Atos mobilizes technological expertise to fight Covid-19

Paris, 28 April 2020

Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, delivers its technological innovation leadership, skills and innovation sources to the global battle from Covid-19. By way of many immediate and partner-led initiatives throughout the globe, Atos is engaged on multiple fronts, furnishing methods and computing power to enable incorporate the spread of the virus, aid the scientific local community, speed up vaccine research and guarantee organization continuity for vital pursuits.

“An successful reaction to COVID-19 involves global motion and collaboration concerning general public and personal actors. We are very pleased to be assisting those people doing work intensively on the frontline in an effort to counteract the pandemic by sharing our sources and methods. We are now in uncharted territory, but Atos’ commitment and willingness to enable citizens dwell and operate sustainably and confidently in a transforming digital landscape throughout the pandemic and in the extended phrase, keep on being intact,” claims Elie Girard, Atos CEO.

 

Helping local authorities incorporate the spread of the virus

The expanding mobility of the inhabitants will make containment of health conditions more durable and the want to act swiftly and proficiently is important at each stage.

Leveraging its general public sector and healthcare practical experience, Atos has intended EpiSYS, an Epidemic Management System (EMS) which gives healthcare pros a precise overview of an epidemiological predicament by storing and running all individual information and information connected to the virus, such as monitoring and tracing individual incident reviews, in authentic-time. EpiSYS was adopted in Austria in early March to enable control the spread of Covid-19 and choose strategic conclusions in the existing crisis.

Mobilizing supercomputers and machine studying to velocity up research

Atos’ substantial-overall performance computers can count thousands of periods more rapidly than typical computers. Whether or not they are utilized for simulation, to make predictive designs, review the progress of the ailment or build new treatment plans, these potent machines are carrying out extremely demanding calculations that confirm to be important in today’s race from the clock.

Atos’ supercomputers are at operate close to the earth. Two of the most potent supercomputers in France, Joliot-Curie, operated  at  the CEA’s  supercomputing  center  (TGCC),  and  Occigen,  operated  at  CPU’s supercomputing center (CINES), are furnishing urgent computing obtain to significant personal computer sources to European research groups associated in the battle from COVID-19.

In the United kingdom, Atos’ BullSequana supercomputer at the Hartree Centre is furnishing computing power to operate simulations of Covid-19 protein actions. In addition, the JADE nationwide AI supercomputing facility presented and managed by Atos is remaining utilized by United kingdom researchers from the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Southampton doing work in the spot of biomolecular simulations. This supercomputer, owned by Oxford College and hosted at the Hartree Centre, element of the Science and Engineering Services Council (STFC), contributes in the direction of initiatives in the advancement of a vaccine from SARS-COV2, anti-viral medicine and to much better realize the molecular architecture of the virus and how it capabilities.

Likewise, Atos’ supercomputers in Brazil and the Czech Republic are also driving research close to Covid-19.

 

Delivering organization continuity with protected and flexible digital environments

Atos’ technologies also enjoy a vital function in preserving organization continuity amid the pandemic. To solution the issues that organizations are struggling with with residence office getting to be the norm, Atos has created and adapted a comprehensive workplace providers supplying and delivers close-to-close methods, from distant administration to wireless technological innovation, when making sure the stability of any company atmosphere.

It is also important to guarantee governing administration and general public authorities are able to go on to supply basic everyday wants for each citizen’s lifestyle. In the past weeks, Atos has been able to ensure provider continuity with QoS (Good quality of Services) for power utilities and h2o supplies, like Scottish H2o, in numerous countries thanks to an unwavering commitment and abilities in these industries.

 

Sharing our information science skills with the research local community

Atos is using element in the ‘Covid–19 Dataset Challenge’, an worldwide competitiveness introduced by the White House, inquiring AI researchers to utilize machine studying instruments and methods to enable give solution to key thoughts about the ailment. Atos has a devoted staff of ten authorities doing work on the undertaking.
