Artificial Intelligence

It is the development and innovations of computer systems to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. A computer program with AI can answer the generic questions it is meant to solve. Programmings in AI can absorb new modifications by putting highly independent pieces of information together. Hence ,even a minute piece of information of program can be modified without affecting its structure.

Applications:

AI has been dominant in various fields such as −

Gaming − AI plays crucial role in strategic games such as chess, poker, tic-tac-toe, etc., where machine can think of large number of possible positions based on heuristic knowledge.

Natural Language Processing − It is possible to interact with the computer that understands natural language spoken by humans.

Expert Systems − There are some applications which integrate machine, software, and special information to impart reasoning and advising. They provide explanation and advice to the users.

Vision Systems − These systems understand, interpret, and comprehend visual input on the computer. For example,

A spying aeroplane takes photographs, which are used to figure out spatial information or map of the areas.

Doctors use clinical expert system to diagnose the patient.

Police use computer software that can recognize the face of criminal with the stored portrait made by forensic artist.

Speech Recognition − Some intelligent systems are capable of hearing and comprehending the language in terms of sentences and their meanings while a human talks to it. It can handle different accents, slang words, noise in the background, change in human’s noise due to cold, etc.

Handwriting Recognition − The handwriting recognition software reads the text written on paper by a pen or on screen by a stylus. It can recognize the shapes of the letters and convert it into editable text.

Intelligent Robots − Robots are able to perform the tasks given by a human. They have sensors to detect physical data from the real world such as light, heat, temperature, movement, sound, bump, and pressure. They have efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge memory, to exhibit intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their mistakes and they can adapt to the new environment.

Our Role in AI:

The ABSI team has become an expert in developing embedded solutions for clean energy, home automation, smart grid systems and machine-to-machine networks.Our areas of expertise includes the Speech Recognition System, Remote sensors, Smart Energy Gateways (SEG) and are planning more innovative AI technologies which are going to come soon in the real world applications.

Cloud Technology

Cloud technology is the consequence of the evolution and adoption of existing technologies and paradigms. The goal of cloud computing is to allow users to take benefit from all of these technologies, without the need for deep knowledge about or expertise with each one of them. The cloud aims to cut costs, and helps the users focus on their core business instead of being impeded by IT obstacles.The main enabling technology for cloud computing is virtualization. Virtualization software separates a physical computing device into one or more "virtual" devices, each of which can be easily used and managed to perform computing tasks. With operating system–level virtualization essentially creating a scalable system of multiple independent computing devices, idle computing resources can be allocated and used more efficiently. Virtualization provides the agility required to speed up IT operations, and reduces cost by increasing infrastructure utilization. Autonomic computing automates the process through which the user can provision resources on-demand. By minimizing user involvement, automation speeds up the process, reduces labor costs and reduces the possibility of human errors.Users routinely face difficult business problems. Cloud computing adopts concepts from Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) that can help the user break these problems into services that can be integrated to provide a solution. Cloud computing provides all of its resources as services, and makes use of the well-established standards and best practices gained in the domain of SOA to allow global and easy access to cloud services in a standardized way

Our Software-defined infrastructure(SDI)

We provide robust SDI solutions across the broadest range of software and hardware platforms—from leading vendors as well as open-source. Whether it’s a move to software-defined compute, storage, or networking, SDI builds agile enterprises ready for cloud innovation. Increasing demands are faced by businesses towards the need for rapid innovation and even better customer experiences. IT needs to deliver efficient, agile services in new ways to meet those expectations. Fortunately, the technology barriers that once kept businesses from building scalable data centers are rapidly falling away. SDI paves the way for enterprise clouds that are optimized to accommodate traditional and cloud-native applications with ease. With SDI-enabled clouds, our most strategic on-premises workloads are managed with ease while gaining a seamless pathway to a hybrid cloud environment as business needs change. SDI delivers a huge number of positive impacts for your business. Legacy enterprise storage systems are a key area for transformation with software-defined storage. So are enterprise networks, which can benefit greatly from virtualization and a software-defined architecture that allows for more fine-grained network security policies. Highly virtualized businesses will want to explore cloud orchestration capabilities in SDI solutions for greater levels of programmatic controls and automation. This results in high-functioning, efficient, and agile data center ready to drive cloud innovation for our business.
