Benu Networks, the company transforming the service provider network edge, today announced that their SD-Edge platform has been named by the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) to the shortlist for the multi-operator OpenBNG RFI released earlier this year.

The RFI, jointly produced by BT, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, and Vodafone, shortlisted those companies whose solutions met the requirements defined for a next generation Broadband Network Gateway (BNG). The selection was made after an exhaustive and detailed evaluation of the responses to the OpenBNG RFI which contained nearly 2,000 requirements across routing, BNG capabilities, and provider edge MPLS services.

“Benu is extremely proud to have our SD-Edge platform named to the shortlist for such an important initiative by this esteemed group of service providers,It is validation of our efforts to provide network edge technology so service providers can deliver innovative services, improve customer experience, and simultaneously lower total cost of ownership.”

Ajay Manuja, CEO of Benu Networks

“With global demand for bandwidth growing, our fixed networks are more critical than ever,” said Rafael Cantó Palancar, co-chair of the TIP Fixed Broadband Project Group. “Benu Networks brings valuable support and expertise in this domain, and we look forward to working with them on test and validation activities during the next phases of the project.”

The OpenBNG initiative, part of the TIP Fixed Broadband (FiBr) Project Group, is a significant example of industry consensus to taking an innovative approach to wireline network infrastructure, which underpins 100% of Internet traffic including the backhaul for 5G mobile connections.

The Benu SD-Edge platform is already broadly deployed across five continents and supports a variety of network functions including Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), Wi-Fi Access Gateway (WAG), Trusted WAG (TWAG), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Gateway, and 5G Access Gateway Function (AGF). As part of the TIP selection process, Benu will move into the test and validation phase in the first half of 2022.

Fast and efficient data centre design

As we create more data, we need more reliable, efficient data centres, which can be designed and built cheaper and faster. Aurecon took up the challenge to create a data centre configurator that would reduce design time to 3 months and standardise and optimise that design to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.

Simulations Plus Announces the Release of DILIsym X Beta

Simulations Plus | January 16, 2023

Simulations Plus, Inc. recently announced that its DILIsym Services (DSS) division released DILIsym® version X (DSX) Beta, the latest iteration of its flagship quantitative systems toxicology (QST) software for predicting and investigating drug-induced liver injury (DILI). DILIsym modeling aids vital drug development decisions by prevising the potential DILI risk of new drug candidates. The modeling also identifies the biochemical events that contribute to DILI caused by a medicine and can thus predict specific subgroups of patients who are more likely to get DILI from that drug. DILIsym modeling information helps guide go/no-go decisions on big drug development projects, potentially averting the terrible financial impacts of failed clinical trials or better offering reassurance that DILI will not be an insurmountable barrier to FDA approval. Over the past 12 years, the DILIsym Services division has coordinated the DILI-sim Initiative, a public-private partnership that helped guide the development of the DILIsym software package. Some of the substantial updates for DSX include: A complete software redesign that includes command line and graphical interface options and server/cloud computing capability (HPGL) Four new exemplar compounds included with varying clinical presentations: PF-04895162 (Generaux 2019) Efavirenz Anastrozole Tamoxifen Two new SimCohorts that include variability in susceptibility to liver injury and biomarker-related parameters (ALT and bilirubin) About Simulations Plus Simulations Plus, Inc. is a leading drug discovery/development software developer and preclinical and clinical pharmacometric consulting services provider for regulatory submissions and quantitative systems pharmacology models for drug-induced liver, kidney, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Its software is licensed and applied to drug research by major pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and consumer goods companies as well as regulatory agencies worldwide. With its subsidiaries, Cognigen, DILIsym Services, and Lixoft, Simulations Plus offers solutions that bridge machine learning, physiologically based pharmacokinetics, quantitative systems pharmacology/toxicology, and population PK/PD modeling approaches.
