Dell and TUS collaborate for new research project to advance sustainability and healthcare
The new AI platform, powered by Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers, will help researchers gain real-time insights into large datasets
THE Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) has joined forces with Dell Technologies to develop a new AI platform that will advance research in cybersecurity, sustainability, healthcare and robotics.
TUS established the Software Research Institute (SRI) with the goal to develop a leading national research lab, focused on driving innovation in the fields of cybersecurity, cloud-edge computing, robotic control, smart agriculture and healthcare.
The new AI platform, powered by Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers, will help researchers gain real-time insights into large datasets and develop advanced AI models that power their research.
It will also be leveraged to support several research projects led by Horizon Europe, the European Union’s key funding program for research and innovation.

This includes projects such as ResilMesh, which focuses on the cyber resilience of critical infrastructure and digital services through tools and mechanisms that defend against sophisticated threats and attacks.
Dr Yuansong Qiao, senior research fellow, SRI at TUS said: “Harnessing the power of AI has become increasingly important to advancing research in critical areas such as cybersecurity and robotics, which require analysis of increasingly large data sets. That’s why it’s crucial that TUS has the right infrastructure to manage the intensive workloads of advanced AI-powered research.”
