  • AI4BD is leading provider for Cogntive Enterprise System using the Cogntive Business Robotics approach
  • Provision of customized digital, AI-driven co-workers which take over both easy repetitive tasks as well as complex, interconnected workflows

Status Quo

  • Anonymous, none-German cloud providers used
  • Initial infrastructure scaling tests were made with Docker Swarm and Kubernetes
  • Only little practical experience in handling Kubernetes were available

How we help

  • Close consultation regarding the infrastructure and Kubernetes solution offered by one skilled contact provider
  • Take over of complete productive Kubernetes cluster setup
  • Data hosting in Frankfurt a. M. in Germany
  • Joint benchmarking of various GPU solutions incl vGPU test

What's next?

  • Enhance AI4BDs machine learning infrastructure by extra security features provided by SecuStack, a security hardened OpenStack version
  • Facilitate vGPU setups on inference time to reduce CPU loads

“During the search for a suitable cloud provider both for us and our customers, the following requirements were important: a) secure, GDPR-compliant data storage in Germany, b) close, local cooperation from consulting to technical support, and c) an attractive price/performance ratio. Cloud&Heat convinced us in all these respects. Moreover, the overall future-oriented and sustainable concept reflects many points of our own corporate philosophy.”

Movebis

Scalable IaaS for improved Cycling Conditions

GET IN TOUCH

About Movebis

  • Research project, run from 2017 to 2020, funded by mFund of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure
  • Project consortium consisting of TU Dresden (Chairs of Transport Ecology and Computer Networks), Climate Alliance, and Cyface GmbH
  • Project’s goal: Automatical determination of information about the cycling infrastructure from sensor-based movement data of cyclists.

Status Quo

  • Requirement for reliable IaaS infrastructure which enables both real-time data conversion and horizontal scalability according to increasing user numbers

How we help

  • Provision of IaaS infrastructure, including scalable, high-available compute capacity, storage, monitoring, 24/7 support
  • Submission of best offer regarding price and security/data protection regulations among considered European IaaS providers
  • Conviction through energy-efficient operation of the underlying infrastructure
  • Close regional partnership; operation of the datacenter in Frankfurt/Main in direct proximity to the consortium partner Climate Alliance

What's next?

  • Current considerations regarding company foundation take place in order to continue and expand research activities
  • Continuation of the partnership and  even an expansion by Cloud&Heat Managed Kubernetes is conceivable

„In Cloud&Heat, we have found a regional partner, who not only offers a reliable IT infrastructure, but also meets our high requirements for energy efficiency and secure processing of personal data. We are looking forward to maintain our valuable partnership in context of new projects.“
