Considerations When Deploying an NFV Network Solution

Virtualization—the creation of a simulation with functionality identical to that of the original physical object—has dramatically and positively altered the provisioning, management and economics of IT infrastructure. Virtualization removes the need for software to run on purpose-built appliance-type hardware and enables software services to be delivered via commodity server hardware. Two of the major benefits are significantly faster deployment of services and lower costs of hardware.

Empowering Industry 4.0 with Artificial Intelligence

Article | February 29, 2024

The next step in industrial technology is about robotics, computers and equipment becoming connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and enhanced by machine learning algorithms. Industry 4.0 has the potential to be a powerful driver of economic growth, predicted to add between $500 billion- $1.5 trillion in value to the global economy between 2018 and 2022, according to a report by Capgemini.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | March 18, 2024

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | March 14, 2024

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Three Keys to Successful AI Adoption

Article | February 10, 2020

Over the past several years, we have begun to see the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in businesses. According to a study for the AI Index 2019 Annual Report, more than half of respondents report their companies are using AI in at least one function or business unit. Thirty percent report they have AI embedded across multiple areas of their business. As businesses continue to develop their understanding of what is possible with AI, we can expect to see a continued increase in AI adoption.

Ericsson, Intel Team Up on 5G Software-Defined Infrastructure

SDxCentral | February 11, 2019

Ericsson and Intel are jointly developing a hardware management platform for service providers targeting 5G, NFV, and distributed cloud. The new platform combines hardware and software: Ericsson SDI Manager software and Intel Rack Scale Design(RSD) architecture and software. It will also maintain full backward compatibility for Ericsson customers. RSD is Intel’s reference architecture for disaggregated, composable infrastructure. Ericsson’s software-defined infrastructure (SDI) system is based on Intel RSD and provides a common managed hardware pool for all workloads that dynamically scales. Converging the two will enable faster service rollout and more efficient hardware utilization, according to Intel and Ericsson. The partnership will “help communications service providers remove deployment barriers, reduce costs, and deliver new 5G and edge services with cloud-like speed on a flexible, programmable, and intelligent network,” said Sandra Rivera, senior vice president of Intel’s Network Platform Group, in a statement. Lars Mårtensson, head of cloud and NFV infrastructure for Ericsson’s Business Area Digital Services division, added that the collaboration will “be truly transformative for service providers’ ability to successfully deploy open cloud and NFV infrastructure, from centralized data centers to the edge.” As part of the multi-year agreement, the two vendors will also align the development efforts of Ericsson SDI Manager software and Intel RSD. Jointly developed software and hardware from the partnership will be offered in future Ericsson hardware platforms and may also be offered with Intel’s server products sold by its partners. The companies will show the Ericsson SDI Manager later this month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
