EDITOR’ S NOTE
MARK BOWEN, EDITOR
H ello and welcome to the latest edition of Intelligent Data Centres. This month’ s cover story, which can be found on page 49, features Yu Yamaguchi, CTO at Turing.
Turing, the Japanese Artificial Intelligence company known for its pioneering work in full driving automation, has chosen Digital Realty’ s NRT10 data centre in Japan to support the development of its cutting-edge computation platform.
Yamaguchi tells us how the collaboration with Digital Realty has been instrumental in accelerating the deployment of powerful AI systems for self-driving technology.
“ As the global race to develop full driving automation systems accelerates, securing computing resources quickly is crucial,” he says.“ Digital Realty’ s high-performance and flexible data centre enabled us to swiftly deploy a powerful GPU cluster that delivers maximum performance in a short period of time, further accelerating our AI development for full driving automation.”
“ I believe that a successful manager needs to possess effective communication and listening skills, and I try to apply these skills whether I’ m managing or being managed,” he said.
“ In addition, I strongly believe in the importance of showing respect to others, which includes valuing others’ beliefs, contributions and ideas. I’ ve seen firsthand that this results in increased productivity, improved employee and team morale, and helps reduce turnover.
“ Well respected employees are happier, more productive and tend to work harder with a greater sense of pride in their work. You can never go wrong when it comes to listening, communicating and showing respect to others.” You can read the full article by turning to p68.
