ReNESENS Project: Best of Breed in DPU
Processors, Virtualization and Software-defined Technologies to
Enable French and European Digital Independence.
2CRSi (Euronext Paris ISIN code : FR0013341781), a
designer and manufacturer of high-performance energy-efficient
servers, Clever Cloud, a European provider of automation and
optimization solutions for websites and applications hosting,
Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris: ALKAL), a leading provider of
hardware and software technologies for high-performance,
data-centric computing markets, from Cloud to Edge and
Vates, an open source software company specializing in
secure and open source virtualization, are pleased to announce that
the ReNESENS project, led by Vates, has been awarded by the
French AMI Cloud: France 2030 Investment Plan - "Supporting the
supply of solutions for the industry of the future"1. The aim of
ReNESENS is to develop solutions for Cloud and Edge data center
infrastructure around a new class of processors called DPU (Data
Processing Unit) and innovative virtualization and software-defined
technologies.
The speed, complexity and quantity of data handled by data
centers is exploding historically on the Cloud and more recently at
the Edge. New classes of equipment are needed based on new hardware
and software foundations to provide more efficient,
power-optimized, and more open data center infrastructures.
The ReNESENS project is bringing together some of the most
advanced French companies with unique expertise in the new class of
DPU data processors, virtualization software, highly efficient
servers and innovative data center architecture; Vates, Clever
Cloud, Kalray and 2CRSi. The project intends to develop an
innovative and attractive sovereign proposition, for both end users
and the ecosystem of data center players.
Olivier Lambert, President and Founder of Vates, said:
“Data centers are more crucial now than ever before, meaning the
need for innovative and very efficient systems management and
portability. In this regard, virtualization plays a key role;
ReNESENS is a project of strategic importance to develop the next
generation of data centers, both at the core and at the Edge. In
this project, Vates will work closely with its partners to
integrate XCP-ng into Kalray’s DPU architecture and ensure its
stack works well with Clever Cloud’s network tools. It will also
deliver tightly optimized appliances that combine the best of
Kalray, Clever Cloud technologies and 2CSRi’s high-end and Edge
computing hardware solutions.”
Alain Wilmouth, CEO of 2CRSi, said: “Innovation is the
driving force of 2CRSi. Our contribution to the ReNESENS project is
strategic for the group. Working on technology sovereignty is key
to success in a disoriented post-COVID world. This project,
entirely developed in France with our partners Kalray, Clever Cloud
and Vates, will change the course of how we manage and power
infrastructure. This solution is designed to solve two major issues
of our industry; cloud security and energy savings in the data
center environment.”
Éric Baissus, CEO of Kalray, said: “DPU processors are a
game changer for data center infrastructures. They offer a unique
opportunity to build more flexible, scalable, energy-efficient
solutions. As the European DPU leader, we are delighted to work
closely with 2CRSi, Clever Cloud and Vates as part of the ReNESENS
project to build the next generation of data center
infrastructures.”
Quentin Adam, CEO of Clever Cloud, said: “We are pleased
to participate in the ReNESENS project, which will lead to the
emergence of an innovative network traffic management solution, in
both hardware and software, that will improve the technical and
energy efficiency of our infrastructures while reducing costs.
Clever Cloud will bring all its expertise to this initiative and to
its partners 2CRSi, Kalray and Vates. Working together, French
technology players will create tomorrow's Cloud tools.”
The ReNESENS project is structured around 4 main areas:
- DPU and Virtualization: Usage of DPU to improve performance and
power efficiency of virtualization and logical isolation.
- Orchestration: Orchestration with the development of an
isolation system for the container execution environment.
- Software-defined networking and storage: The use of DPUs to
achieve maximum network performance via open source, secure and
high-performance software routing (Reverse Proxy) as well as
storage protocols and services.
- Hardware integration: The use of DPUs within a new generation
of data center equipment.
Lasting 3 years, ReNESENS is a multi-million Euro project, with
the predicted outcome of a complete range of highly innovative
solutions combining hardware and software, enabling customers to
use independent, secure and highly sophisticated appliances for
their data centers.
