Nokia provides data centre switching platforms to enable growth of DCspine cloud services
The model-driven architecture and open interfaces of SR Linux will also enable DCspine to automate service provisioning , gain deeper network visibility for service monitoring and enable faster delivery of interconnection and cloud services to its customers .
Nokia has announced it is providing its 7220 IXR data centre hardware platforms running SR Linux to DCspine , a subsidiary of Eurofibre Cloud Infra providing digital infrastructure and interconnection services across data centres in Europe .
This solution will expand DCspine ’ s interconnection and cloud services , increase network scalability and enhance network operations through automation .
DCspine will implement the 7220 IXR and SR Linux as part of its interconnection platform that provides connectivity between a growing number of 80 + data centres in the Netherlands , Belgium and Germany .
To support the implementation , DCspine and Nokia have developed a custom network agent for easy integration into the existing network environment by leveraging the open , consumable nature of SR Linux and its NetOps Development Kit ( NDK ).
“ We selected Nokia because its solution will enable us to provide our customers with the very best interconnection services ,” said David Jansen , Network Operations Manager at Eurofibre Cloud Infra . “ The DCspine platform connects more than 80 data centres across Europe , providing customers with a wide variety of connected services , applications and locations .
“ Our DC-interconnection platform gives customers 24 / 7 access to their applications , data and workloads , enabling them to create flexible , scalable and reliable ICT infrastructure easily and cost-effectively .”
UltraSight receives CE mark for cardiac AI technology
UltraSight , an Israeli-based digital health pioneer transforming cardiac imaging through the power of Artificial Intelligence , has announced it has obtained a CE mark for its AI guidance software for cardiac ultrasound . This milestone comes just ahead of the European Society of Cardiology ( ESC ) Congress in Barcelona and aligns with its call for action to achieve heart health in Europe by 2025 .
UltraSight ’ s technology allows medical professionals – regardless of their sonography experience – to successfully capture diagnostic quality ultrasound images of the heart . The technology can be used at the point-of-care , paving the way for more widespread detection of cardiovascular diseases ( CVD ) and improved access to optimised cardiac care across the continent .
The novel AI software pairs with point-of-care ultrasound devices that are currently on the market and provides the operator with realtime instructions on how to capture highquality diagnostic images . The underlying AI neural network predicts the position of the ultrasound probe relative to the heart , based on the ultrasound video stream only and guides the user on how to manoeuvre the probe to ensure that the acquired images are of diagnostic quality .
“ UltraSight was founded with the intention to apply the power of Machine Learning in imaging and put the ability to scan patients into the hands of physicians everywhere ,” said Davidi Vortman , CEO of UltraSight . “ By empowering more medical professionals to accurately scan patients , we will have faster and greater detection of CVD across the continent .”
