Eviden - Experts & Thought Leaders

Eviden, the Atos Group product brand pioneering in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI, announces that it has been selected by the European Commission to provide the technical platform to host and integrate the applications developed by the nine selected organisations constituting the AtLaS consortium for the HLTP Challenge. This project, one of the four selected projects, is launched and financed by the European Defence Fund. Eviden will also supply BARTENDER, its own innovative software, which enables natural language processing in hundreds of languages. Defence communication and intelligence gathering AtLaS' objectives include developing resilient systems for noise and multiple language handling The AtLaS project focuses on advancing Human Language Technology (HLT) in defence, by combining artificial intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to handle low-quality and multilingual data. AtLaS' objectives include developing resilient systems for noise and multiple language handling, leveraging advanced training and technologies like denoising.  During the challenge, the participating consortium members will have the opportunity to improve defence communication and intelligence gathering, as well as create adaptable systems for a European library of language technologies. HLTP challenge Bernard Payer, Global Head of Mission-Critical Systems, Eviden, Atos Group, said: "We are proud to have been selected by the European Commission on the HLTP challenge and to leverage our expertise in Systems Integration and Human Language Processing within a consortium of industrial companies." He adds, "This is all the more important as HLTP is an essential tool for identifying threats and gathering information that can be exploited for defense purposes." Evaluate the ALP solutions AtLaS aims to evaluate the automatic language processing (ALP) solutions provided by various European partners in the defense sector. It addresses the specific constraints of these solutions' operational frameworks, such as processing different dialects and languages in degraded and varied contexts, including noisy environments, theatres of operation, and communications.

Eviden, the Atos Group product brand, pioneering in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems, and vision AI, announces the availability of a cybersecure and sovereign Ethernet switching solution, the XMC Ethernet switch card, specifically designed for mission-critical environments. This innovative solution uses a protocol break of communications to achieve the security and independence of critical communication systems. Designed and manufactured in France, this XMC-format Ethernet switch card is a sovereign alternative to market offerings. Ethernet switching solution It is produced at Eviden's Aix-en-Provence site in France by teams with expertise in mission-critical systems It is produced at Eviden's Aix-en-Provence site in France by teams with expertise in mission-critical systems. It complements  Eviden's range of MLS Gateway solutions, which are multi-level security gateways designed for two-way communications between networks of different classifications. Eviden's new XMC Ethernet switch card is designed to protect data effectively. It incorporates powerful protection mechanisms that filter information, detect issues, and report anomalies to ensure secure and reliable transmission. XMC Ethernet switch card Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card is configurable, allowing systems to evolve Coupled with the CPU card of a critical system, Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card is configurable, allowing systems to evolve. It offers the ability to partition data between open and secure environments that require a break in protocol for security and confidentiality reasons. The card can be integrated on the mezzanine level with third-party embedded computers (air-land, naval or land-based) as well as with Eviden's multi-level gateway solutions (MLS Gateway). Designed for the highest levels of criticality, Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card supports multiple protocols and is compatible with the AFDX standard, enabling seamless integration into existing avionics systems. It is also DO-254 DAL A certifiable and developed in accordance with standards that support certification to the CC EAL 4+ level. It incorporates technology from Cetrac.io, a specialist in hardware switching technologies and a partner of Eviden. Authority comment Bernard Payer, Head of Mission-Critical Systems at Eviden, Atos Group, said: "Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card is a fusion of technologies designed to guarantee the security and compartmentalisation of critical information flows without reliance on foreign technologies or operators.” “Our next-generation Ethernet switching solution provides operators in mission-critical environments with a sovereign solution in their hands, reflecting the know-how of our teams. I am particularly proud to announce the availability of this solution.” Eviden's XMC Ethernet switch card will be presented at SIAE, June 16-22, booth Avantix S3, GIFAS pavilion, hall 2B C140.

Eviden, the Atos Group business pioneering in digital, cloud, big data and security announces the signature of a 50-million-euro contract with the Serbia’s Office for IT and eGovernment. Together, Eviden and the Serbian administration will deploy a National AI Factory – composed of an AI Centre of Excellence and a pioneering AI-dedicated supercomputing platform – aiming to accelerate Serbia’s AI capabilities and foster innovation across key sectors while reinforcing its technological autonomy using European technologies. AI innovation and growth Eviden will empower Serbia to address the growing challenges and requirements of AI More than just a simple infrastructure, an AI Factory is an extensive and complete set of shared AI-dedicated assets – talents, expertise, software, hardware – to foster AI innovation and growth, to democratise its use and to drive successful large-scale projects. By providing all necessary resources with European technologies through this single contract, Eviden will empower Serbia to address the growing challenges and requirements of AI. Advanced software layers This new National AI Factory, a first in the Balkan region, will integrate cutting-edge supercomputing resources, advanced software layers and specialised vertical expertise for use-case design and deployment. This dynamic ecosystem will be made accessible to Serbian public institutions, academic players and businesses in order to harness the power of AI and address critical challenges in health, energy, transportation and administration. Innovative AI use cases Eviden deploys its BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, designed in its French flagship factory To meet Serbia’s needs for computing power, Eviden will deploy its BullSequana XH3000 supercomputer, designed and manufactured in its French flagship factory. With up to 25 PetaFlops of computational power – the equivalent of 25 million billion operations per second – as well as 300 GPUs and 2.5 Petabytes of storage, this AI supercomputer will serve as the backbone of this AI Centre of Excellence, providing the necessary computing power to develop and run innovative AI use cases. Implementation of Eviden’s BullSequana AI platform In addition to this AI-dedicated hardware, the project will see the implementation of Eviden’s BullSequana AI platform, designed to accelerate AI applications development. The Eviden software layer will integrate Mistral AI assets who brings its pioneering European GenAI models to help drive groundbreaking use cases. Application of AI to Serbia’s strategic sectors AI specialists will bring their deep sense of sector-specific needs, ensuring an effective application of AI This combination of hardware and software capabilities will be complemented by a vertical AI expertise drawn from Eviden’s teams in France, Czech Republic and Serbian AI ecosystem. These AI specialists will bring their deep understanding of sector-specific needs, ensuring an effective application of AI to Serbia’s strategic sectors. They will also assist in recruiting and training engineers and academics across Serbia, ensuring the AI Centre of Excellence becomes a self-sustaining hub for innovation.  Application of artificial intelligence Mihailo Jovanovic, PhD, Director of the Office for IT and eGovernment, Government of the Republic of Serbia, said, “This partnership with Eviden, Europe’s pioneering supercomputing and AI player, is a historic moment for our country’s digital future, demonstrating the spirit of Franco-Serbian cooperation."
