Mirantis delivers production grade OpenStack for some of the largest scale customers globally.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Open Infrastructure Foundation (OpenInfra Foundation) announced today that Mirantis, providing organizations with total control over their strategic infrastructure using open-source software, has renewed its commitment to the global community by becoming a Gold Member. Mirantis is also a Platinum Sponsor of OpenInfra Summit Asia, September 3–4 in Suwon, South Korea.

Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK) is seeing accelerated adoption as organizations seek to meet digital sovereignty and security requirements and look for cost-effective alternatives to options like VMware.

Based in Campbell, Calif, Mirantis empowers developers and innovators by automating the discovery, integration and operation of the cloud and open source technologies. Long an open source advocate, Mirantis is a pioneer in the OpenInfra Foundation’s flagship project, OpenStack, having contributed to OpenStack since the Cactus release in 2011. Mirantis still works with and on upstream OpenStack projects—some of which the company created—adding features, fixing bugs and hardening.

Mirantis also has been a long-time supporter of the OpenInfra Foundation since it was created as the OpenStack Foundation in 2012. Mirantis CEO Alex Freedland served on the Foundation’s board for three years. Mirantis is the administrator of the Certified OpenStack Administrator (COA) exam on behalf of the OpenInfra Foundation and has offered vendor-agnostic OpenStack training to more than 40,000 students.

“Mirantis is a major OpenStack innovator and the first to use containers to deliver a scalable OpenStack control plane,” said Randy Bias, vice president of Open Source Strategy & Technology at Mirantis. “Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK) is seeing accelerated adoption as organizations seek to meet digital sovereignty and security requirements and look for cost-effective alternatives to options like VMware. As a Gold Member, we look forward to expanding even further our contributions to the OpenInfra community.”

Mirantis launched MOSK version 24.2 last month, with a Dynamic Resource Balancer (DRB), developed by Mirantis for contribution to OpenStack upstream. DRB automates workload distribution to solve hotspot and “noisy neighbor” problems and is comparable to VMware’s Distributed Resource Scheduler. Mirantis is the first to implement this capability for OpenStack without complex dependencies on other services.

“Mirantis has played an integral role in OpenStack and the OpenInfra Foundation since 2011 and 2012, respectively, and from the company’s founding it has led the way as an innovator in the open infrastructure marketplace,” said Thierry Carrez, general manager of the OpenInfra Foundation. “We are delighted with their Gold Member commitment and are excited to see how the company’s expanded engagement in the community will spark more innovation and progress — in the software projects themselves, in community collaboration and in ecosystem growth.”

Gold Members of the OpenInfra Foundation now include 99Cloud Inc., Bloomberg, Canonical, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Cleura, Deutsche Telekom, Mirantis, H3C Technologies Co. Ltd., Red Hat and ZTE. Platinum Members of the OpenInfra Foundation include Ant Group, Ericsson, Huawei, Microsoft, Okestro and Wind River.

“What If We Had This in 2020?” Data Viz 4 Good Bridges the Fortune 100 Data Gap for the Social Sector

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Data Viz 4 Good (DV4G) today announced the launch of its ImpactIQ platform, a breakthrough SaaS solution transforming how the social sector visualizes mission-critical data.

For founders Tyra Jean and Vanessa Francesca Ortega, both Ronald E. McNair Baccalaureate Scholars, the mission began with a pivotal question: “What if we had Data Viz 4 Good at Syracuse University back in 2020?”

CEO Tyra Jean—a former Public Policy & International Affairs Fellow at UC Berkeley and current D.S.W. candidate at the University of Southern California—developed the concept after bridging two vastly different worlds. “I worked as a data consultant for Fortune 100 companies and saw firsthand the massive gap in data infrastructure across the nonprofit sector,” said Jean. “We’re bringing enterprise-grade technology to the organizations that need it most.”

This vision, combined with the duo’s technical pedigree, has positioned them as emerging leaders in the next generation of AI-powered social infrastructure and frontrunners for Forbes’ 30 Under 30.

The platform’s technical moat is anchored by the COO Vanessa Francesca Ortega — Posse Alumni, SU Remembrance Scholar, and Newhouse’s Dean Branham Scholar. She is the founder & CEO of Civic Trust Systems, the core operating system powering municipal-scale AI platforms, including HellogovAI Inc.

“ImpactIQ is built on infrastructure originally designed to power secure, large-scale government service delivery,” said Ortega. “Through Civic Trust Systems, I developed the AI delivery model and user experience architecture that enables platforms like Hellogov. We are now applying that same level of security and privacy to the social sector.”

By leveraging Civic Trust Systems, DV4G delivers government-grade security, privacy-first data handing, and scalable AI intelligence— without the complexity of cost of traditional enterprise systems.

As a free resource for the sector, the founders co-host a DV4G Podcast on Instagram (@DataViz4GoodHQ). The next episode explores how ImpactIQ’s privacy-first architecture not only protects sensitive community data but also strengthens grant readiness and institutional trust.

DV4G is currently scaling ImpactIQ for global researchers, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations seeking to modernize how they measure and communicate impact.

Pirelli further strengthens its commitment to the country. Investment and output expansion details will be communicated in the coming months following the finalization of the development plans

MILAN and WASHINGTON, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pirelli is reinforcing its long-term commitment to the United States with a key step in its product and industrial strategy. The Georgia plant, already dedicated to the most technologically advanced products for the U.S. market—both in the High-Value segment and in Motorsport—will be further enhanced by the production of connected tires featuring Cyber™ Tyre technology. This development highlights the strategic importance of the U.S. for Pirelli’s global growth roadmap, strengthening the company’s integrated industrial and technological presence in the country.

The announcement comes as Pirelli participates in the SelectUSA Investment Summit, the flagship event promoted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, where Cyber™ Tyre is being showcased as a core innovation shaping the future of smart mobility. 

Cyber™ Tyre is the world’s first hardware-and-software system capable of collecting data and information from sensors embedded in tires, processing them through Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms, and, by communicating in real time with the vehicle’s electronics, enabling new functionalities integrated with driving and control systems to enhance the driving experience and increase safety levels, as well as supporting connected infrastructure.

In a highly advanced market such as the United States, where digital and smart mobility solutions are rapidly expanding, Cyber™ Tyre represents a distinctive competitive advantage for Pirelli.

At SelectUSA, Cyber™ Tyre was showcased at the Georgia State booth, a particularly meaningful presence given Pirelli’s industrial footprint in the state, where it has been established for more than 20 years.

“The start of Cyber™ Tyre production in our Rome, Georgia plant is a significant milestone for Pirelli in this country,” said Claudio Zanardo, CEO of Pirelli North America. “It reflects our commitment to bringing advanced technologies like Cyber™ Tyre closer to the market, further strengthening our industrial footprint and innovation capabilities in the United States.”

To further enhance the role of Rome as a high-tech production site, Pirelli is finalizing the introduction of the latest version of the MIRS (Modular Integrated Robotized System) production process. It will be the most advanced manufacturing process for high-end, premium production within the entire Pirelli Group, and is exclusive to the Georgia factory. The process further enhances robotized production capabilities, increasing productivity, flexibility, and quality.

It is a highly digitalized system that enables a direct link between product design and its industrial application.

This development lays the groundwork for growth in Pirelli’s production capacity in Rome, an integral part of the Group’s industrial development plans, and will further strengthen Pirelli’s presence in the United States—one of its most important and strategic markets.

The Rome, Georgia, plant specializes in high-value tire production for the North American market. It also hosts a dedicated R&D center, further strengthening its role in technological development and product innovation.

The facility is recognized for its responsible sourcing practices, including the use of FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®)-certified natural rubber, underscoring the company’s broader environmental commitment across its supply chain.
