Altera-based Infrastructure Processing Units Enable Disaggregation of Big Data

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Napatech™ (OSLO: NAPA.OL), a leading provider of Altera-based programmable Smart Network Interface Cards (SmartNICs) and Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs), used in cloud, enterprise, government and telecom datacenter networks, today announced a strategic partnership with SigmaX.AI, an innovative provider of high-performance and cost-effective data management solutions for an exploding list of datacenter and edge computing AI/ML and Big Data Analytics workloads.

Datacenter operators are racing to deploy an array of applications for artificial intelligence. The use cases generate massive amounts of data, significantly driving up costs for computation, storage, and networking. Additionally, cloud-based data analytics services that are used to store, process, and secure data can drown businesses in operational and capital costs overshadowing the benefits that AI applications promise to deliver.

SigmaX.AI rescues datacenters sinking in the size, cost and complexity of their AI/ML data with an innovative software solution that transforms IPUs from Napatech into powerful data management tools. SigmaX.AI’s Chronicle (Loghub) software intelligently ingests, transforms, and standardizes log data from various sources into an AI/ML-ready format at the network’s edge, minimizing data redundancy and ensuring real-time availability. The IPU is deployed in select servers throughout the datacenter, and runs SigmaX.AI’s edge data stream engine. The powerful combination of software and hardware solves the AI data problem in multiple dimensions by intelligently pre-processing data at the source. It reduces time, complexity and cost in:

Data Creation: By removing up to 90% of duplicate data, server CPU processing, log data generation, and 3rd party cloud SaaS license fees are all reduced.Data Transmission: Deduplication, compression, and encryption reduce network utilization and improve security across the enterprise and to the cloud while reducing latency by 90X.Data Storage: Intelligent analytics removes unnecessary data, reducing local and cloud storage costs by more than 60% while also improving search results.Data Processing: Accurate and refined data reduces third-party analytics and search service costs and improves response times, improving application performance by 57X.

Napatech’s IPUs are packed with the latest technology from Intel and Altera, including the powerful Intel® Xeon® D processors and Agilex™ 7 FPGAs. The products also feature an innovative, disaggregated design that unlocks new network architectures, applications, and services like SigmaX.AI. It offers flexible combinations of FPGA and processor resources that deliver the optimal mix of functionality, performance, size, cost, and power while supported in standard, high-volume servers.

“SigmaX.AI’s scalable solution delivers benefits to hundreds, even thousands, of servers in typical deployments across Global-5000 enterprise, cloud, and government networks,” said Rob Morrow, Chief Executive Officer, at SigmaX.AI. “Our partnerships with leading technology providers like Intel, Altera and Napatech give our customers confidence knowing that they have a solution that marries the best technology from the industry’s leading providers.”

“This is another example of our successful partnership with Intel and Altera, bringing Napatech together with high-growth companies like SigmaX.AI, who are solving the most challenging problems in large scale AI deployment,” said Lars Boilesen, Chief Executive Officer at Napatech. “Their solution takes advantage of the IPU to minimize the actual data that travels across the network by orders of magnitude, reducing application latency, and enabling more insights than traditional data analytics infrastructure. The solution provides immediate benefits to network operators by radically reducing log volumes and reducing cloud analytics costs.”

“SigmaX.AI provides an ideal solution for intelligently pre-processing data and conditioning it for AI/ML or data analytics applications,” said Jeni Barovian, Head of Market Development at Altera, an Intel company. “Their approach gives control back to enterprises who are struggling with the not-so-hidden costs of big data applications. We are excited to see the ecosystem for Altera-based IPUs continuing to expand in valuable and creative ways.”

The solution will be on display at the Intelligence & National Security Summit, August 27-28, 2024, at the Bethesda North Marriot Hotel and Convention Center and at the Altera Innovators Day, September 23, 2024 in San Jose, California.

DeepL unveils industry-first Glossary Generator to solve business communication and brand consistency challenges

Published

By

Enhanced DeepL glossary functionality – including new glossary generator, expanded language support and more – will boost global business translations, saving time, effort, and costs

COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DeepL, a leading global Language AI company, today announced several updates to its glossary feature, which is a powerful tool that enhances translation consistency and accuracy by enabling professionals and companies to personalize translations for specific terms. The tool now offers the industry’s first smart glossary generator, which helps simplify and speed up the process of creating glossaries for translations. Glossary is also available in several new languages and within DeepL’s browser extensions and integrations, fitting seamlessly into existing workflows to offer an even more accessible and smooth user experience across the web and applications like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

“AI-powered translations are essential for businesses looking to overcome language barriers in today’s increasingly connected world, and DeepL’s powerful glossary tool takes this a step further by ensuring translations are personalized to a company’s unique phrases and needs,” said Christopher Osborne, VP of Product, DeepL. “We’re always looking for ways to improve the DeepL experience and drive even more value and ROI for 100,000+ customers worldwide, and these new capabilities make our glossary even more efficient, accessible and user-friendly – empowering teams to achieve the customization and consistency they are looking for, while minimising time spent on costly alternatives like manual translations or find-and-replace tools.”

For global businesses aiming to drive revenue growth, investing in brand consistency across all communications and languages is essential to ensure that every message—whether technical terminology, product names, or branded terms—resonates clearly with teams, customers, and markets worldwide. Consistent branding has been proven to increase revenue by 20% or more[1] and enhance visibility by 3 to 4 times[2] – however, maintaining this consistency can be expensive and complex. DeepL’s glossary tool simplifies this process, helping businesses and professionals easily create and scale high-quality, consistent multilingual communications across teams. With glossary, companies can create and manage custom translation glossaries to ensure that specific words or phrases are translated consistently according to their unique terminology.

DeepL’s glossary now offers the following expanded capabilities:

The industry’s first smart, AI-powered glossary generator: DeepL’s new glossary generator is a first-of-its-kind tool enabling teams to create custom translation glossaries with a simple file upload. Previously translated files can be leveraged to generate entries for personalized DeepL glossaries, reducing the need for manual work and significantly enhancing efficiency, enabling teams to facilitate more consistent communication at scale.Expanded glossary language functionality: Glossary now supports Korean, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Romanian translations, bringing the total number of languages to 16. This allows for more precise and nuanced translations across a wider range of linguistic contexts, helping businesses reach a broader audience.More convenient access across DeepL platforms: Users are now able to access and apply the glossary directly within the DeepL browser extensions for Chrome and Edge, enabling consistent translations across the web, including Google Workspace applications. Furthermore, the glossary can now also be applied directly within DeepL for Microsoft 365 integrations, including Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Additionally, the glossary can be accessed through DeepL’s web browser, desktop apps, and API.

Unlike other find-and-replace tools, DeepL’s glossary excels with its advanced contextual understanding and ability to process complex grammatical elements—such as case, gender, and tense—to deliver nuanced, natural-sounding translations. This results in substantial productivity gains, largely due to the time saved in post-editing. Blind tests with language experts show that DeepL reduces post-editing time by 30% compared to Google Translate and 20% compared to Chat GPT-4. Furthermore, DeepL requires significantly fewer edits, with Google Translate and Chat GPT-4 needing two to three times as many feedback rounds.

Glossary with DeepL Pro also offers enhanced data security, including proprietary data centers, the highest level of certification and compliance standards (ISO 27001 certification, GDPR/SOC 2 type 2 compliance), data encryption, and a commitment to never using Pro customer data to train models.

DeepL’s glossary generator is now available to Pro Advanced and Ultimate subscribers with support for TMX/DOCX/PDF files. It is initially available for glossaries in German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, French, and Russian (to and from English), with more languages coming soon.
