AWS to Invest €7.8 billion to Build and Expand Data Centers in Europe 💥  This investment is not only a game-changer for the European cloud market but also aims to meet the rising demand for data residency and sovereignty requirements. With a sovereign cloud infrastructure, data will be stored and processed within the borders of specific countries or organizations. 🔥 The new infrastructure will offer a wide range of AWS services, including compute, storage, databases, and machine learning. This means faster and more efficient access to cutting-edge technologies for European customers. 💼 On top of that, this expansion is expected to create thousands of new jobs, stimulating the European economy and supporting the digital transformation of businesses and governments across the continent. This investment demonstrates AWS's commitment to providing exceptional cloud services and supporting the growth and success of European organizations. 🚀 #AWS #cloudservices #Europeanmarket #sovereigncloud #digitaltransformation #technology https://lnkd.in/dJ46Swpc

A clear example of how AI can help us improve our lives and those of our children. Boston Children’s Hospital, one of the leading pediatric hospitals in the US, is piloting imaging analysis using Red Hat OpenShift for artificial intelligence. The collaboration aims to improve image quality, speed, and accuracy of image interpretation in the hospital’s radiology department. The AI application has the potential to automatically examine x-rays, identify valuable diagnostic images, and flag discrepancies for radiologists, which translates into a reduction of interpretation time.   This innovative approach extends beyond traditional enterprise IT, exemplifying the positive impact of AI in healthcare. #Healthcare #AI #Radiology #Innovation #RedHat #ArtificialIntelligence #OpenSource #HealthcareInnovation https://lnkd.in/e8B5gHYd
