Strategic collaboration facilitates business for companies inside and outside of China, the world's largest online market
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cloudflare (NYSE: NET), the company with a mission to help build a better Internet, and JD Cloud & AI, the intelligent technology provider of JD.com, China’s largest retailer, today announced a strategic partnership to provide a faster and more secure Internet for global companies doing business in China, and for Chinese businesses reaching consumers globally. This collaboration joins Cloudflare’s integrated global cloud platform with JD Cloud & AI’s extensive China network, infrastructure, and services—offering a seamless experience for businesses looking to reach global audiences. JD Cloud & AI is one of JD.com’s core business units, focused on technology services that build on its delivery and retail network. It delivers public, private and hybrid cloud services through more than 300 product offerings. Bringing together Cloudflare’s intelligent global platform with JD Cloud & AI’s robust infrastructure and services inside China will enable enterprises to seamlessly and securely deploy cloud-based firewall, distributed denial of service (DDoS) mitigation, content delivery, and DNS services worldwide—at the edge and without any need for hardware or on-premise boxes. Today, Cloudflare’s global network spans 200 cities in more than 90 countries and regions, including 17 cities in mainland China—a market Cloudflare first entered in 2015. Over the next three years, this strategic collaboration will expand Cloudflare’s global availability across 150 additional data centers in mainland China, growing the company’s data centers in the region by 700 percent. “Companies across the globe have had to re-think how they run their businesses and reach customers especially with the global pandemic that has impacted every market. Together, Cloudflare and JD Cloud & AI are partnering to give businesses even more opportunity to be secure, fast, and reliable with one integrated global network,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO, Cloudflare. “We’re minimizing the technical and logistical hurdles companies face when looking to do business in and out of China. I’m proud to partner with JD Cloud & AI to continue to offer tools to help businesses win in the Chinese market and the rest of the world.” “I'm thrilled to establish this strategic collaboration with Cloudflare,” said Dr. Bowen Zhou, President of JD Cloud & AI. “Cloudflare’s mission of ‘helping to build a better Internet,’ closely aligns with JD Cloud & AI’s commitment to provide the best service possible to global partners. Leveraging JD.com’s rich experience across vast business scenarios, as well as its logistics and technological capabilities, we believe that this collaboration will provide valuable services that will transform how business is done for users inside and outside of China.” Cloudflare offers a truly integrated global network, giving customers a secure, fast, and reliable experience for visitors inside and outside of China. Cloudflare customers can enable their China network within a few clicks, and without changing a single line of code. Once enabled, their visitors within China will be served from data centers inside of China, while visitors outside of China will still be served from the nearest Cloudflare data center—shaving off seconds of latency for their applications in China without any additional configuration changes. As the world’s second largest market, China is important for global companies like Garmin. Headquartered in Switzerland, the company relies on a world-class experience for its customers around the world, including those in mainland China. “Before Cloudflare, our customers in China experienced a significant lag-time for updates to their wearable products,” said Aaron Dearinger, Edge Architect, Garmin International. “After becoming a Cloudflare customer, our devices updated much faster in China. This was an important enhancement to the user experience for our customers.” China accounts for 21 percent of the 3.8 billion global Internet users—making it the largest online market today. Austin, Texas-based National Instruments Corporation, a producer of automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software, has invested heavily in China for the last 20 years. “Approximately one-third of our Internet traffic originates from Asia and a majority of this traffic is from China,” said Robert Cope, IT Architect at National Instruments. “Having a highly secure experience inside of China, with all the performance benefits that Cloudflare brings, is a key reason why we chose Cloudflare. This has been especially beneficial since most of our origin servers are in Austin, Texas. We’re excited about Cloudflare’s continued growth in the China market and excited to see what’s next.” To learn more about how your organization can be fast and more reliable in China, visit:About Cloudflare Cloudflare, Inc.

Teledyne e2v Expands Its Emerald Image Sensor Family With New Compact Global Shutter 3.2MP Sensor29/4/2020 GRENOBLE, France, April 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies [NYSE: TDY] company and global innovator of imaging solutions, announces its new Emerald 3.2 Megapixel CMOS image sensor, specially designed to tackle the challenges of emerging applications such as security, drones and embedded vision, as well as traditional machine vision.
With its 2.8 µm global shutter pixel and innovative design, the new 3.2M sensor shares all of the characteristics of the Emerald sensor series: superior low-noise performance, compact format, easy integration and a wide range of embedded features. The sensor has been designed in an ultra-compact light package format with low power to address the challenge of optimizing SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost). The device also features a MIPI interface, that provides a direct connection to low-cost MIPI ISPs and a central optical center that helps to minimize the camera size. Its small pixel enables the sensor to fit within compact and cost-effective S-mount optics. In addition, Emerald 3.2M is pin-to-pin and optically compatible with Emerald 2M and Emerald 5M, so that multiple resolutions are supported from one single design, saving cost. The Emerald 3.2M sensor is available in two different package options (ceramic LGA or organic fan-out BGA) to either optimize size and cost or prioritize robustness in harsh conditions. It offers versatility in terms of Chief Ray Angle (CRA) as well to ensure a perfect match with different kinds of optics. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=37254 KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 -- Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Ltd (MHPS), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group has announced its new company name, Mitsubishi Power Ltd, and will also adopt a new corporate brand logo.

PHOENIX & LONDON, April 24 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- MedAire, the world's leading provider of in-flight medical advice and assistance to commercial airlines –announced the launch of new pre-flight COVID-19 passenger screening services to enhance safety measures for air travel. MedAire is the first and foremost experienced provider of medical advisory services to more than 150 airlines worldwide. For more than 35 years, MedAire has helped airlines manage passenger medical issues – both in the air and at the gate. The company is expanding their existing solutions to now include COVID-19 health screening. This new service complements a well-proven medical advisory process the company already has in place with airlines to help manage passenger medical issues; including pre-flight fitness to fly assessments, ground based medical assistance for in-flight medical issues and cabin crew medical training. The new screening service is an additional step to help mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 via air travel and help restore confidence in flying, for air travel today and in the future. The screening is conducted by on-site medical professionals prior to check-in at the origin city, and consists of a questionnaire for contact history, and symptom screening including temperature. This screening approach is considered the industry best practice today, and will evolve as additional options to screen, test or vaccinate become available. MedAire is working with airline partners in a phased approach to develop solutions and, to date, the company has implemented screening programmes in locations including London, Lima, Hong Kong and Los Angeles. While passenger screening services are not universally required today, some airlines are beginning to implement such programmes. This practice is evolving as a precautionary measure to protect passenger safety, as much as to screen travellers prior to entry at their destination, as a requirement of the receiving country. “Screening is what the industry will need to do now to make people feel safe to travel again until a vaccine is available,” said Dr. Paulo Alves, Global Medical Director Aviation Health at MedAire. “The situation is rapidly evolving, and the screening criteria may change as we learn more about the virus and when new testing options become available that can help quickly determine who is safe to travel. We are working closely with the governmental health agencies of individual countries and are aligned with guidelines from multiple agencies including the WHO, CDC, IATA and the FAA, as well as our airline partners, to help develop and implement best practice solutions with the goal to ensure the safety of passengers and crew when flying.” “MedAire has the unique aviation medical expertise, as well as longstanding industry partnerships that position us well to play a significant role in the fight against COVID-19 and other emerging pandemic threats, with the goal to help people safely return to travel,” said Bill Dolny, CEO of MedAire. “Health screening, like security screening post 9-11, is likely to become the standard for air travel. MedAire is ready to support the air travel industry with solutions as their needs evolve.” MedAire, an International SOS company, has a global footprint and access to a worldwide network of medical providers & resources, enabling access to trained medical staff for on-location screening that complements their existing well-proven solutions. The screening process has been developed in line with IATA best practices, can easily adapt to an airline’s protocols, and considers evolving travel restrictions at specific origin and destination locations.
