Smarsh recognizes that communications data contains information critical not only to compliance teams but businesses at large. Through its continued partnership with AWS and leveraging AI-based innovations like Amazon Bedrock, Smarsh will further accelerate:
Best-in-Class Risk Detection: The next generation of Smarsh’s risk-detection catalog will apply the latest transformer-based technologies to identify a wider range of risks more quickly. This includes new risk scenarios and the ability to detect risks in multiple languages.Compliance Automation: Generative AI capabilities to enable firms to quickly sift through the noise to find the signal intelligence in their communications.Supercharging Investigations: Empowering investigators with robust insights including from embedded AI, interactive visualizations, and in-app translation.These innovations build upon Smarsh’s next-generation platform on AWS, which provides enhanced security, performance and scalability with the capability to ingest billions of messages per month while achieving data migration speeds of up to 37 terabytes per day. In one example, Smarsh helped a customer consolidate 13 individual archives thanks to high ingestion and indexing speeds. The partnership has also led to the archiving of more than 2 million Microsoft Teams users and the monthly ingestion of billions of messages.
This long-standing partnership has enabled Smarsh to advance its global scale and intelligence capabilities by leveraging AWS’s extensive portfolio of cloud services, including industry-leading compute, containers, machine learning, and AI technologies. Smarsh is actively exploring a variety of new workflows powered by Amazon SageMaker to support compliance requirements for hundreds of financial services organizations globally and is also exploring Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q Generative AI capabilities for deeper predictive intelligence.   
“Generative AI is delivering intelligence that is helping financial services organizations to better serve customers, enhance security, and drive deeper business insights,” said Scott Mullins, General Manager of Financial Services at AWS. “Using AWS and Smarsh, financial institutions can now use generative AI to drive more data insights that will help automate compliance and enhance risk detection to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.”

New Carbon Footprint Reporting Delivers Unmatched Insights, Optimizing Sustainability and Performance
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperview, the leading cloud-based data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platform, today unveiled a suite of groundbreaking features set to transform data center management through detailed measurement and comprehensive sustainability tools.

At the heart of this is Hyperview’s new carbon footprint reporting system, providing granular insights that surpass traditional location-based methods. The initial offering provides location and rack-level carbon footprint reporting, with future releases set to include carbon footprint reporting down to the asset level. This phased approach enables a level of detailed analysis previously unseen in the industry, allowing for more informed, impactful operational decisions. By offering a holistic view of a data center’s environmental impact, from equipment performance to overall energy consumption, Hyperview is setting a new standard for sustainability management in the digital infrastructure sector.
“The timing of this release is crucial”, says President and CEO Jad Jebara. “As the data center industry faces mounting pressure to address its environmental impact. Data centers currently consume 1.5% of the global energy supply and emit 59 million metric tonnes of CO2 annually. Without significant intervention, experts project this consumption could skyrocket to 8% by 2030. Hyperview’s solutions enable targeted reduction strategies, addressing inefficiencies in IT equipment management and providing detailed emissions analysis.”
Key Highlights:
Phased Reporting Implementation: Initial offering includes location and rack-level carbon footprint reporting, with asset-level insights coming in future releases.Asset-Level Analysis: Enables impactful decision-making through detailed equipment, material, and power data.Predictive Capabilities: Offers current data and future predictions, surpassing competitors’ reliance on historical information.Cost-Effective Solution: Eliminates need for additional professional services through automated data collection and presentation.Regulatory Compliance: Assists in navigating evolving regulations (SB 253, CSRD, EED) while improving ESG performance.Comprehensive Sustainability Tools:Carbon footprint tracking and managementUnlocking stranded power and cooling capacityMonitoring energy usage efficiency and kilowatt hours at rack-levelSetting rack-level thresholds for power and temperatureMonitoring temperature, Delta-T, and humidity”Hyperview’s precision in digital infrastructure management is akin to diagnosing a specific medical condition rather than broadly identifying an illness,” continues Jebara “While competitors might broadly identify issues, Hyperview pinpoints specific causes, enabling our clients to make targeted improvements, significantly reducing their carbon footprint and operational costs.”
These features allow clients to gain a detailed understanding of their energy consumption and identify areas for improvement, contributing to significant carbon footprint reductions. The platform’s detailed data helps clients understand their current situation and make accurate future predictions.
With this advanced DCIM suite, Hyperview reaffirms its position as a leader in data center management solutions, offering unparalleled tools for sustainability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
