Turing Pi 2 – compact edge clusters with 32 GB RAM and new Raspberry Pi CM4 support.


Turing Pi 2

Turing Machines Inc., a company that builds compact clusters for edge computing, announced Turing Pi 2 – a new version of the cluster board that supports the recently introduced Raspberry Pi compute modules 4. The new compute modules come in 32 flavors with up to 8 GB of RAM including Bluetooth and WiFi options, and with a price tag starting at $25. The new Turing Pi 2 is a mini ITX 4 nodes cluster with up to 32 GB RAM, Mini PCIe, SATA III, and a Layer-2 Managed Switch with VLAN support. This is a huge difference in performance and I/O options compared to the previous Turing Pi version.

While working on the new cluster design, the company was guided by the following principles, Turing Machines CEO Constantin Alexandrov said, “We wanted to create a minimal cluster unit with options to connect external storage and extension boards like 5G modem. Next, we wanted the cluster unit to be cost-efficient and easy to scale by connecting and forming larger cluster federations. The speed of scale should be higher than connecting regular computers on the network and cheaper than the typical server hardware. Another thing, the minimum cluster units should be compact enough, mobile, energy-efficient, cost-effective, and easy to maintain.”

One of the most exciting updates in the Turing Pi 2 are 2x mini PCIe (Gen 2) and 2x SATA (Gen 3) ports. The first two nodes are exposed to mini PCI express ports, the third node exposed to 2-ports 6Gbps SATA controller. This allows connecting external SSDs to the cluster and using the network file system within the cluster to access the drives from all nodes. Connecting a network card to the 1st node via mini PCIe can give an extra 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and can make the 1st node perform as a router for other nodes.

Another interesting approach is that with the Turing Pi 2, the company is implementing a unified compute module interface. This will allow connecting compute modules from other manufacturers and also combine different purpose modules to solve specific tasks like machine learning at the edge.

Use cases

Edge infrastructure for hosting applications & services

Turing Pi 2 is designed as a minimal cluster block for consumer / commercial-grade edge computing infrastructure. It gives an affordable and convenient way to migrate applications that are more cost-effective and practical to host at the edge. Cluster blocks can be linked together and form larger clusters. This can be done gradually without interrupting already established processes. Turing V2 can easily be implemented into the existing clusters (cloud or on-premises) and shared using Kubernetes RBAC.

CI/CD

The Turing Pi 2 cluster is architecturally similar to the AWS Graviton instances. The CM4 processor uses the ARMv8 architecture which allows building images and applications for AWS Graviton 1 and 2 instances. If you have existing local or cloud ARM clusters, the Turing Pi cluster can be used for compilation, testing, and continuous deployment to the production clusters.

The Turing Pi clusters already raised attention within the organizations like Red Hat, Rancher (SUSE), Toyota Connected, Sony, Electrolux, University of Berkeley, University of Santa Cruz, and others. The Turing Pi 2 opens a whole range of a new edge computing application and opportunities.

Virtual Data Room Provider Firmex Unveils Risk Reduced Redaction for the Entire Diligence Process


Firmex, a global provider of virtual data rooms where more deals, diligence, and compliance gets done, today announced the launch of Firmex Redact, its integrated redaction tool that enables professionals involved in due diligence and compliance to securely redact personally identifiable and sensitive information—all without leaving a Firmex virtual data room.

Now, more than ever, documents used in due diligence contain sensitive and confidential information in need of redaction. Recently introduced rules and regulations surrounding personally identifiable information (PII) such as GDPR require PII to be removed, prior to being shared with external parties throughout the deal process. Firmex Redact lets professionals in compliance and due diligence easily hide, contain, and protect information to minimize organizational risk and avoid millions of dollars worth of penalties for non-compliance.

“With Firmex Redact, we’re making the time-consuming redaction process faster, more streamlined, and secure, so that dealmakers can focus on what they do best—helping their clients close the deal,” said Joel Lessem, CEO of Firmex.

Key Features and Benefits


  • Easier Redaction in Your Virtual Data Room: Firmex Redact is fully integrated with Firmex’s virtual data rooms, making any new or already uploaded documents redactable, with redaction activity you can track along the way.
  • Control Who Can Redact: Firmex’s virtual data room user management lets you control who can access, redact, edit, unredact, preview, and view redacted documents at any time, so you can better collaborate on redactions with your team with a greater level of transparency.
  • Peace of Mind with Virtual Data Room Security: Using Firmex Redact ensures that documents in the virtual data room stay encrypted and safe with our multiple layers of security, avoiding the risk of downloading files and performing redactions in offline tools.
  • Streamline Deal Stages: Quickly and easily remove redactions by individual lines, or remove all redactions with a single click, as you progress through your deal.
  • Work More Efficiently: Drag and draw with ease with the Add Redaction function, while always being able to see exactly what’s being redacted. All changes are automatically saved in real time.
  • Save Time and Eliminate Errors: Search any PDF with optical character recognition, so that search words are automatically identified and highlighted for you to redact.
  • Simplify Document Management: View document versions and redaction status to identify draft redactions in progress, as well as already redacted published versions.

“By centralizing the entire redaction workflow within our virtual data rooms, our customers will see their time spent redacting minimized, while safeguarding PII and confidential information in diligence documents,” said Mark Wright, Firmex’s Chief Commercial Officer.

Datalink Networks Introduces Innovative Student Technology Internship Program


“This is an incredible opportunity to help our community by teaching valuable work skills and also to help train the next crop of future IT professionals.”

Datalink Networks is collaborating with New Horizons, the world’s largest independent IT training company, to introduce a groundbreaking student internship program. The initial pilot program will be executed in conjunction with Birmingham Community Charter High School (BCCHS) and will be the first of its kind for all entities involved.

The internship aims to help students develop a comprehensive technology skill set while giving students valuable work experience in the ever competitive job market. Datalink Networks and New Horizons will provide online technology training while all student work will be performed on BCCHS campus.

Training for the internship will consist of a 5 hour specialized Microsoft Teams curriculum and a semester long soft skills course covering cyber safety and employability. Training will culminate in an online certification exam. Once certified, interns will provide Microsoft Teams application support to fellow students and teachers.

Hiring will place an emphasis on students enrolled in Engineering or AP Computer Science courses. If applicants exceed the available spots, priority will be given based on proximity to graduation and alignment of personal and professional goals.

Once selected, students will enter into the soft skills training then to the Microsoft Teams Training Program. Certified students will then join the BCCHS Teams Helpdesk, where they will provide support locally in the classroom and in digital learning environments.

Lindsey Surendranath, the Special Projects Officer at BCCHS, stated, “The primary goal for this program is to fill the gap we currently see between academic preparation in high school and what students need for future employment.” Surendranath continued, “Students receive excellent academic preparation, but we are working hard to ensure they are equipped with life skills and professional skills/soft skills so they can navigate the world of work.”

Datalink Networks is also very excited about the potential of this program. CEO, Don Wisdom, stated, “This is an incredible opportunity to help our community by teaching valuable work skills and also to help train the next crop of future IT professionals.”
