Infor Delivers Coleman AI Platform

Infor, a global leader in business cloud software specialized by industry,

announced the general availability (GA) of its Infor Coleman AI (Artificial
Intelligence) Platform for embedded machine learning models. The
platform provides the speed, repeatability and personalization needed for
enterprises to fully operationalize AI – and it serves as a key building block
for Infor’s Intelligent CloudSuite. The enterprise AI environment is
characterized by a myriad of developer-centric tools, which are designed
primarily for experimental projects. With these tools, it is difficult to
implement complete projects — and services quality and speed are
painfully slow. As a result, the practical use of AI and machine learning in
the enterprise remains low. With the Infor Coleman AI Platform,
enterprises can take advantage of industry-specific starter packs (templates)
to accelerate development of repeatable big data, machine learning-based
AI projects. These templates are highly personalized and tailored to
specific customer data and usage patterns. Further, they are designed for
use by “citizen developers,” who don’t need extensive data modeling skills.

Zerto Previews Integration Into VAIO Framework at

VMworld
Zerto, an industry leader for IT resilience, announced the launch of an

Early Access Program for the Zerto platform certified with VMware’s
VAIO framework. The VAIO-certified version, expected to become GA
in Q4 2019, allows for deployment and support for Secure Boot for
vSphere hosts. This is especially important for government agencies
and highly secure environments more generally. The vSphere APIs for
I/O Filtering (VAIO) allows vendors to develop filters that can
intercept any IO requests from a VM to a virtual disk. This integration
with Zerto will allow Zerto customers on future IT Resilience Platform
versions to create VM replication policies in vCenter’s Storage Policy
Based Management for use in continuous data protection and IT
Resilience. Certification with VAIO is accomplished by the creation of
a tested and validated vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB). Zerto has
completed the initial certification of its VIB as part of the development
process for its next major release. As part of the certification, Zerto is
now listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide.

Finastra and NetGuardians team up on AI-powered financial

messaging fraud detection
Description 55
Finastra has announced its partnership with Swiss Fintech, NetGuardians,

which sees the two companies launching an AI-powered fraud detection
solution for financial messaging. Tailored for Finastra’s SWIFT Service
Bureau, the tool uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify
fraudulent payments in real-time, stopping them before money leaves the
bank or corporate organization.Unlike other rules-based solutions,
NetGuardians’ software uses a combination of AI and machine learning to
proactively monitor for anomalies. It captures all network traffic and
SWIFT MT 101, 103 and 202COV payments, analyzing unusual user
activity to ultimately suspend suspected fraudulent transactions.The tool’s
algorithms continuously learn about the bank’s payment instruction
patterns, allowing it to identify high-risk message anomalies without
needing to configure any rules. As a result, customers benefit from rapid
implementation, improved detection and prevention rates, as well as a
significant decrease in false positives and time spent on fraud investigation.
The solution helps banks conform to SWIFT’s mandatory Customer
Security Program.

Oracle and Microsoft Expand Their Multicloud Alliance to the

London Region
Description 58
Microsoft and Oracle jointly announced an industry-first multicloud
collaboration. This collaboration enables customers to interconnect the
two company's clouds and simplify management for IT environments
and individual applications that span both clouds. Since the
announcement, we’ve been excited, but not surprised, by the volume of
joint Microsoft and Oracle customers who are interested in creating
innovative multicloud solutions.The initial phase of alliance enabled
customers in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Ashburn, Virginia, region
to connect with resources in the Microsoft Azure US East region, also
in Virginia. Connecting cloud regions that are physically close to each
other makes the interconnection more useful. Closer cloud resources
means less latency, which enables better data transfer and application
interaction between clouds, and supports a broader spectrum of
workloads using resources on both sides.
