ITOps leader expands global footprint through new partnership with QBS Group

Boulder, Colo, July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Automox®, the cloud-native IT operations provider, today announced its expansion into the United Kingdom and Australian markets through a new partnership with QBS Group. Driven by global customer demand for a cloud-native solution that makes it easy to keep every endpoint updated and secure from anywhere in the world, the company also plans to further expand into the Middle East and Singapore.

In a recent survey of global industry professionals, 84% said they rely on five or more endpoint management tools and 60% use more than 10. Realizing this a complex challenge for companies across the world, Automox, in partnership with QBS Group, will bring its modern cloud-native patch management and automated vulnerability remediation to these new markets through resellers and the broader partner community. The expansion also further strengthens Automox’s Rapid7 partnership, as QBS Group is one of Rapid7’s largest partners.

“The UK and Australian markets present a great opportunity for Automox as we continue to grow and expand our customer base,” said Tim Lucas, CEO of Automox. “This move further cements Automox’s position at the forefront of cloud-native ITOps. We have extremely strong relationships with our partner community, including Rapid7, and are excited to broaden that network with our new QBS Group relationship.”

The global expansion marks continued impressive momentum for Automox. Earlier this year, Automox announced the availability of its new Automated Vulnerability Remediation (AVR) solution, synchronized with Rapid7 InsightVM to ingest critical vulnerability data every day, enabling IT Operations teams to automatically remediate vulnerabilities quickly, via patching as well as configuration with Automox Worklets. QBS Group will now have the ability to better serve its global partners and customers with the availability of AVR and Automox’s full suite of ITOps solutions.

Memorandum of Understanding outlines collaboration to support the decarbonization of the steel industry by using disruptive technology and reduce carbon emissions

Zurich, Switzerland, July 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hitachi Energy today announces that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with H2 Green Steel to leverage electrification, digitalization, and hydrogen to support the decarbonization of the steel industry.

H2 Green Steel, a Swedish industrial start-up, is on a mission to accelerate the global steel industry’s greatest technological shift by eliminating almost all of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from the steel production process. It is planning to build its first fossil-free steel plant in Boden, Sweden, alongside a giga scale electrolyzer plant for the production of green hydrogen.

The MoU outlines a collaboration which is built on three (3) pillars: 1) Hitachi Energy’s equity investment in H2 Green Steel; 2) products and services from Hitachi Energy that are needed to construct and improve the electrical infrastructure to power steel production and giga scale electrolyzer plants; 3) green steel to be used in the manufacturing of Hitachi Energy’s products, once H2 Green Steel starts production.

Over the past decade, expanding steel production has increased total energy demand and CO₂ emissions¹, which contributes to about eight percent of the world’s global industrial carbon emissions².

Starting with the plant in Boden, H2 Green Steel will leverage Hitachi Energy’s capabilities to optimize customers’ value chain to plan, build, operate, and maintain the power infrastructure that includes IT and operational technology (OT). The steel production in Boden will use green hydrogen instead of coal in a fully integrated process using end-to-end digitalization, which reduces up to 95 percent CO₂ emissions compared to traditional steelmaking. This will be equivalent to removing 3 million passenger cars per year from road³.

“Achieving carbon-neutrality globally requires efforts from all industries to speed up the energy transition through collaborations,” says Johan Söderström, Head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Hitachi Energy. “This collaboration with H2 Green Steel is a pioneering example of how we are working together and creating additional benefits for our customers. We are supporting H2 Green Steel’s electrification project and at the same time, we are able to secure green steel for our products, which is in line with our Purpose: Advancing a sustainable energy future for all,” he added.

“The partnership we have entered into with Hitachi Energy is further reinforced by an equity investment in H2 Green Steel. The partners we choose to work with need to share our values, to make a real commitment to live up to the Paris Agreement, and to work tightly together to leverage each other’s strengths. With Hitachi Energy we have that, as well as their long history, broad experience, and innovative offerings,” says Henrik Henriksson, CEO of H2 Green Steel.
