Quantum accelerates data-intensive autonomous vehicle research at Mississippi State University
NEWS uantum Corporation has announced its role in
Q accelerating all-terrain autonomous vehicle research at the Centre for Advanced Vehicular Systems ( CAVS ) at Mississippi State University ( MSU ), one of the premier university automotive research centres in the world . CAVS collects vast amounts of unstructured data using Quantum R-Series
Edge Storage , a high-performance , ruggedised solution purpose-built for capturing massive data volumes in Edge environments . The data is generated by vehicles and used for further analysis and Machine Learning ( ML ) model development in the CAVS data centre .
Data storage and processing needs for Autonomous Vehicle ( AVs ) development are growing . Mobility Foresights research estimates that 20 % of new cars sold globally will have at least Level 3 autonomous driving capability by 2030 . An estimated 90 million connected and autonomous vehicles will each generate up to 10 Terabytes ( TB ) of data per day or one Zettabyte ( ZB ) per day across the industry . The automotive industry increasingly requires storage solutions that are flexible , scalable , easy to manage and highly reliable to address the big data challenge .
At the CAVS facility , featuring a 55-acre off-road proving ground , test vehicles equipped with a variety of sensors collect a wide array of data about the outdoor terrain . This data is then used to create a digital twin of the environment for running driving simulations . These simulations are leveraged to create navigation software that guides AVs through the outdoor terrain .
Global Technical Realty breaks ground at first UK data centre campus
lobal Technical Realty ( GTR ) has broken ground on its first
G
40.5 MW IT load UK data centre campus – GB One . GTR , a US $ 1 billion European build-to-suit data centre platform , agreed to lease the site at
Slough Trading Estate , London ’ s premier data centre hub in June 2021 , partnering with estate owner , SEGRO , which will be developing the building shell . When complete , the campus will be one of the largest in the area , comprising three independent data centres capable of operating individually or as one interlinked facility .
Each building will accommodate over 5,375m 2 of net technical area and 13.5 MW IT load .
“ The data centre sector is experiencing phenomenal growth and is evolving at a rate we ’ ve never seen before ,” said Franek Sodzawiczny , Founder and CEO at Global Technical Realty .
“ GTR is in the unique position of having an equity capital commitment with KKR ’ s third global infrastructure fund . This gives us the flexibility to not only fund projects rapidly but to also offer continuity of support to our customers across multiple facilities and locations . We are motivated to get our first UK data centre up and operational and are delighted to be partnering with SEGRO to help achieve this .”
