HPE rolls out GreenLake Central, delivering edge to cloud solution - DataCenterNews North America

Posted: 04 May 2020 05:24 PM PDT

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has today announced the general availability of HPE GreenLake Central, a software platform featuring an online operations console that runs, manages and optimises the entire hybrid cloud estate.

First unveiled in December last year, HPE says the platform brings the cloud experience to customers' applications, data and workloads in their locations in a self-serve, pay-per-use, scale up-and-down way and managed as-a-Service by HPE.

The company also revealed updates to its as-a-Service portfolio, with support for data management and file storage, and an enhanced co-location offering through partnerships with Cohesity, Qumulo, and CyrusOne, respectively.

Users can manage their hybrid estate, provisioning instances and redeploying resources in on-premises environments with the 'same speed' as off-premises.

It also offers the ability to monitor and run off-premises costs and compliance in the most popular cloud applications - AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. On-premises environments can also be monitored.

The platform also integrates with Azure Access Manager and AWS Access Manager to suggest ways to prioritise spend.

HPE says the platform offers unique insights and recommended actions for security, capacity, cost, compliance, and resource utilisation across the hybrid estate, and enables users to access their own consumption metrics.

This allows them to optimise placement of workloads based on the factors most important to them – such as cost, governance, security, or interdependence with other systems.

"HPE GreenLake has gained universal appeal as it uniquely addresses what the market requires for in an ideal as-a-Service experience," says HPE GreenLake senior vice president and general manager Keith White. 

"With continued high demand for hybrid offerings from our customers, HPE GreenLake Central is an innovative leap forward that enables our customers to choose the cloud destination that makes the most sense based on cost, performance, governance and compliance. 

"It gives developers and line of business decision-makers ways to create and innovate at the speed they need to compete in today's market."

The solution has proven to be helpful when deployed in the healthcare sector, as the COVID-19 pandemic demands more from hospital IT systems.

"The transformation to digital healthcare is accelerating like never before," says Canterbury District Health Board chief digital officer Stella Ward.

"Our mission is to empower our clinicians with the right technological support and access to tools that they need in order to act fast, gain insights and deliver meaningful patient outcomes.

"HPE GreenLake Central gives us a simple-to-use single point of access to dashboards and reports which help us ensure regulatory compliance in our hybrid estate, as well as optimise our cloud spend so we can deliver new features and functionality to our staff much faster."

Google supports COVID-19 response efforts with maps and Android utility library update - Geospatial World

Posted: 27 Apr 2020 07:39 AM PDT

Novel coronavirus has threatened the entire human civilization, deterring life, health, social functioning, economy and international relations like never before. In the fight against this pandemic, maps and data are playing a crucial role. From rapid visualization of epidemic information to spatial tracking of confirmed cases, prediction of regional transmission, spatial segmentation of the epidemic risk and prevention level, balancing and management of the supply and demand of material resources, and social-emotional guidance and panic elimination, the huge amount of data is helping decision makers to measure the impact and ensure prevention and control of the infection.

To strengthen the flow of good data, Google, under its data for good program is helping data scientists, analysts and, communities working in the effort to combat COVID-19 response in aggregating data, discovering new information and publishing them for the use. Let's have a look at some of the initiatives of Google in this regard.

Google Maps Platform credits

The program is available to not-for-profit developers offering a publicly-available website or mobile app related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this, developers and organizations can submit their application which will be closely reviewed by Google team to determine eligibility. Developers who need help getting started to quickly deliver helpful, needed services to their communities, can visit the developer resource hub for more info.

One can start by reviewing the eligibility details available on developer resource site. Websites and apps offering legitimate services and  disseminating information from authoritative sources like for example,  Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organization, state and local health agencies are eligible. After this a Google Cloud Platform account need to be created and then a billing account as required to administer the program credits. After submitting your application enable the Google Maps Platform APIs and SDKs you want to useand generate an API key to authenticate your requests to the platform.

For a complete list of setup steps and requirements, see Get Started with Google Maps Platform.  

Maps Android Utility Library v1.0

The Maps Android Utility Library started as a project in 2013 to provide additional functionality not covered by the Maps SDK for Android. These features were designed to be a part of a separate library, rather than included in the core SDK, to prevent bloating the SDK. While the Maps SDK for Android provides several customization options—like displaying markers, ground overlays, or drawing shapes on the map—the utility library allows you to extend these capabilities even further as your app requirements change over time. For example, with the utility library one can implement marker clustering, customize markers, and add heatmaps to your map. You can get the latest version of this on maven

In this latest version Google has also addressed stability issues and fixed several bugs with KML layers. This allow you to display and interact with multiple map layers, update items within a cluster and handle KMZ data types 

COVID-19 public dataset program

COVID-19 public dataset program is a hosted repository of public datasets COVID-19 Public Dataset Program.which is free to access. With this researchers can also use BigQuery ML to train advanced machine learning models with this data right inside BigQuery at no additional cost. These datasets remove barriers and provide access to critical information quickly and easily, eliminating the need to search for and onboard large data files. Researchers can access the datasets from within the Google Cloud Console, along with a description of the data and sample queries to advance research. All data we include in the program will be public and freely available. The program will remain in effect until September 15, 2020.

HPAPI Drug Manufacturing Trends - Contract Pharma

Highly potent API (HPAPI) drugs make up a growing percentage of the small molecule drug development pipeline and this group of products is growing faster than the overall small molecule segment, 1 largely due to their usefulness in cancer treatments. Many of these drugs have accelerated timelines for approval and commercial development, which can be challenging for drug developers to keep up with. On the front-end, new technologies such as in-silico prediction tools contribute to shortening candidate selection, 2 while Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already brought a first candidate into clinical development. 3 On the back-end, regulatory drug approval timelines are being increasingly shortened: when analyzing drug approvals in 2019, almost three-quarters of drugs approved (71%) were approved under Priority Review. 4 A related trend is increasing competition in the oncology field, with 80% of new IND’s now belonging to small, emerging or virtual biotech companies. 5 These firms o...
