Eurotech (company)

The concept of pervasive or ubiquitous computing, involves miniaturisation and the distribution in the environment of intelligent devices and their possibility of communicating.

[1] 1999 Eurotech started to co-operate with INFN (Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics) for the study and implementation of its third generation of Array Processor Experiment supercomputers, called APEmille.

2001 The private equity fund First Gen-e of Meliorbanca Spa and Friulia, development finance company of the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia Region, invested 3,7 million Euros.

It presented the first prototype of the wrist-worn computer Zypad at the 2006 Soldier Technologies Conference in London, and winning the prize for the most innovative product.

2008 The company presented Janus, the new generation of supercomputers born from an Italian-Spanish collaboration involving several universities and research institutes.

At the International Supercomputer Conference (ISC) 2009 in Hamburg, Eurotech unveils Aurora, a revolutionary HPC system that sets a record in footprint reduction and dramatically cuts TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) for installations of every size, with an energy saving of up to 60% due to a direct liquid cooling system.

2010 Eurotech announces the introduction of Aurora Au-5600, the "green" supercomputer with liquid cooling, based on the Intel Xeon 5600 processor.

From its headquarters in Mission Viejo, California, the company has worked in the embedded computer market since 1981, especially in the VME, VPX and CPCI boards sectors.

This list provides a guide of companies that make the difference in the interconnection of devices and M2M technologies, selected by the editors of the Connected World magazine.

Eurotech and IBM donate the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol to the Open Source Eclipse Foundation community with the declared intent of creating a new standard for the connectivity of the Internet of Things.

The main European suppliers of HPC technologies such as Allinea, ARM, Bull, Caps Entreprise, Eurotech, ParTec, ST Microelectronics and Xyratex, associated with BSC, CEA, Cineca, Fraunhofer, Forschungszentrum Juelich and LRZ research centers join forces to create a European Technology Platform (PTE), starting from the PROSPECT and Teratec work results.

The Japanese subsidiary Advanet has received a letter of appreciation from the RIKEN and JASRI (Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute) research institutes for its help in creating the XFEL (X-Ray Free Electron Laser) system called "SACLA" (acronym for Spring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron Laser), which became fully operative during 2012.

The annual award program honors visionary applications of information technology promoting positive social, economic and educational change.

2019 Dynatem is re-focused to specialize in the design and manufacture of rugged COTS-based boards and systems for use in defense and aerospace applications.

Eurotech has also a division active in the field of HPCs, which designs, produces and markets high performance computers for extremely demanding applications: these supercomputers are used in the fields of nano and bio-technologies, healthcare, high energy physics and in other applications requiring complex simulations and hence a great computational power.

Eurotech France participates to the United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest corporate citizenship and sustainability initiative.

Advanet products include VME, CompactPCI, PCI and PMC boards for PowerPC and Intel Pentium architectures.

Eurotech has always operated in close connection with the Universities of Milan, Trento, Trieste and Udine, with IRST (Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of the Trentino region), with Sissa (International School of Advanced Studies based in Trieste) and with INFN (Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics).
