The 2022 Innovation Radar praises Nubificus' work on Serverless Computing

Aug 22, 2022 2 min read

Nubificus LTD has been identified by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar as a high potential innovator for their work on Serverless computing. Specifically, EC’s IR identified the Serverless Framework that Nubificus LTD develops as having a high potential for innovation. The lightweight serverless framework for the Edge is being developed as part of the 5G-COMPLETE Horizon 2020-funded project.

The framework to provide Fast, Secure & Efficient Serverless for the Edge was assessed by the IR (https://www.innoradar.eu) as technology that addresses the needs of existing markets and falls under IR’s exploring category. This category prizes organizations’ initiative to take steps to actively explore value creation opportunities, commercialization and the pursuit of concrete market-oriented ideas that advance technology development processes.

5G-COMPLETE

The 5G-COMPLETE project aims to revolutionize the 5G architecture, by efficiently combining compute and storage resource functionality over a unified ultra-high capacity converged digital/analog Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) Radio Access Network (RAN). By employing the recent advances in Ethernet fronthauling introduced by the eCPRI standard as a launching point, 5G-COMPLETE introduces and combines a series of key technologies under a unique architectural proposition. Nubificus particular focus is on the rapid and cost-efficient service deployment through lightweight virtualization mechanisms and unikernel technology.

The unique systems software components stemmed from the project are leveraged to explore disruptive technologies for Serverless computing and extracted the essential features to allow workloads to be deployed and executed securely, at the Edge, supporting hardware acceleration functionality.

Innovation Radar

The Innovation Radar is a European Commission initiative that identifies high potential innovations and innovators in EU-funded research and innovation projects. It bases its selection on information and data gathered by independent experts who review research and innovation projects funded by the European Commission.

The goal of the Innovation Radar platform is to show citizens the scientific and technological advances that take place thanks to the Commission’s funding. By providing greater access to such information, the platform hopes to encourage the development of a dynamic ecosystem of incubators, entrepreneurs, funding agencies and investors that can help get EU-funded innovations to the market faster.
