Home Industry Technology Gitex Global: Lenovo and nybl partner to build AI ecosystem The partnership will allow Lenovo and nybl to create customised solutions in a customer-first approach, creating advanced AI ecosystems for a variety of use-case scenarios by Zubina Ahmed October 12, 2022 nybl, the science-based artificial intelligence (AI) pioneer and Lenovo, the world’s fourth-largest PC maker, announced their global partnership at the Gitex Global that will combine the software of the former with the hardware of the latter. The agreement will ensure Lenovo’s Edge AI servers with hardware are complemented by software from nybl. It marks the latest development in nybl building a comprehensive end-to-end AI ecosystem that enables anyone to connect to and analyse vast data sets in real-time without writing any code or relying on historical training data. The partnership will allow Lenovo and nybl to create customised solutions in a customer-first approach, creating advanced AI ecosystems for a variety of use-case scenarios. Nicholas Borsotto, worldwide manager for AI alliances at Lenovo, said: “Our focus is to assemble best-of-breed AI partners from around the world, supporting them in their journey to scale and collaborating to support our clients’ journey to scale AI in their companies. nybl stood out for the strength of their bespoke AI services, their level of expertise with Edge technology and real-life deployment, and the scale of their ambition to tackle global challenges using end-to-end AI solutions.” Noor Alnahhas, CEO of nybl, said: “We want to be world leaders in AI platforms, tools and solutions. Having the right partners who are aligned is crucial. We fit exceptionally well with Lenovo across all three pillars. We see eye-to-eye on our vision for the industry and, as a result, we’ve hit the ground running, which has been very exciting. Lenovo’s Edge AI servers and our AI tools are a match made in heaven in terms of enabling robust, cost-effective performance.” Nybl’s offerings focus on industries such as oil and gas; healthcare; physical and cyber-security; fintech; and retail that have stringent data security and compliance requirements, meaning that many prefer not to deploy on cloud. The partnership between nybl and Lenovo allows for the on-premise deployment of AI solutions, providing a distinct competitive advantage. The partnership will also provide opportunities for nybl to expand their AI ecosystem from a solutions perspective, as Alnahhas explains: “Through the partnership with Lenovo, we have been introduced to class-leading AI providers with whom we can partner to increase the capabilities of our ecosystem. We have perfected our platform-as-a-service and solution components, and adding functionality in a modular fashion allows us to give our customers the best-available AI ecosystem through a cost-effective model.” The partnership has already begun to bear fruit, supporting the deployment of an oil and gas solution on Lenovo Edge servers, and a comprehensive AI-enabled security solution for facilities totalling 750,000m2. In line with its work to support the UN SDG goals, nybl has also leveraged its AI using Lenovo Edge AI servers, managing air quality, energy usage and security to promote healthier, safer and more efficient facilities. Lenovo Edge AI is used to adapt the final product to the area-specific conditions of the individual user and to lower power consumption. Lenovo’s Edge servers are packaged as a full plug-and-play solution, which removes the need for a rack and auxiliary system setup.
