Which Cloud Is Aging Better–AWS or Azure? Liftr reveals Insights into the answer

Published

Liftr Insights data show where the cloud providers are aging and by how much

AUSTIN, Texas, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Liftr Insights, a pioneer in market intelligence driven by unique data, revealed that while Azure has shown many signs of growth in North America, the truth is dependent on the region.

Liftr® tracks data for the six largest cloud providers, which represent over 75% of the public cloud space. Using Liftr data, market intelligence analysts can see where public cloud providers are focusing their investments. For example, Liftr data show that Microsoft Azure has older infrastructure in both the East and West regions when compared to AWS.

In the East, 69% of infrastructure is older than 3 years for both providers; however, for AWS, 19% is added within the past year compared to only 12% for Azure. The differences are starker in the West with AWS having only 64% older than 3 years compared with Azures’ 76% and AWS investing over 25% in newer instance types in the West compared to Azures’ 7%.

However, unlike AWS, Azure has major regions in the central portion of North America. These Azure regions have more recent investment than AWS has in its regions in the East or West. In its Central regions, Azure offers under 63% of the older instance types and over 26% has been added within the past year.

“A lot of the investment is due to Azure’s expansion into newer regions,” says Tab Schadt, CEO of Liftr Insights. “But, we like to point out to our clients how looking at the growth within different regions is as interesting as growth within a particular region compared to other providers.”

Providers update physical devices on their own cycles, but to continue offering older instance types requires the providers to either maintain or replace the older hardware. So, using objective data on instance types provides insight into the otherwise opaque hardware activity.

Two of Liftr data products, Cloud Components TrackerSM and Intelligence Compute TrackerSM, are used by market intelligence analysts to evaluate the cloud providers, their offerings, the underlying semiconductors, and supporting infrastructure. Liftr customers can use these services to see the above information or drill-down by workload type, vendor, brand, or a multitude of other characteristics.

“We want market intelligence analysts to have access to objective data for their models,” says Schadt. “Evaluating the age of regions by cloud provider is just one example of how Liftr provides value.”

Reliable Link: Pioneering a New Era of Reliable Connectivity for Everything

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In this era where everything is connected, reliable communication networks have become more than just a service provided by operators; they are the key to linking the entire ecosystem of devices. Breaking down barriers between terminal equipments, allowing every corner and every device to be ‘reliably connected anytime, anywhere,’ is not only a technological breakthrough but also a beautiful vision for the future way of life. GrowthEase, in partnership with China Telecom, has brought together a top-tier team of communication technology experts to co-develop the “Reliable Link” project. Centered around the three core principles of “Reliability, Openness, and Ubiquity,” this project utilizes innovative communication technologies to integrate advanced cloud-network capabilities into various ubiquitous terminal devices such as drones, smart cameras, smart speakers, and smart locks. This aims to break the traditional constraints of terminal forms and capabilities, ushering in a new era of reliable communication connectivity. Leveraging the open capabilities provided by GSMA Open Gateway, and relying on the high-quality global network nodes deployed by NetEase Zhiqi and China Telecom, this project ensures end-to-end latency for audio and video calls remains within 200ms, guaranteeing 99.9% lag-free call experiences. Through highly reliable connectivity services, the project prioritizes the quality and security of connections and transmission in any environment, realizing “reliable connectivity anytime, anywhere” across all types of ubiquitous terminal devices.

Specifically, the Reliable Link project, through the Reliable-link AS platform and the Reliable-link applet, allows users to remotely control terminals like drones during a mobile voice call. For example, in the drone inspection scenario, Reliable Link can retrieve real-time flight routes, and with the Geofencing feature, set up electronic fences to ensure the drone stays within a safe area. When the drone detects a hazardous behavior, such as smoking, the system automatically triggers an alert and reports the location. Reliable Link combines VoLTE capabilities to initiate a video call to regional managers’ mobile phones, promptly pushing the alert information. Through Dev Loc verification and Location retrieval, the drone’s position is confirmed. Once the manager answers the video call, the QOD feature ensures high-quality video transmission, allowing the manager to issue control commands in real time through the call interface to control the drone’s flight. This not only ensures network reliability but also brings more efficient cross-terminal communication and smarter device management, making interactions between different devices smoother and more convenient, truly realizing “seamless connectivity” across ubiquitous terminal devices.

The Reliable Link Drone Communication Connectivity Project tightly integrates drones with the PaaS communication infrastructure, empowering drones with high-reliability, high-quality communication transmission capabilities. This drives upgrades and innovation in the drone industry, contributing to the prosperity of the low-altitude economy. Looking ahead, Reliable Link will continue to innovate and collaborate with ecosystem partners, establishing industry benchmarks. From connecting everything to empowering countless industries, the project aims to create a new landscape for reliable communication applications, enabling the thriving development of industries worldwide.

BeyondTrucks and Orderful solution brings EDI workflow into an updated, intuitive and timesaving format for trucking companies

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BeyondTrucks, a transportation management system provider that delivers streamlined operations to private and specialty fleets through a connected and configurable platform, has announced a partnership with Orderful to embed their Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Platform in the company’s multi-tenant SaaS Transportation Management System (TMS).

BeyondTrucks’ commitment to simplifying fleet operations aligns perfectly with Orderful’s mission to modernize EDI.

“EDI of the past is opaque, time-consuming, expensive and just simply outdated,” said Hans Galland, chief executive officer at BeyondTrucks. “Now with Orderful as our partner, our customers can elect to use the Orderful portal to manage EDI transactions in a rapid intuitive manner for all transactions and all trading partners. We are eliminating the need for a custom integration into BeyondTrucks with each and every partner.”

Embedded in the BeyondTrucks TMS, the Orderful EDI Platform seamlessly builds EDI connections between shippers and carriers by converting EDI data via an API. The integration provides users with real-time data synchronization, instant visibility, automated compliance checks, and intuitive error handling.

BeyondTrucks is also offering their fleet customers access to the Orderful portal for visibility into EDI data from shippers. The optional capability provides an interface where fleets can see when shippers make changes to load information but don’t communicate them or they are not passed through to the TMS. The carrier can then respond manually to avoid loads being missed or the shipper being poorly serviced.

“BeyondTrucks’ commitment to simplifying fleet operations aligns perfectly with Orderful’s mission to modernize EDI,” said Jonathan Kish, chief revenue officer at Orderful. “By embedding our platform, BeyondTrucks customers gain real-time visibility and faster connections, eliminating the headaches of traditional EDI and enabling them to operate more efficiently.”

The BeyondTrucks flexible, multi-tenant SaaS solution combines system integrations, proprietary modules, and adaptable configurations in a seamless platform to unify data and workflows for automation and optimization of fleet operations. Advanced capabilities of the cloud-based platform include order intake automation, smart load planning, dispatch communication, configurable driver workflows, and flexible automation of invoicing and driver payroll.

By

GDIN CEO Jongkap Kim: “By matching technology needs with local markets, we create long-lasting joint ventures with multiple exit opportunities.”

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global Digital Innovation Network (GDIN), led by CEO Jongkap Kim, proudly announced the major achievements of its 2024 Joint Venture Program. This program, which supports the establishment of joint ventures between South Korean companies and international partners, is designed to lower market entry barriers and create sustainable growth opportunities through local collaborations.

Since the launch of the program in 2021, GDIN has supported the establishment of 44 joint ventures across various regions. This year alone, 10 joint ventures were successfully launched in 8 countries including the United States, Canada, Japan, India, Singapore, Vietnam, UAE, and Uganda.

The Joint Venture Program was created to address a common challenge faced by early-stage tech companies: while they may have products and services that meet market demand, they often lack the resources and workforce to enter international markets. Through this program, GDIN helps companies increase their chances of success by facilitating strategic market entry via local partnerships.

In addition to the 44 joint ventures established so far, 47 partnership agreements are in the pipeline for future joint ventures. The program’s success is largely attributed to GDIN’s extensive global network of partners, which includes government organizations, multinational corporations, and international agencies such as the World Bank, Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Investment Turkey etc. GDIN has organized multiple technology matching and investor relations events to introduce Korean companies and their innovative technologies to potential international partners.

At the year-end performance report event, held on December 19, GDIN recognized companies that successfully established joint ventures. Changsoft I&I, a digital construction management system company, was highlighted for its success in establishing joint ventures in Japan and Vietnam. CFO Jongeun Park of Changsoft I&I shared, “We were facing stagnating revenue growth, and expanding into new markets was critical. With GDIN’s support, we were able to establish joint ventures in Japan and Vietnam, allowing us to tailor our products to local market needs.”

Other companies that successfully established joint ventures in 2024 include Medicos Biotech, Bloomsbury Lab, Arbaim, Eucast, Pixelro, Hansol root one, Eco-Peace, and IESG.

GDIN CEO Jongkap Kim commented, “Unlike simple joint investments or distribution networks, these technology-driven joint ventures are based on market demand, ensuring their long-term sustainability. If these joint ventures achieve success in the local markets and even go public, they could offer multiple exit opportunities, creating a strong growth model for all involved.”

About GDIN 

Global Digital Innovation Network (formerly known as Born2Global Centre), registered under the Ministry of Science & ICT, is an independent foundation that promotes and fosters collaboration between next-level innovative companies from South Korea and the world.
