cross-functional team that uses automated management so they can focus on strategic priorities,” said Country Manager Lloyd Vickery.  “Datrium has exceeded our expectations in every area—blazing performance, dramatic total cost of ownership improvements, world-class support, consolidated management—and the list goes on. I couldn’t be happier with Datrium and more proud that we are supporting The University of Auckland in continuing its achievements as a world-leading university.”

BEarena and ASI Solutions are the first Datrium DRaaS Select resellers to achieve the highest level of partnership in the region. As Datrium’s first partner in ANZ and exclusive DRaaS Select partners and resellers, BEarena and ASI Solutions deliver significant cost savings, advanced operational intelligence, faster deployment times and simplified DR solutions to their customers. Lloyd Vickery is also the first Datrium DVX Certified Deployment professional in the world; achieving this distinction entails the completion of a rigorous curriculum and passing a certification test. BEarena and ASI Solutions customers benefit from working with highly skilled professionals in the deployment of Datrium to ensure they receive the fastest ROI and best customer experience.

Nathan Lowe, Managing Director of ASI Solutions added, “ASI Solutions is extremely excited to be working with Datrium. An innovative company that is transforming data lifecycle management through a single powerful platform delivering speed, agility and efficiency, Datrium allows our customers to focus on strategic initiatives.”

Datrium DRaaS with VMware Cloud on AWS is a new approach to DR and offers a cloud-native design, built-in backup, instant RTO, continuous compliance and an on-demand pay-as-you-go model. Datrium DRaaS allows organizations to make the cloud their DR site at a fraction of the cost of a second data center. When combined with Datrium DVX software, organizations get the fastest recovery time and simplified data management capabilities.

“Given the enormous rise in ransomware attacks and other disasters, a modern approach to DR is critical. However, it doesn’t need to be an expensive, complicated and unreliable process,” said Datrium CEO Tim Page. “With our on-demand cloud resources, The University of Auckland will be able to recover from a disaster quickly while keeping cloud costs low. We look forward to helping the University transition to cloud DR and supporting its on-premises infrastructure requirements.”

Join Datrium and The University of Auckland for a webinar on June 30, at 1pm PDT to learn more.

About Datrium
Datrium, the leader in cloud-native disaster recovery with ransomware protection, automates data protection against modern threats and enables enterprises to pay for DR when they need it. Datrium Disaster Recovery as a Service with VMware Cloud on AWS (DRaaS) is an easy-to-use SaaS solution that delivers the industry’s first instant RTO cloud DR from backups on AWS S3 and protects all VMware workloads in the cloud and on-premises. Secure by design with always-on encryption, Datrium’s DR with built-in cloud backup is transforming the DR market, empowering enterprises to create their own failproof, on-demand data centers in the public cloud where they only pay for recovery when disaster strikes or for testing. Until now, DR has been a complicated and brittle manual process that needs to interact with many disparate components in the data center. The advent of the cloud has made it possible for Datrium to convert this complex process into a simple-to-use, fully automated SaaS application that delivers 10x more cost-efficient DR. By converging primary, backup, disaster recovery, mobility and encryption into a single multicloud platform called Automatrix™, Datrium maintains fast performance at any scale and enables frictionless data portability between public clouds and on-premises data centers. Data services are consistent across clouds and resource orchestration is automated so applications run at peak performance with increased system resilience and reduced data recovery windows. Liberated from managing data infrastructure, IT teams can drive more strategic initiatives for their businesses and application users can get back to productivity faster. Trusted by global enterprises including eMeter – A Siemens Business, vPay® and Stearns, Datrium is DR done right.™

Timekettle Expands Functions of Award-Winning Translation Device to Incorporate Music and Phone-Call

Leave a comment

LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — It was just three years ago that Timekettle introduced its WT2 Plus translator earbuds to an audience eager for a device to instantaneously facilitate multilingual conversations. Now the company that has inspired a following in 120 countries around the world has created the Timekettle M2 – a product that takes translation capabilities to the next level while incorporating a function that customers have been clamoring for: Music and Phone-call.

Timekettle M2 - Realtime Translator with Music and Phone-call
Timekettle M2 – Realtime Translator with Music and Phone-call

An indiegogo campaign to speed the product’s time to market launched on Tuesday, June 9th, 9:00 am (GMT-7) with early supporters getting deep discounts and early access to the product. The Timekettle M2 wireless earbuds, which are compatible with both iOS and Android, are the result of over two years of research, development, time spent gathering customer feedback and beta testing. Timekettle M2 builds on the live translation functions of the award-winning WT2 Plus translator earbuds combined with phone call capabilities and Bluetooth connection to the user’s music library or streaming service – in stereo. Users can switch between songs with the tap of the device.

The translation functions comprise three translation modes – Touch Mode, Lesson Mode and Speaker Mode – in 40 languages and 93 accents. Sentences are translated and play right in the other person’s ear in real time, making for more natural and accurate multilingual conversations and meetings in the Touch Mode. In Lesson Mode, users place their phone on a surface to capture and translate classroom or movie and television content. Speaker Mode translates the user’s spoken sentences that then play through the phone’s speaker.

Timekettle M2 is water resistant, offers voice and touch control and features a secure, comfortable ergonomic fit. The device has a battery life that allows up to six hours of listening and translating on one charge; and the wireless charging case supports an additional 30 hours of battery life. One of the most anticipated features though is its offline capability – making it the only translator available that does not require users to be connected to a cellular network.

“We wanted to give users an even more seamless experience to promote smooth, improved interpersonal communication while giving people ready access to their music – whether they are online or offline,” explained Leal Tian, CEO of Timekettle.

Timekettle has earned a stellar reputation for its use of proprietary AI and intuitive product designs and has won a dozen international design awards that have been reported on media globally.

“Our flagship WT2 Plus translator earbuds was fully funded through a crowdfund campaign and it has grown to be one of the best-selling translators on Amazon and recommended by almost 300,000 people around the world. We are excited to see how the public responds to the incorporation of the music and phone-call features as they were the most requested function our loyal customers asked for,” added Leal Tian.
