    Accelerating Multi-Cloud Data Management and Storage – Intel Chip Chat – Episode 673

    In this Intel Chip Chat audio podcast with Allyson Klein: Keeping track of data is a challenge that any enterprise needs to deal with. This isn’t just because of the amount of data generated by users, applications, and devices. It’s also because of how data is distributed. Organizations today often grapple with an IT footprint that spreads across the globe. Data and applications often cross borders, time zones, and oceans, and getting a clear picture of data use and activity is often beyond the scope of a single IT professional, or even a traditional IT department.

    Geoff Tudor is the Vice President of Vizion.ai at Panzura. Vizion.ai provides a single, consistent view of an organization’s data wherever it is on Earth, as well as a unified view of their application activity. By integrating machine learning to detect anomalous activity and potential breaches, Vizion.ai improves security and ease of use. All of this requires immense computational power with high throughput. Panzura manages this with a container-based infrastructure and a highly efficient storage layer. A key part of that storage layer is Intel Optane DC persistent memory, which allows Panzura to deliver their services quickly, flexibly, and within a cost structure that works for their customers.

    Amsterdam UMC Uses SAS AI and Intel Architecture to Fight Cancer – Intel on AI – Episode 32

    In this Intel on AI podcast episode: Colorectal cancer is the one of the most common cancers worldwide, and in about half of patients it can spread to the liver and lead to greater complications. Traditional manual examinations of tumors are time-consuming and subjective for radiologists. Yet, using AI for this workload can be complicated because biomarkers, DNA, and genomic data are enormous and require lots of compute, storage and software to analyze. Saurabh Gupta, Director Advanced Analytics & Artificial Intelligence Product Management at SAS, joins us to talk about how SAS is working with the Amsterdam University Medical Center (UMC) on medical imaging analysis to identify if patients are candidates for surgery based upon the size and growth of lesions. He talks about how Amsterdam UMC using SAS AI-trained models running on Intel processors was able to analyze MRI images and with much greater accuracy identify patients who respond well to chemotherapy and become candidates for surgery. Saurabh highlights how SAS is not just simply a software vendor but also provides many tools that gives its customers a platform to do powerful AI analysis with the SAS software that they know and trust. He also talks about how important it is for SAS customers to be able to develop their solutions on Intel architecture because they already have the skills and architecture needed to address the workloads they have.

    Touchstone: Addressing NFV Infrastructure – Intel Chip Chat Network Insights – Episode 225

    Intel Chip Chat – Network Insights audio podcast with Allyson Klein: Thomas Lindquist, CTO at VoerEir, joins Intel Chip Chat Network Insights to discuss VoerEir’s work to deliver tools for testing NFV Infrastructure as well as their work within OpenStack and OPNFV where VoerEir provides contributions to the test automation development.

    VoerEir was founded in 2015 by a team of former Ericsson executives with a clear mission to help communication service providers with their NFV transformation. The full VoerEir team has many years of experience from OpenStack, NFV, Telecom application development and VNF on-boarding.
    In this interview Thomas explains more about VoerEir’s approach to the delivery of tools for the testing of NFV infrastructure and explains that it is not enough to just test the VNF performance alone and that you need to comprehend the NFVi layer as part of the overall performance and KPI’s.
    Thomas also talks about VoerEir’s Touchstone test manager, which is a pure software suite manager for NFVI Certification and Validation for OpenStack based NFV-Infrastructures that you need to test a cloud’s Performance, Functionality, Robustness, and Stability in an automated manner.

    Touchstone provides an “out of the box” test solution with emulated predefined test cases for NFV Infrastructure’s performance along with KPI validation and testing for Performance optimization.

    Advancing Scientific Research with HPC – Conversations in the Cloud – Episode 189

    In this Intel Conversations in the Cloud audio podcast: Dana Chang, Vice President and Co-founder at Atipa Technologies, joins Conversations in the Cloud to discuss Atipa’s Polaris High Performance Computing and Visualization (HPCV) platform.

    Atipa has over 18 years of experience in HPC. The company researches, builds and configures HPC clusters, servers and workstations. Atipa’s development of the Polaris HPCV platform won them the Intel Partner of the Year Award for HPC Technical Solutions in 2018.

    Today’s scientists need faster insights and visualize increasingly large data sets. Atipa’s Polaris Select HPCV clusters are optimized for high-performance computation and visualization to meet these growing demands. The Atipa Polaris HPCV Platform uses 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the Intel Rendering Framework for CPU-based rendering. This enables a balanced performance for simulation and modeling or simulation and visualization. The pre-validated hardware of Intel Select Solutions saves time that would have been spent assessing and procuring configurations.

    Atipa and Intel collaborated this year to deploy a Polaris HPCV platform at Northern Illinois University. The deployed HPCV platform allows students to quickly model and solve complex data. In addition, students get to train with tools used at the most advanced industry settings. Dana discusses the importance of student access to HPC technology at all ages, from K-12 to college.

    The future will likely see HPC clusters moving from off-site to on-premise, especially for researchers. Dana and Jake both dream of having ‘a cluster in a box’ or data server designed for the office.

    Tech Tonics: Tanisha Carino

    Tanisha Carino’s family fled from the Ferdinand Marcos regime in the Phillipines and settled in what she still believes to be the sweetest of homes: Alabama. As she travelled through young adulthood she had her first awareness that many Americans live on the fringe, desperately needing both healthcare and social services.  Since then Tanisha has spent her career in healthcare seeking to strike the perfect balance between being an expert and being a leader.  In so doing, she is always looking for new ways to balance the concepts of cost and caring for the most vulnerable to best define the true essence of rational decision-making in our healthcare system.

    Tanisha’s career has been guided by her family’s commitment to sacrifice and helping others, always asking herself, “what can I do that might be different and helpful to others?” From her first interaction with the healthcare system, as an intern at AID Atlanta  through her roles in healthcare consulting at Avalere, pharma operations at GlaxoSmithKline and now at FasterCures  she is ever on the hunt for ways to bring pragmatism and emphathy to her work.  A constant theme through Tanisha’s journey has been how to align payment with value, recognizing that what we decide to value through reimbursement policy directly drives the research and  development pathways of the future.

    In her current role, Tanisha focuses on creative partnership models between industry, government and academia with a goal to optimize the implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act and on models of venture philanthropy that will speed new cures to patients, – particularly new therapeutics for rare diseases that industry elects not to develop because they lack of a large target market.She’s also known to try a little karaoke now and then, favoring Madonna’s Dress Me Up when it’s her turn to sing.  We asked Tanisha what the healthcare systems’ karoke song would be; her response: Winner Takes it All.  At least for now.
    We are delighted to welcome our friend Tanisha to Tech Tonics!

    We are grateful to our sponsor, Manatt Health.  Manatt Health is a multi-disciplinary professional services firm that integrates a full service law firm with a broad-based strategic business and policy consulting practice to help our clients grow and prosper.  Manatt Health supports the full range of stakeholders in transforming America’s healthcare system.
