KAWASAKI—Toshiba Digital Solutions Corporation (Toshiba) announced today it has signed an agreement with Dell Technologies as the key infrastructure provider to build Artificial Intelligence (AI) services for mission-critical customer use cases.
Artificial intelligence in Industrial IoT (IIoT) is expected to grow at a 57% CAGR in support of use cases that include social infrastructure, energy, retail/logistics, buildings/facilities and mobility/transportation. Supporting use cases such as preventive maintenance, crime prevention, disaster recovery, cyber security, demand prediction and transportation quality improvement will require high performance infrastructure that can ensure high availability and security.
Both companies have agreed to evaluate the performance and functionality required for AI services in mission critical areas and will build a highly available environment for Toshiba’s analytics platform, [SATLYS], utilizing servers, storage and cloud technologies from Dell Technologies businesses, Dell EMC and Virtustream.
Dell EMC’s server, storage and cloud offerings are the essential and optimal IT infrastructure for helping customers achieve their digital transformation initiatives, delivering the broadest portfolio of solutions from edge, to core, to cloud. Virtustream’s cloud services meet mission critical requirements for Industrial IoT across different regions and its global footprint will help enable Toshiba to rapidly deploy its AI solutions to multiple geographies.
Toshiba’s [SATLYS], is an analytics AI service which enables accurate recognition, prediction, cause inference, anomaly detection, failure prediction and behavior inference. With its inspection, sensor, application and behavioral data analytics, the AI service is being designed to help accelerate a customers’ digital transformation initiatives.
