The DGX-1, featuring eight powerful GPUs, delivers four-times faster training speeds than other GPU-based systems but is not designed to store data. As organisations scale up their AI training projects, PNY 3S-2400 flash storage provides the extra capacity they will need. Remote direct memory access (RDMA) technology allows DGX-1 GPUs to access the flash drives directly, ensuring extra-low latency performance and a constant supply of data. www.pny.eu/promo/3S2400/ Cartridge-free laser printer HP Inc. is bringing some of the financial and environmental benefits of business inkjets to the world of toner with the global availability of the HP Neverstop Laser printer. The world’s first cartridge-free toner tank printer comes with up to 5,000 pages worth of toner – seven times more than other laser printers in its class – and can be reloaded with 2.5 times more toner than a typical print cartridge using the HP Toner Reload Kit (see photo). The bottom line is a cost per page of less than 1 cent and a printer with an 84% smaller environmental footprint than standard laser printers. hp.com/neverstop A constant connection Samsung describes its Galaxy Book S as a ‘game-changing device for high- performing users who don’t want to be weighed down by the size and features of traditional laptops’.

In an initiative dubbed CleanedUP, the company is offering to supply UK hospitals, supermarkets, train stations, pharmacies and other shops with hand sanitising stations at cost price. ChargedUp says it is able to produce more than 1,000 units per month and accompanying Alcohol and Non-Alcohol sanitiser. CEO Hugo Tilmouth said: “With the majority of our usual network of pubs, clubs, cafes and shopping centres closing down due to the COVID-19 crisis, we wanted to find a way to use our skills, our resources and our network to help out. We put our heads together – virtually – and CleanedUp was born.” www.cleanedup.green Foldable scanner Epson has announced its first A3 sheetfed scanners for business use. The Epson WorkForce DS-30000 and DS-32000 offer scan speeds of up to 90 pages per minute (180 images per minute with double-sided documents) and support for a wide range of document sizes, from large bound documents to passports. An adjustable chassis allows the DS- 32000 to be used with a traditional vertical feeder in standard mode or with a flat paper path when processing higher volumes. It can even be folded away when not in use, saving space in smaller workspaces. www.epson.co.uk Boxing clever New from AVer Europe, the CB-310 interactive control box helps teachers make the most of existing classroom equipment and engage students with collaboration tools.
