NEW YORK and PARIS, Jan. 26, 2022 /CNW/ -- Verizon Business
and Atos today announce an industry-leading partnership to power
intelligent IoT solutions with private 5G multi-access edge
computing for businesses, government and communities worldwide. The
5G edge solution will transform the way companies can leverage
predictive analytics, allowing them to improve operational
efficiency, mitigate risk and increase revenue.
Combining the expertise of Verizon and Atos, organizations will
be able to create immersive digital experiences that fully exercise
5G environments on the edge of their networks, representing the
next breakthrough in business value. The Verizon-Atos solution
provides an end-to-end architecture that includes hardware, 5G,
application and automation, field services and service desk
support. The joint solution cost effectively overcomes scalability
and latency challenges.
Verizon will implement Atos Computer Vision platform in their
private 5G multi-access edge computing as part of the joint
solution for enterprises, providing ready-to-deploy business use
cases in various industries. The Atos platform plays a role in
bringing key capabilities in AI-powered video analytics to mission
critical environments. Verizon's use of Atos' BullSequana Edge
servers will strengthen its 5G edge offers and will unlock new use
cases, advancements of network security, connectivity and data
management.
The joint solution will focus on large scale, cloud and
AI-powered data analytics to help businesses operate more
efficiently. In one of the use cases, the platform will analyze 180
billion data points every hour. Using this system, the engineers
and operators will be able to pinpoint exactly when and where
operation downtime is predicted, up to 30 days in advance. Further,
key metrics and trends will lead to operational efficiency and
remove points of failure over time. These insights can come from a
localized part of the system and can be applied across a global
landscape.
"This new, joint solution will
provide enterprise customers with an unprecedented level of insight
into their operations, and we're excited about the prospect of
building on our existing partnership with Atos. We know the future
will be built on our leading 5G network, and today's announcement
is another example of how our products and solutions are having a
genuine impact on business efficiency and revenue
today," said Tami Erwin,
CEO, Verizon Business.
"We are proud to combine our
uniquely positioned digital transformations in telecommunications
and edge computing with Verizon Business' reliable, high
performance 5G networks to revolutionize the way people live, work
and play. This industry-leading partnership exemplifies how we will
innovate the 5G marketplace to the benefit of new and exciting user
experiences for both business and consumers alike," said
Jean-Philippe Poirault, Head of
Telecom, Media and Technology, Atos.
The scalable solution is available to customers across a variety
of industries - including transport, industrials, logistics and
manufacturing - and highlights the impact that secure, multi-access
edge computing can have on an organizations' bottom-line.
Through this partnership, Atos and Verizon have positioned
themselves as trusted 5G partners for enterprise clients across all
sectors. The solution leverages both organizations' capabilities,
including expertise in cybersecurity, edge compute and AI/ML, and
unlocks the full potential of 5G for businesses.
