Prior to the 2010s, most computing tasks were run through the now-outdated spinning disk storage format. Today, advances such as solid-state drives and the pervasive cloud are expanding the capabilities of high-performance computing to harness the power of artificial intelligence. “Now we are seeing the convergence of AI into HPC, and that brings a challenge ...

The world of enterprise technology moves notoriously fast. Despite the continuous innovation strides in high-performance computing as it exists today, momentum is occurring in parallel to bring forth its next evolution — quantum computing. Quantum computing, in simpler terms, will be another hardware accelerator purpose-built for certain classes of emerging workloads — at least in the ...

A lot has been made of the inordinate share of the global power supply being consumed by data centers and other high-performance computing resources. With sustainability being a major topic in the HPC space, it’s worth analyzing the steps being taken at the enterprise level to ensure that rapid innovation doesn’t create more harm than ...

As high-performance computing components, such as servers and graphical processing units, get more capable, they consume more power. Managing these increasingly power-hungry systems and maintaining sustainability requires a combo of efficient power-draw management and powerful cooling. These improvements are already being delivered in accumulating fractions by the likes of Dell Technologies Inc. and Intel Corp. ...

The scalability of the cloud has made it a catalyst for transformation in several advancing technologies, including high-performance computing. What trends are accelerating the merging of cloud and HPC — especially for research and enterprise use cases? “After the pandemic, the complexity of HPC became an important issue,” said Shervin Sammak (pictured, right), product manager at Dell ...

Cloud-native tools are seeing steady forward movement, with Kubernetes’ ability to manage application states as a strong example. Organizations are now deploying and managing stateful applications at scale with Kubernetes solutions like Kasten. “It’s definitely gone beyond the early adopters; that’s what I’m seeing,” said Tom Leyden (pictured, right), vice president of marketing, Kasten at Veeam. “If ...

C-suite executives, especially those in technical roles, always crave faster solutions that are scalable and cost-effective. While those demands are fair, infrastructural underpinnings, such as storage/database and data protection, must never be overlooked. “I think what’s happened in this community is there’s a momentum that’s been built,” said David Nicholson (pictured, right), chief technology officer of ...

Since its unveiling in November 2022, ChatGPT has placed artificial intelligence in its strongest-ever positioning within the tech space. However, the capabilities these AI tools offer can’t all be used positively. That’s where adversarial AI comes in, and it might well pose a significant threat to cybersecurity. “In the industry, we’ve been talking about things like ...

In today’s age of over-the-top platforms and livestreaming, media organizations have to be agile and proactive in delivering fresh content to an ever-changing viewership. Top-notch media supply chain management has moved from a nice-to-have to an absolute necessity. Platforms such as Nomad Technologies LLC’s are answering that requirement with savvy content enrichment, workflow management and ...

The central theme of today’s AWS Industry Technology Partners Showcase is the role of cloud technologies in enterprise media supply chains, covering areas such as the creation, management and multi-channel distribution of valuable content. Cloud-native tools, delivered through conduits such as the Amazon Web Services Inc. Marketplace, are answering the need for accelerated content velocity ...
