HelloTalk, the world’s largest language exchange app, releases over 70 free courses in six languages for COVID-19 education and language learning content for those in isolation

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — HelloTalk, a global language learning app and community with 20 million users, is offering a series of free online courses for self-quarantined language learners to pick up a new language through the app without leaving their home.

More than 70 on-demand and large-scale live classes are now available for free in six languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and Spanish), which are taught using HelloTalk’s e-learning platform. New courses have been added specifically for COVID-19 education, in an effort to help users communicate more clearly with doctors or seek assistance while studying, working, or traveling in a foreign country.

Non-medical related topics are discussed in a livestream format, such as how to maintain productivity while working from home. To date, these courses are available to those living in Mainland China, Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe.

HelloTalk also launched a number of community activities in response to the pandemic, including a shared moment of silence with more than 30,000 users across the globe for those affected by COVID-19.

Along with courses, HelloTalk enables individuals around the world to learn a new language while staying home by chatting with native speakers right from their phone during the quarantine. Each partner teaches the other their native language for free, which is referred to as a “language exchange.” This provides a unique opportunity to chat about the coronavirus situation with locals while learning a new language.

Users are able to engage with each other in multiple ways. One-on-one conversations can be conducted through text, voice, and video calls. Powerful language learning tools like instant translations, corrections, and transliterations help partners converse easily, even without having a firm grasp of their target language. Additionally, users can post and participate in public discussions, which is helpful for understanding the pandemic from a local’s perspective.

HelloTalk’s vision is to use their platform to build a community that strives for cultural understanding and inclusiveness. “Our hope is to spread positivity throughout the world, and in doing so, narrow down the gap between races and cultures. We believe fostering and improving communication among all humans can have an extraordinary impact on uniting us and reducing conflict in the world,” said HelloTalk founder and CEO, Zackery Ngai.

About HelloTalk, Ltd.

Launched in 2012 by Zackery Ngai, HelloTalk is one of the world’s largest language learning and cross-cultural exchange apps. The service is used by 20 million users in 200 countries to learn languages by communicating with each other. HelloTalk uses a proprietary algorithm to best match language partners who are studying each other’s native language, which is called a “language exchange.” AI assisted learning tools are built into the app to make conversing in a foreign language easier, including instant translations, transliterations, transcriptions, partner corrections, and more. HelloTalk also provides course content as both self-guided lessons and livestream classes with instructors. More than 150 languages are supported, such as Chinese, English, Japanese, French, Korean, German, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Thai, and Hindi.

These industry awards coincide with their global unveiling of the TCL 10-Series smartphone lineup this month. The awards are from two world-renowned international competitions with over 6,000 entries this year. The criteria are based on a comprehensive evaluation of design, innovativeness, and functionality. As of today, TCL accounts for 13% of the global market and is growing the brand value beyond Asia into North America, European Union, United Kingdom and APAC. TCL is using its reputation as a world-leading TV brand and manufacturer to support their branded smartphone product line. TCL is also excited in creating a vibrant and wide-ranging C-IOT Portfolio of products to support connected home ecosystems. So beyond smartphones, TCL is also offering products such as the 5G CPE Home Station, Mesh Routers, Wi-Fi Routers, and Smart Watches.

TCL intends to enter the mid-range market and deliver the best product for the money while ensuring a premium experience for the user.

The strategy of TCL to support the C-IOT fully and offer consumers a complete seamless product line is an efficient endeavor and long overdue for the current state of digital ecosystems. When all the components can be supplied from the same manufacturer and engineering teams, the system will work better. This strategy is meant for both commercial and private usage and supports the networking of both for work and study from home, and leisure activities.

New Hitachi Vantara Virtual Storage Platform Drastically Lowers Data Storage Costs and Simplifies Data Infrastructure Management for Midsize Enterprises

Leave a comment

BANGKOK, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today introduced Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E990, the company’s new storage platform for midsize enterprise customers.

The E990’s high performance and low latency supercharge business applications, and industry-leading data de-duplication guarantees storage cost reductions. Hitachi Ops Center‘s powerful artificial intelligence (AI)-driven management software can also dramatically simplify storage provisioning for AI, machine learning (ML) and containerized applications. The E990 with Hitachi Ops Center provides an NVMe all-flash option for Hitachi Vantara’s family of solutions for midsize enterprises, adding to a broad portfolio of powerful infrastructure solutions that feature best-in-class performance and include Hitachi’s signature 100% data availability guarantee for businesses of all sizes.

The company also unveiled EverFlex from Hitachi Vantara, a program that provides simple, elastic and comprehensive acquisition choices for the E990 and the entire Hitachi Vantara portfolio. EverFlex adds consumption-based pricing models that range from basic utility pricing, to custom outcome-based services, to Storage as a Service. It will align IT spend with business use for midsize enterprises, enabling effective ways to lower cost, avoid wasting capacity and eliminate disruption.

Industry-Leading Deduplication Reduces Storage Costs

With data volumes forecast to rise to 23%[1] and data storage budgets growing only 10%[2] on average, midsize enterprises urgently need solutions to reduce storage costs. The new Hitachi VSP E990 with Hitachi Ops Center delivers industry-leading 4:1 data deduplication – twice that of Hitachi’s closest competitor – guaranteeing to free up 75% of storage capacity[3].

AI-Enhanced Management Tools Radically Simplify Storage Provisioning

Industry analyst firm 451 Research, now a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, suggests 43%[4] of storage buyers feel unprepared to support increased future demands. Hitachi Vantara VSP E990 combined with Ops Center directly addresses this challenge. Ops Center’s AI-enhanced management streamlines storage delivery by up to 90%[3] for demanding applications. It also reduces manual storage provisioning tasks by up to 70%[3] and delivers root cause issue analysis four times faster to accelerate troubleshooting.

Trusted Performance that Won’t Break the Bank

Hitachi Vantara VSP E990 addresses the data infrastructure reliability challenges that many enterprises continue to face: One-third of enterprises still suffer outages[5] or significant performance degradation as a result of storage reliability issues. VSP E990 delivers Hitachi Vantara’s long-standing leadership in reliability to midsize enterprises at a price point they can afford. It features an all-NVMe architecture with the industry’s leading and lowest-cost IOPS (as low as $0.03 per IOPS) and ultra-low latency for the most resource-hungry business applications.

Predictable Pricing and Flexible Consumption

New EverFlex adds greater choice in consumption-based pricing models that make pricing predictable for cloud-like storage usage. It starts by enabling customers to pay only for what they use and align technology spending with business use to reduce costs by up to 20%[3], eliminating the need to pay for the essential reserve capacity that every installation needs. Added services are available to further reduce costs and avoid disruptions to business by providing outcome-based operational services that help deliver more consistent service levels without placing additional burden on staff.

VSP E990 is Supercharged for Partners, too

The VSP E990 is ideal for partners to deliver innovation and benefits important to midsize enterprise customers. Hitachi Vantara continues to invest in its predictable, profitable and pioneering partner program with enablement tools, marketing resources and incentives designed for distributors and resellers focused on midsize enterprises. Read the blog post by Hitachi Vantara Channel Chief Kimberly King to learn more about the opportunity VSP E990 presents for partners and to read commentary from the company’s global partner community.

Supporting Quotes

“With its Virtual Storage Platform E990 system, Hitachi is upping the ante in midrange storage. The VSP E990 is an all-NVMe system that is both storage-class memory (SCM) and NVMe-over-fabric (NVMEoF) ready, can scale to nearly 6 million IOPS and well over 16 petabytes of effective capacity, provides a ‘no questions asked’ 4:1 data reduction guarantee based on just compression and deduplication, and is backed by Hitachi’s 100-percent data availability guarantee,” said Eric Burgener, research vice president, Enterprise Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies, IDC. “Midrange enterprises that need room to grow for their mission-critical workloads should look at the compelling value proposition offered by the Hitachi VSP E990.”

“The VSP E990 is really compelling, especially the software,” said Eros Tibor, Team Coordinator, Central European Data Center Compute & Storage Team, KBC Group. “I would buy it.”

“Hitachi Vantara has led the storage industry for decades with proven, reliable data solutions that are time-tested for performance, availability and scalability and backed by our pioneering 100% data availability guarantee,” said Joe Ong, Vice President and General Manager, ASEAN at Hitachi Vantara.

“The VSP E990 storage solution is highly applicable to mid-size and enterprise customers in ASEAN that value cost savings, or that may need modular systems to scale, especially in the hybrid cloud space,” he added.

“A best-in-class, all-flash NVMe storage solution, the VSP E990 is as reliable as high-performance enterprise infrastructure, yet it has agility, which is critical for stability. The robust solution together with the Hitachi Ops Center and AIOps works harder, so that our customers can work smarter for their customers.”

Hitachi VSP E990, Hitachi Ops Center and EverFlex are available globally from Hitachi Vantara and its network of partners.
