Leave a comment

NodeWeaver and NetFoundry Collaborate with Supermicro to Offer Retailers a Platform to Accelerate Digital Transformation

SAN JOSE, California, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced an advanced and customizable integrated platform targeting retail and chain store environments. Supermicro’s new platform combines proven hardware/software configurations to support the demand for processing the quantities of data emanating from the growing deployment of IoT and other interrelated computing devices. 

Supermicro’s Intelligent Retail Edge provides an integrated software-defined operating platform that significantly simplifies the deployment, management, orchestration, and networking of Edge infrastructure and applications. The platform runs on Supermicro’s IoT and edge hardware, ranging from small edge devices to full-scale rack-based edge servers that can support GPU, FPGA, and other technologies.

“Supermicro’s Intelligent Retail Edge solution provides retailers the engine they need to deliver innovative technologies and services to their customers efficiently,” said Raju Penumatcha, senior vice president and chief product officer, Supermicro. “Built on Supermicro’s flexible Building Block Solutions® architecture and powered by leading-edge software from our partners, this solution is optimized to help address some of the challenges facing the retail industry today.”

Supermicro’s Intelligent Retail Edge is offered in three different certified cluster configurations leveraging the industry-proven SuperServer platform that is optimized for specific sized stores, and application workload requirements.

  • Entry-level cluster platform based on the E100, a small, powerful fanless IoT/Edge gateway server for small stores with space and power constraints, such as small convenience stores or restaurants, running basic workloads such as Point-of-Sale (POS), video surveillance, and inventory management.
  • A mainstream cluster requiring a versatile, high-performance IoT/Edge server based on the E300, has a small physical footprint and superior acoustics for small to medium-sized stores running multiple applications at the edge.
  • High-end cluster configuration utilizing the 1019/5019, a short depth rack-mount edge workhorse server with rich storage and networking options and support for accelerator and GPU technologies needed for AI/ML applications for medium to- large-sized stores, such as grocery stores and mid-sized size retailers.

Developed through a collaboration with NodeWeaver and NetFoundry, Supermicro’s Integrated Retail Edge platform supports small-to-large clusters for retail applications.

“Retail technology is at the beginning of a new era that promises to revolutionize the customer experience, increase efficiencies, and reduce costs,” said Carlo Daffara, CEO and Co-Founder of NodeWeaver, a provider of a universal edge fabric software. “As distributed compute becomes more critical for retail operations, these platforms must be deployed, managed, maintained, and secured on a mass scale. Supermicro’s Retail Edge provides the foundational operating platform for this distributed compute layer, and NodeWeaver is proud to be a part of this solution.”

Providing reliable and secure networking can be challenging in distributed edge environments, and securing customer and point-of-sale (POS) data is critical in retail environments. Supermicro’s Retail Edge platform provides simple, easy to deploy Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) connectivity powered by NetFoundry to deliver exceptional performance, zero-trust security, agility, and simplicity.

“Retailers are innovating to enhance customer experiences,” said Galeal Zino, Founder, and CEO, NetFoundry. “The SuperMicro Retail Edge solution provides next-gen retail applications with the software-defined operating platform, and powerful edge compute they require to innovate.  To securely connect those retail edges with core, cloud, and partners, without needing to manage additional networking servers, the retailer or solution provider leverages Zero Trust NaaS, powered by NetFoundry, and integrated into the solution with this partnership between Supermicro and NetFoundry.”

NodeWeaver’s adaptive hypervisor provides secure and partitioned execution of any application without the traditional overhead of virtualization. Initial performance benchmarks show that the platform can run applications with performance near to that of bare metal execution, while maintaining the ability to provide for high availability and cloud-like flexibility.

Meituan Demonstrates its Contributions with the 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Leave a comment

BEIJING, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Meituan Dianping (HKG: 3690), China’s leading e-commerce platform for services, today released its 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report (or “the Report”) to demonstrate how the company has created value for users, industry and society through platform resources and technology innovation.

Meituan Dianping 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report
Meituan Dianping 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

In 2019, Meituan further strengthened focus on its mission of “We help people eat better, live better.” Meituan enhanced its commitment to sharing its social responsibility philosophy across its whole ecosystem in order to promote development and progress and to create better lives, a prosperous industry, and a harmonious society.

Highlights of Meituan CSR Report 2019:

  • Services for seniors and children became new territories for service consumption growth. In 2019, the number of delivery orders from the elderly increased by nearly 30% over that of the previous year. Meanwhile, child-friendly hotels and restaurants, as well as education services, also saw a boost. In particular, the number of user reviews of “child-friendly hotels” on Meituan more than doubled in 2019.
  • Meituan provides its 6.2 million merchants with comprehensive support programs to help accelerate their digital transformation. About 49% of China’s “time-honored catering brands” now provide delivery services on Meituan.
  • 3.99 million delivery riders obtained income through Meituan in 2019, an increase of 23.3% year-on-year, and 56.8% of riders were employed in their home provinces.
  • In 2019, among 257,000 delivery riders from state-registered poor households who earned income through Meituan, 98.4% helped their families out of poverty because of the increased income from their employment as delivery riders.

A better life for 450 million users

In 2019, the per capita service expenditure in China accounted for 45.9% of the total consumption. Meituan has made continuous efforts to meet the diversified needs for the quality life of 450 million users on its platforms through technology innovation, service innovation and product innovation.

The Report shows that services for seniors and children became new territories for service consumption growth. Meituan Waimai, the company’s on-demand food delivery business, has helped solve the difficulties in cooking and dining faced by the elderly. In 2019, the number of delivery orders from the elderly, people aged 60 or above, increased by nearly 30% over that of 2018. Meanwhile, for the younger generation, Meituan witnessed a sharp growth in transaction volume for child-friendly restaurants.

Based on deep consumer insights, Meituan provides users with convenient, quality and trustworthy consumption references. Meituan’s 2019 “Black Pearl Restaurant Guide” served as a credible reference for food lovers, while supporting the development of high quality restaurants by driving their number of online orders for set meals up 69% and the total online sales volume up 190% year-on-year.

At the same time, Meituan is committed to promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle. Its platforms witnessed rapid growth in demands for light, low-calorie, diet and healthy meals, sports and fitness activities and consumer medical and healthcare services in 2019.

The beginning of 2020 was marked by the outbreak of COVID-19, stalling a majority of in-store services. Delivery riders served as people’s lifelines while cities were under lockdown and people had to stay at home. Meituan statistics show that Meituan riders in Wuhan, Hubei province, delivered over 4 million orders during the 76-day citywide lockdown period and over 7,000 supermarkets, pharmacies and grocery stores on Meituan in Wuhan delivered groceries and medicines for residents. Meituan was as well the first in the industry to introduce a “contactless delivery” service to protect users and riders from the virus.

Empowering 6.2 million merchants on digitalization

In 2019, the number of active merchants on Meituan reached 6.2 million. Meituan provides diverse merchant support programs in marketing, delivery, IT support, supply chain, operation and financing, to help them lower costs and improve operational efficiency through digital transformation.

The Report shows that 49% of China’s “time-honored catering brands”, which operate about 3,100 restaurants in 246 cities nationwide, provide delivery services on Meituan, while 19.3% offer group purchase and reservation services and 23.5% use QR codes and other digital payment systems. Meituan’s digitalization support is driving a 23% revenue increase in new catering businesses.

Building “new infrastructure” for digital life and a harmonious society

Meituan has been expanding the coverage and practices of social responsibility through programs in employment, poverty alleviation, and public welfare to help address social problems, leveraging its digital capabilities to build a dynamic, sustainable society with partners.

Delivery riders, which were recently added to the official national occupation list by China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, have become a “new infrastructure” for urban life. The Report unveiled that 3.99 million delivery riders obtained income through Meituan in 2019, an increase of 23.3% year-on-year, while 56.8% of delivery riders were employed in their home provinces. Among the 257,000 delivery riders from state-registered poor households who earned income through Meituan last year, 98.4% helped their families out of poverty.

Since late January, after the virus outbreak, Meituan has recruited over 950,000 new riders to join its delivery network.

S2C Announces New Prodigy Cloud System for Next Generation SoC Prototyping

Leave a comment

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — S2C, a world leader in FPGA-based prototyping solutions for accelerated SoC verification, has announced its new Prodigy Cloud System implemented with Intel’s Stratix 10 GX 10M FPGA and Xilinx’s Virtex UltraScale VU440 FPGA. S2C’s cloud based prototyping system is the logical choice for the ever more complex next generation SoC development requiring high density and scalable deployment as well as efficient productivity anywhere, anytime to shorten the validation cycle.

S2C Prodigy Cloud System
S2C Prodigy Cloud System

  • Scalable: Up to 2.5 billion logic gates over 32 FPGAs in single standard server rack; further expansion can be deployed via multiple interconnected server racks
  • Centralized: Fast deployment and easy maintenance
  • Remote access: Multi-user, multi-project management

SoC verification continues to face a relentless demand for more design operating cycles before silicon tapeout, while the cost of failure on advanced silicon nodes continues to spiral upward.  More functionality, more complex test data and data types, more modes of operation, all combine to challenge the traditional verification methods of simulation, formal verification, and Emulation.  Adding to the challenge is the growing requirement for early verification of hardware-dependent software, and support for multiple simultaneous users. Most advanced SoC development teams have already added FPGA prototyping to the verification mix, and prototyping has become one of the fastest growing segments of SoC design verification. 

“The ability to launch a large number of design instances for FPGA prototyping, whenever and wherever it is needed, is critical for complex SoC hardware verification and software development.  The Prodigy Cloud System is the product of our deep engagements with several key customers developing the latest and largest SoCs in the world,” commented Toshio Nakama, CEO of S2C.

Innotree Launches “TuneCloud” for the Construction and Management of Multi-cloud Environments

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With the emergence of various cloud services, the number of cloud-based businesses is drastically increasing. Recently, in particular, many companies have adopted multi-cloud environments built on only the advantages of various cloud services rather than a single one.

To respond to the market needs, IT solution and service provider Innotree (CEO Byung-geun Kim, www.innotree.com) announced that it launched “TuneCloud,” a multi-cloud environment construction and management service.

The cloud total management service supports the design, deployment, billing, and monitoring of multi-cloud as a one-stop service, allowing customers to quickly and conveniently build their desired cloud service platform. By standardizing UI/UX so that anyone can easily create, integrate, and manage infrastructure in the cloud, TuneCloud provides multi-cloud services as a single one.

With its core feature, TuneDesigner, users can design cloud infrastructure easily and conveniently using the intuitive Drag & Drop UI method in a significantly reduced time. In addition, the architecture designed in TuneDesigner is automatically reflected and managed in the cloud through its real-time Auto Provisioning feature, improving the design and deployment productivity by more than 60%.

TuneCloud helps reduce design costs by providing various architecture design templates for infrastructure and minimizes human errors and improves the efficiency of personnel operations through automated provisioning and validation functions.

TuneReverse Engine can be used to express and redesign the current configuration of existing cloud infrastructure, manage the history of the cloud, and modify and monitor the infrastructure in real time.

In addition, TuneCloud performs integrated real-time monitoring of each cost and infrastructure for multi-cloud and provides TuneAI algorithm that recommends the optimal cost by collecting and analyzing budget, costs, and component status on a regular basis for efficient operations and cost reduction.

“Many companies are using or reviewing to use multi-cloud services for diverse business opportunities. However, each CSP (Cloud Service Provider) provides different types of UI/UX, and they find it difficult to configure and manage a multi-cloud environment without the help of professional engineers,” said Director Yoo Byeong-soo of Innotree Co., Ltd. who is in charge of the launch of TuneCloud. “TuneCloud is a standardized UI/UX-based SaaS type CMP (Cloud Management Platform). As we can provide fast and efficient cloud work environments, we expect to expand into not only the Korean market but the global market where the potential is great. For this, we plan to conduct a wide range of sales and marketing strategies,” he added.

PUNE, India, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Icertis, the leading provider of enterprise contract management in the cloud, today announced a contribution of INR 15 Lakhs to Haffkine Institute to support their efforts in testing an anti-tuberculosis vaccine as a treatment for COVID-19.

At this time, when there are no vaccines to stop the pandemic spread nor established curative treatment methods, the need to develop effective treatments has become critical. Heeding to the efforts of the Indian government to curtail further growth of the pandemic, Haffkine Institute is working on the development of new treatment modalities for COVID-19. The Institute is working with the state government, various government-run hospitals and Pune’s BJ Medical College to test potential cures for COVID-19. The trial that Icertis is funding will assess whether BCG can help bolster the immune system of patients.

“The Haffkine Institute has been a center for scientific and industrial research since its inception in 1896,” said Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Secretary, Medical Education & Drugs Department, Government of Maharashtra. “We are grateful to Icertis for the generous contribution towards the Institute’s efforts to tackle the spread of COVID-19. We are constantly working on ways to develop new treatments for COVID-19 and this contribution will help our teams immensely as we unite to win this battle against the virus.”

The Haffkine Institute is an autonomous research institute with an illustrious history. Established in 1896 and named after the inventor of the plague vaccine, Dr. Waldemar Mordecai Haffkine, it has operated as a public trust supported by the State of Maharashtra since 1975, focused on training, research and testing to prevent and cure communicable diseases. Much of its research has been focused on testing, monitoring, prevention and treatment of communicable diseases like Influenza, H1N1 and Rabies.

“As the world comes to terms with the enormity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to come together to find a cure,” said Monish Darda, CTO & Co-founder Icertis. “Helping to take care of our community is part of the Four Rings of Responsibility that every Icertian wears proudly. And with the Haffkine Institute, there is a personal connection to me and Pune as well – I remember the stories my grandfather used to tell me about life during the plague that hit Mumbai and Pune, and the development of the plague vaccine. We are thankful to Haffkine Institute for working tirelessly to develop a COVID-19 vaccine and are proud to play a small part in the global fight to beat COVID-19.”

Icertis’ gift was made possible by voluntary reductions in pay to CEO and Co-founder Samir Bodas, CTO and Co-founder Monish Darda and continues Icertis’ efforts to address the needs of the community. Last month, Icertis donated INR 25 lakh to ensure the safety of brave doctors, nurses, and hospital staff of Naidu Hospital, Pune, with personal protection equipment, including N95 masks, gowns, and gloves, hand sanitizer dispensers, and viral transport media (VTM) kits, which protect test samples in transit to the lab. Since the start of this pandemic, Icertis has contributed more than US$200,000 to the organizations worldwide, including the University of Washington, the German Red Cross and the Seattle Alliance for Education in its effort to contribute to the communities in which it operates.
