NetApp joins hands Intel
NEW DELHI: NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, has announced the release of NetApp AIPod Mini with Intel, a joint solution designed to streamline enterprise adoption of AI inferencing.
This collaboration addresses the unique challenges businesses face when deploying AI, such as cost and complexity, at the department and team level.
To thrive in the era of intelligence, enterprises have adopted AI to enhance efficiency and data-driven decision-making across their operations. A study by Harvard Business School found that consultants given access to AI tools were able to increase their productivity, completing 12.2 per cent more tasks and completing them 25.1 per cent more quickly.
However, individual business units may find that the broadly available general-purpose AI applications are not able to meet their specific needs, but do not have the technical expertise or budget to customise an AI application from scratch.
NetApp and Intel have partnered to provide businesses with an integrated AI inferencing solution built on an intelligent data infrastructure framework that allows specific business functions to leverage their distinct data to create outcomes that support their needs.
NetApp AIPod Mini streamlines the deployment and use of AI for specific applications such as automating aspects of document drafting and research for legal teams, implementing personalised shopping experiences and dynamic pricing for retail teams, and optimising predictive maintenance and supply chains for manufacturing units.
“Our mission is to unlock AI for every team at every level without the traditional barriers of complexity or cost,” said Dallas Olson, Chief Commercial Officer at NetApp. “NetApp AIPod Mini with Intel gives our customers a solution that not only transforms how teams can use AI but also makes it easy to customise, deploy, and maintain. We are turning proprietary enterprise data into powerful business outcomes.”

Yash Vardhan, Co-Founder, The Automobile Group, added, “Our vision with The Automobile Group is to build Asia’s most powerful auto-centric performance network. The partnership with AdCounty is a strategic step toward expanding our footprint in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia and the Philippines — markets with immense potential.”
NEW DELHI: NXP Semiconductors unveiled its new S32R47 imaging radar processors in 16 nm FinFET technology, building on NXP’s proven expertise in the imaging radar space.
The third generation of imaging radar processors delivers up to twice the processing power versus the previous generation, alongside improved system cost and power efficiency.
In combination with NXP’s mmWave radar transceivers, power management and in-vehicle networking solutions, the S32R47 family meets functional safety ASIL ISO 26262 ASIL B(D) requirements and prepares the automotive industry for new levels of autonomous driving.
According to Yole Intelligence’s Status of the Radar Industry 2024 report, by 2029, approximately 40% of vehicles entering the road will be passenger cars with driving automation Level 2+(L2+)/ Level 3 (L3) as well as an increasing number of vehicles with Level 4 (L4). To serve the fast-growing autonomous driving market for SDVs, automotive OEMs and tier 1 suppliers need to improve radar performance as it is essential for safe, advanced autonomy features such as piloted driving or fully automated parking.
“The S32R47 can efficiently process three times, or more, antenna channels in real time than today’s production solutions. It enables improved imaging radar resolution, sensitivity and dynamic range – required by demanding autonomous driving use cases – while still meeting the stringent power and system cost targets set by OEMs for volume production”, said Meindert van den Beld, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Radar & ADAS.
Imaging radar leverages richer point cloud data for more detailed modeling of the environment. This is a key enabler for AI based perception systems which allow for assisted and autonomous driving in the most challenging environmental conditions, such as complex urban scenarios.
The S32R47 integrates a high-performance multi-core radar processing system, allowing denser point cloud output and enhanced algorithms that enable next- generation ADAS systems. This results in better separability of objects, improved detection reliability and more accurate classification of objects such as vulnerable road users or lost cargo.
NXP’s 3rd generation imaging radar solutions
- Built on know-how and the proven technology of two previous generations, the new solution delivers up to 2x processing performance in the radar MPU in a 38% smaller IC footprint. It also includes AI/ML support for features like enhanced Direction of Arrival (DoA) processing and object classification
- NXP’s next generation imaging radar solutions enable new imaging radars with optimized bill of material and increased scalability in terms of antenna channels and processing capability
- NXP’s solution achieves comparable or better performance with up to 89% less antenna channels than alternative solutions, solving integration challenges with reduced system cost, size and power consumption
