Why should we embrace a new age of computing power in the Middle East – Gulf Business News
Charles Yang
Monday 20 April 2020
In todays digitally-connected world, humans use computing as an extension of our own capabilities. Computing power is a means to further explore our environment, to expand our abilities, and to create wondrous new inventions across every sector of society. From the convenience of smartphones and wearables to laptops and super-computers, computing is becoming ubiquitous in our lives.
Yet the way we look at computing continues to evolve. Computing and connectivity are advancing by leaps and bounds, and will soon pave the way to a digital world in which all things are connected, and all things are intelligent.
We anticipate that in five years from now, artificial intelligence (AI) applications will account for more than 80 per cent of all computing power used around the world. As the world continues to face challenges, particularly in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, we also see a greater reliance on computingbolstered by 5G connectivityto support applications like virtual collaboration, data collection and analytics, and disaster response command centers.
In the Middle East specifically, computing represents the cornerstone of tomorrows intelligent economy. All across the region, governments have reinforced investments in computing technology as part of their national visions. A new breed of incubators, labs, and academic institutions are being established to propel that technology forward on the local level.
Its perhaps no surprise that IDC recently noted that investments in digital transformation and innovation will account for 30 per cent of all IT spending in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa by 2024, up from 18 per cent just two years ago .
It is our responsibility now to ensure that everyone has access to this computing power. If we are to truly achieve ubiquitous computing, we need to work together to develop a common understanding of three key concepts: necessity, diversification, and investment.
Regarding necessity, we believe that ubiquitous computing will truly be the cornerstone of tomorrows intelligent society. Just as per capita GDP has traditionally been used to measure a countrys economic productivity, per capita computing power will be used to measure the stages of development in smart countries across the Middle East. This can actually be measured in something called gigaflops per second (GFLOPS).
Currently, per capita computing power in major countries ranges from 100 to 2,500 GFLOPS. Even places with high per capita computing power are just in the early stages of their development journey. In the next stage of growth, those nations will see per capita computing power surpass 10,000 GFLOPS. Its an enormous leap by any measure. In many ways, it is equivalent to how electricity formed the foundation for an industrial society with computing power forming the cornerstone of an intelligent society.
The second concept that needs contemplation is that of diversification. Specifically, we must build a diversified power ecosystem that can support the development of the Middle Easts computing industry. This will be essential to meet the needs of different application scenarios and data types which will be far more than what we currently have today.
To do this, we need to innovate within the underlying computing architecture. This will fundamentally require greater collaboration between technology developers, industry regulators, academia, and others to evolve the ecosystem at the speed required. An example of this is the Green Computing Consortium. This is a joint effort between global providers of servers and cloud computing solutions as well as universities and research institutions. This Consortium has brought together a remarkable number of industry resources and experts to help promote the development of a diversified computing power ecosystem.
The third concept we must consider is that of investment. Investment is needed to promote the kind of innovation that boosts economic growth and improves peoples lives. Enhanced computing power is ultimately done by promoting a countrys information and communications technology (ICT) sector, which thereby contributes to innovation in all other sectors. Higher computing power in industries such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy will lead to the improved welfare of nations across the Middle East. For example, it has been estimated that every dollar invested to make manufacturing plants more digital and intelligent can stimulate 10 dollars worth of growth. It therefore makes sense that in the regions many visionary plans for national development, governments have identified investing in ICT infrastructure as essential.
Underpinning all three of these concepts is the theme of cooperation. Cooperation is essential to achieve a world that is enhanced by ubiquitous computing.This knowledge sharing is particularly critical when nurturing a local talent ecosystem in the Middle East, whereby a new generation of aspiring minds can harness the value of this technology pivot.
By strengthening our common understanding of computing necessity, diversification, and investment strategies, we will be better able to contribute to the Middle East governments ambitious visions and national strategies to embrace the bright future of an intelligent society.

Most IoT Companies Are Adapting To Edge Computing As A Base – Express Computer
A recent research by Intel on self driving cars or autonomous vehicles has highlighted that a car would be generating around 1GB of data every second data and would also be requiring computing of this data within few seconds. However, cloud network solutions are quite fast enough to receive 1GB of data within a second, by computing possibilities, and also relaying it back.

If not this then, the time taken to ask for ask for a car to switch on the light, and the time it hits a tree, would leave very little time. Undoubtedly, systems are getting much faster, amid the coming of a new technology thats becoming all pervasive. To second that, Edge Computing is becoming a fast base for almost all IoT devices. This allows users to send in more data to the cloud, and several firms are also trying to put more power in computing devices.
Also, Artificial Intelligence is fast gaining momentum on Edge. Its noted that the concept is not new, given the focus on security and privacy, this becomes especially important as privacy scandals get uncovered. Edge can be calculated on the mobile phone too. Every phone has certain computing capacity and it stores specific data that it doesnt even share with the central server like fingerprints or face scanning.
Previously, there was a fear among people that manufacturing companies would be getting a hold of personal data, and can build further elaborate profiles. Now, the manufacturing companies gave consumers some assurances that the data would always be staying on the phone and would never be making it to Apples or Samsungs database. The decision would be left on the phone as to whether it would decide on encoding and decoding a fingerprint.
Siri and Google are cloud dependent, where any query by the user is being sent to the cloud, where AI determines the question and sends the answer back, which s being relayed to the user.
Amazon had announced a few years ago that it would be creating a custom chip for Echo, as the cloud is not over burdened with ever piece of information, but its calculated and determined within the device.
All of this might seem to be complicated, yet there are companies that are going through an elaborate exercise of understanding that not everything can be transferred to the cloud. In this regard, Edge paves out as the only solution. Here, an autonomous car doesnt need everything to be sent on the cloud. The information of what to hold and what not to can be taken by the computer onboard. For instance, a security cam can decide which information to hold, and what not to.
Also Watch:Key vectors of the future of computing: Hybrid cloud, edge computing and connected devices ~ Vikram K, Sr. Director, Industry Verticals, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
The held information can be transferred to the cloud. This facilitates the fact that computing on Edge can take various forms, but it doesnt talk about having control over data. Also, going forward, computer might give an illusion of choice of downloading updates, whereas Edge Computing doesnt. However, Edge would be needing more solutions, probably a Blockchain.

In addition, cloud robotics will benefit greatly from edge computing technologies, such as Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), as well as commercial introduction of 5G New Radio (5GNR) technologies based on millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies.
Teleoperation represents the ability to operate equipment or a machine from a distance. A specific form of teleoperation involving remote control of a robot from a distance is referred to as telerobotics. Teleoperation and telerobotics are both supported by ICT infrastructure including broadband communications, sensors, machine to machine (M2M) communications, and various Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
A digital twin is comprised of a virtual object representation of a real-world item in which the virtual is mapped to physical things in the real-world such as equipment, robots, or virtually any connected business asset. This mapping in the digital world is facilitated by IoT platforms and software that is leveraged to create a digital representation of the physical asset. The digital twin of a physical asset can provide data about its status such as its physical state and disposition.
Conversely, a digital object may be used to manipulate and control a real-world asset by way of teleoperation. The publisher of this report sees this form of cyber-physical connectivity, signaling, and control as a key capability to realize the vision for Industry 4.0 to fully digitize production, servitization, and the "as a service" model for products.
Virtual Reality (VR) technology and applications will undergo a substantial transformation during the pre-5G era, leading to mass adoption of full-featured, mobile supported, and fully immersive VR technologies in post-5G era starting 2020 (along with the commercial deployment of 5G). 5G is expected to reduce network latency significantly, which will enable many previously tethered-only applications and services such as streaming remote robotic controls and teleoperation via haptic or tactile communications, and 360-degree virtual reality-based user interfaces and controls.

Democrats sound the alarm on White House’s ‘refusal to cooperate’ in JEDI investigation – FedScoop
Written by Billy Mitchell Apr 17, 2020 | FEDSCOOP
Several Democrats on Capitol Hill have condemned the White House for not openly participating in an inspector generals investigation of the militarysJoint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI)commercial cloud contract.
TheOffice of the Inspector General issued along and sweeping reporton its nearly yearlonginvestigation into the $10 billion JEDI contract, which the Pentagon awarded to Microsoft last fall. In it, theDepartment of Defensewatchdog found evidence of ethical misconduct and the improper sharing of proprietary information with competing companies, among other things.
The part that didnt sit right with Democrat lawmakers, however, was the White Houses refusal tospeak with the IG regardingthe Trump administrationsalleged inappropriate interference with the contract evaluation and award process a claim that is at the heart of losing bidder Amazon Web Services ongoingprotest of the contract.The White Housedid not allow staff to speak with investigators, claiming presidential communications privilege, and the Pentagons general counsel instructed senior DOD leaders not to discuss any communications they may have had with the White House.
Despite that, the IG determined the evidence we received showed that the DoD personnel who evaluated the contract proposals and awarded Microsoft the JEDI Cloud contract were not pressured regarding their decision on the award of the contract by any DoD leaders more senior to them, who may have communicated with the White House,
This led many lawmakers and other experts to questionhow the IG could determine with crystal-clear certainty that the White House didnt, in fact, taint the contracts award to Microsoft. Even the IG says in its report: We could not definitively determine the full extent or nature of interactions that administration officials had, or may have had, with senior DoD officials regarding the JEDI Cloud procurement, which prevented it from reviewing the matter fully.
Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, thetop Democraton theSenate Armed Services Committee, called the report troubling and incomplete.
It offers yet another example of the presidents efforts to inappropriately pressure federal agencies, Reed said. He went as far as to suggest that President Trumps recent removal of acting DOD Inspector General Glen Fine had to do with his tough probing of Pentagon matters, such as this one. Mr. Fines removal now appears connected to his willingness to do his job and ask hard questions.
Rep. Adam Smith, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, told FedScoop the reports findings that DOD personnel werent pressured is good news. However, the White Houses refusal to participate in the investigation makes it impossible to know if the administration attempted to interfere at a high level,the Washington state Democrat said.
Unfortunately, the reports findings are stained by the White Houses refusal to cooperate in this investigation by once again invoking broad claims of executive privilege, Smith said. This administrations complete disregard for independent oversight is further highlighted by the Presidents recent firing of the Departments acting Inspector General. I commend the Inspector General for completing a thorough inquiry under challenging circumstances and I look forward to the Department moving forward in development of critical cloud computing infrastructure.
Smiths minority counterpart Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, didnt touch on the White Houses involvement in the investigation. The JEDI program is vital to our national security, he told FedScoop in an emailed statement. Now that the IG report is complete, it is imperative DOD move forward.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the matter is corruption is in plain sight, while pointing out Trumps well-documented disdain for Amazon and its owner Jeff Bezos.
When hes not firing Inspector Generals, Trump is obstructing their investigations. Here, hes hiding communications about a DOD contract for Amazon, a company Trump has repeatedly tried to punish because its founder owns the Washington Post, Schiff tweeted.
FedScoop reached out to other top Republicans on the Armed Servicespanels but they declined to comment.
The Pentagon took the report to be a final blow surrounding the JEDI cloud saga.The Inspectors General final report on the JEDI Cloud procurement confirms that the Department of Defense conducted the JEDI Cloud procurement process fairly and in accordance with law, a Pentagon spokesperson told FedScoop in an emailed statement. This report should finally close the door on the media and corporate-driven attacks on the career procurement officials who have been working tirelessly to get the much needed JEDI Cloud computing environment into the hands of our frontline warfighters while continuing to protect American taxpayers.
The same day as the reports release, Microsoft published an official blog post attributed to Jon Palmer, deputy general counsel, in which he fired shots at Amazon for its continued protest of the contract. Amazon did build its pricing for the entire procurement, and it wasnt good enough to win, Palmer writes. And now it wants a re-do. Thats not good for our war-fighters. Thats not good for confidence in public procurement. Thats not good for anybody but Amazon.
Amazon, however, has more questions than answers after the release of the IGs report.
This report doesnt tell us much. It says nothing about the merits of the award, which we know are highly questionable based on the Judges recent statements and the governments request to go back and take corrective action, an AWS spokesperson told FedScoop. And, its clear that this report couldnt assess political interference because several DoD witnesses were instructed by the White House not to answer the IGs questions about communications between the White House and DoD officials. The White Houses refusal to cooperate with the IGs investigation is yet another blatant attempt to avoid a meaningful and transparent review of the JEDI contract award.

Embracing the computing power of Azure – ITWeb
Paul Morgan
South African companies can start realising significant business benefits now by utilising the high-performance computing capabilities of the locally available Microsoft Azure data centres even if they havent migrated any data to the cloud yet!
There is a range of capabilities available in Azure that simply do not exist in an on-premises environment at an equivalent price point such as enterprise scale artificial intelligence. An organisation can easily get access to high-end computational services, such as Azure Databricks (an Apache Spark-based analytics platform), capable of running complex machine learning scripts at incredibly high speeds that would be cost-prohibitive using on-premises systems.
Furthermore, these services can be turned on and off whenever required. The client, therefore, only pays for usage and there are no expenses associated with servers sitting idle.
However, although its not necessary to have the bulk of organisational data in the cloud for this type of activity, there will be costs associated with continually transferring terabytes into Azure for computation. At Altron Karabina, we therefore believe the time is right to start moving corporate data into the local Azure cloud permanently the platform has definitely proved itself.
Driving innovation
The likes of AI, automation, real-time data analysis and other sophisticated technologies available through local Azure data centres will definitely make it easier for companies to embrace innovation.
Today, decision-makers have a variety of options available to them to extract business value. While it is possible for organisations to develop solutions completely from scratch, they can also use pre-built Azure services to add value. For example, Azure Cognitive Services are able to provide pre-trained models for facial recognition, text sentiment analysis and speech-to-text services, among others. A facial recognition capability can be built into a standard office application by a developer who has absolutely no idea of the deep neural networks that are required to make an AI service work. This allows innovative ideas to be delivered without needing to employ all the skills needed to create them.
This means companies can start embracing Azure now for competitive advantage. They dont need to procure expensive software or hardware, and they dont need to employ huge teams of AI specialists to start delivering innovative solutions now.
Putting into practice
A local example of this type of innovation thinking was recently deployed at one of Altron Karabinas clients in the insurance sector. The business required a way to fast-track call centre e-mails where the customers tone and language indicated frustration or annoyance. Using Azure Cognitive Services combined with robotic process automation (RPA), Altron Karabina worked with Microsoft and the client to automate the process as e-mails arrive. In essence, the process identifies the probability of the customer being highly upset, based on their e-mail content, and flags it accordingly. The business also wanted to classify claims based on attached images. Azure Cognitive Services Image Recognition was used in this case; if a claim came into the call centre with photographs attached of a damaged car, rules were applied to identify the picture and push it through the vehicle claims workflow mechanism.
Experimentation required
Even if a company is hesitant to migrate all its data to the cloud, it is possible to start exploring a few aspects of Azures high-performance capabilities and what the impact can be to the organisation. Even at an individual level, a person could use Azure Databricks to analyse their personal credit card payments and sort them into different categories at a limited cost. The cloud can therefore work effectively for tiny things or a very complicated business process.
This year, the expectation is that more companies and people will start using AI for high-innovation projects. All of this is possible through high-performance computing, available locally now in Azure.

Pentagon IG says giant cloud computing contract properly went to Microsoft – Roll Call
A top Pentagon watchdog said Wednesday that the Defense Department acted properly when it awarded a potential $10 billion contract for cloud computing to Microsoft over Amazon and other competitors.
The contract is known in Pentagon circles as the JEDI the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure Cloud, or JEDI Cloud.
The Defense Department Inspector General released a 313-page report summarizing the findings of the 10-month investigation that began in June 2019. The report concluded that the Pentagon's October 2019 decision to award the contract to Microsoft and no other contractors was consistent with applicable law and acquisition standards.
The contract, which is potentially worth up to $10 billion over a 10-year period, allows the Defense Department to obtain cloud computing services and overhaul its old computer systems.
However, the report did not provide an unvarnished exoneration of the procurement process. Amazon accused President Donald Trump in December last year of applying improper pressure on the Pentagon to keep the contract away from Amazon Web Services, and the inspector generals office concluded that it could not definitively determine the full extent or nature of any White House influence on the contract process.

Pentagon IG says giant cloud computing contract properly went to Microsoft - Roll Call
Enterprises need cloud for innovation but security and automation gap remains, says report – Cloud Tech
The gap between the haves and have nots when it comes to enterprise cloud implementation continues to be ploughed: according to a new study from security provider DivvyCloud, less than half of enterprises polled are equipped to operate in the cloud securely.
The 2020 State of Enterprise Cloud Adoption and Security report, which polled around 2,000 IT professionals, found that while 85% of enterprise organisations believe cloud adoption is necessary for innovation, only two in five (40%) said they had a cloud and container security approach in place.
58% of respondents said their organisation had clear guidelines and policies in place for developers building and operating apps in the public cloud and of that number, a quarter said policies were not enforced.
A similar gap exists when it comes to automation policies. More than two thirds of those polled said automation could provide benefits to their organisations cloud security strategy, but less than half (48%) admitted their strategies currently incorporated automation. 49% of respondents said their developers and engineers at times ignore or circumvent cloud security and compliance policies.
The report describes the muddle adroitly. Too often, enterprises are making a false choice: either embrace cloud rapidly and carelessly, or approach it with such timidity that inhibits true cloud adoption, the executive summary reads. Some enterprises are finding a middle ground: the ability to adopt cloud at pace but doing so in a way that embraces friction-free, continuous security and compliance.
Brian Johnson, CEO of DivvyCloud, noted in a statement that this choice between innovation and security ought to be a misnomer, with just over a third (35%) of those polled believing security does not impede developers access to best in class cloud services.
Speaking to CloudTech earlier this month, Jeremy Snyder, VP business/corporate development and international strategy, noted the importance of automation applied towards governance, particularly in the current climate. In the current situation, youve got a lot of people needing to get things done, so the default behaviour is to give people access to go and do whatever they want to do, he said. What we see happening is that people are really good at creating stuff, but theyre not good at cleaning up after themselves.

Benefits of Cloud Computing in Healthcare – Express Healthcare
Deepak Singh, Director Strategic Initiatives & Planning, G7 CR Technologies India talks on how cloud computing could change the healthcare scenario as we see it and the advantage it provides to tackle pandemics such as the one we are faced with currently
I write this at a time, when the world is battling one of the worst pandemics in the last three decades. As I write this, COVID-19 has already spread its tentacles across 162 countries, consumed over 117021 precious lives and has jeopardised the health and well being of another 1844863 human souls. It is ironical that an organism invisible to the naked eye can wreak such havoc. But then history is laced with many such examples. While it is unfortunate; it does present us with an opportunity to look beyond conventional wisdom, shed conservatism and embrace technology at a faster pace to better manage and in some cases prevent health hazards.
Why technology? Back in January 2020 when I first read about Corona virus, my intellectual curiosity drove me to history of pandemics, in this otherwise beautiful world. Since the turn of the 20th century, the world has witnessed five major pandemics. From 6th Cholera pandemic in 1910-1911 to the Flu pandemic in 1968, millions of promising lives were lost; in one of the cases a 3rd of worlds population was infected. While there have been flu outbreaks since 1968, none as deadly as the ones before 1968. The time period post 1968, interestingly, coincides with development of personal computers and more importantly the emergence of information and communication technology. Being a technology enthusiast, it was natural of me to think, whether technology had anything to do with better management of flu outbreaks post 1968. While I do not have enough data points to conclude technologies role in pandemic management, subsequent to 1968; its safe to presume that it has played an increasingly important role as evidenced in the recent past.
If technology can save lives, why arent we seeing more of it in the healthcare vertical? Historically healthcare has been the slowest to adopt technology. Further, it has seen far less disruption than other industry verticals. While there are varying opinions about the slow adoption rate; four things standout,
The very same life and death nature of the industry makes it imperative for healthcare stakeholders to embrace technology and innovation, as time assumes paramount importance. Further, I am an advocate of data privacy but wouldnt prioritise it over a human life. Accessibility to patient information across geographies to authorised personnel only will save a lot of time and effort for all parties involved and improve the decision-making process. An electronic health record is the need of the hour and with smart use of technology it can be implemented within the framework of the regulations. Similarly, right technology can save significant cost for healthcare providers thereby making it affordable. Lastly, modern medicine is overwhelmingly reactive than proactive. The approach, Get sick, Seek help is an expensive model and fraught with dangers.
I reiterate, the importance of technology in healthcare cannot be underrated and all the challenges I have discussed thus far can be addressed with effective utilisation of technology. The advent of cloud technology is a revolution of sorts. Cloud computing technologies, if implemented and used appropriately, addresses all the of the concerns mentioned above. The advantages of cloud computing far outweigh the perceived risks associated with data privacy. In fact, cloud service providers undergo more scrutiny and are required to comply by any and all privacy standards, including but not limited to HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
I have the privilege of hosting a health-tech start-up on cloud, that provides a secure, compliant and fully integrated platform for adherence and patient management. Healthcare staff can log into their portal to register and follow up with patients, whose adherence reports from any of their integrated technologies appear side-by-side including 99DOTS, evriMED devices and VOT. Their application powers, Government of Indias healthcareplatform which supports the full digitisation of the cascade of care and is used by every healthcare worker across the country for activities spanning patient management of details, diagnostics, adherence, DBT payments, treatment outcomes, test results, and follow up.
Apart from being safe and secure, cloud provides elasticity and scalability. Daily / seasonal peaks and troughs in workload create a sudden increased demand on the system. Instead of spending budget on additional permanent infrastructure capacity to handle a constant yet temporary workload, this is a good opportunity to use an elastic solution. The additional infrastructure to handle the increased volume is only used in as pay-as-you-grow model and then shrinks back to a lower capacity for the remainder of the duration. One of the largest chain of hospitals happens to be our client and they have effectively utilised the clouds elasticity for their benefit. Their IT infrastructure experiences peak volumes every morning and evening and on weekends and the clouds elasticity helps them manage their infrastructure without manual intervention. It scales up when the demand is high and scales down when the demand reduces. Other features and functionalities of cloud, for e.g. storage and networking, provide connectivity, mobility and accessibility to information. This drives collaboration and faster sharing of information over a secured network. One of our clients is a leading pharmaceutical company and hosts a patient management system on cloud.
