Brian hosted Bill Bollengier, Senior Director of Product Management at Micron, for a live podcast on LinkedIn on October 15, with Bill calling in from the floor of the OCP Global Summit. The subject was the Micron 6600 ION 245TB SSD and what a quarter petabyte per drive bay does to floor space, power budgets,
NVIDIA’s GTC Berlin announcements today span containerized Vera Rubin infrastructure, a 2.5x expansion of its substrate supply, and software for AI factory power management and agent security, along with telecom, autonomous vehicle, robotics, and healthcare programs. The headline number is a deployment target: NVIDIA says its new DSX POD reference design cuts an AI factory’s
VAST Data announced that DeepL is deploying the VAST AI Operating System as the data foundation for the research environments behind its written and real-time voice translation. Based on current deployment plans, DeepL expects roughly three times the storage capacity of the NVMe hardware it already runs, and it will use VAST’s SyncEngine to migrate
Dell Technologies expanded the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA today at NVIDIA GTC Berlin with a 48U PowerEdge M9882 rack holding 256 NVIDIA Vera CPUs for agentic workload execution, the PowerEdge XE9810 rack-scale inference system built on Groq 3 LPUs, an air-cooled two-socket Vera server, a 64GB Dell Pro Precision with GB10, and a set
Nutanix announced three collaborations today at NVIDIA GTC Berlin: a jointly engineered private inference system with Supermicro built on servers with eight NVIDIA B300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs per node, Day Zero support for NVIDIA Vera CPUs starting with NKP Bare Metal, and a multitenant stack with Netris that extends tenant isolation into the physical network.
CoreWeave launched Physical AI Launchables and the CoreWeave Zero Trust AI Framework today at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. Launchables is a catalog of tested, ready-to-run templates for robotics and autonomous vehicle tools, each started with one command, that pairs environments for NVIDIA Isaac Sim, CARLA, MuJoCo, NVIDIA AlpaSim, and NVIDIA Cosmos 3 with coding-agent skills tuned
HPE announced updates to HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA today at NVIDIA GTC Berlin, and most of the changes land in HPE Private Cloud AI. Developers, independent software vendors, and AI agents get governed access to the platform’s inference, models, and pipelines through production APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, clusters can now mix
The Dell Pro Precision 9 T2 is the Xeon version of the single-GPU tower we reviewed a year ago as the Dell Pro Max Tower T2, and it arrives with two changes at once: a new name, as Dell moves its workstations back under the Precision brand, and a new platform, with Intel’s Xeon 6
NVIDIA has run a 104-qubit simulation of a fault-tolerant quantum processor on JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, using 8,192 GH200 GPUs. Announced ahead of GTC Berlin, the run models magic state cultivation, a method of producing the non-Clifford states a fault-tolerant computer consumes during logical operations, under realistic hardware noise.
HPE announced HPE Spaceborne Computer-4, a compute module that will run AI inference and what HPE says will be the first HPC benchmarks on the Moon. Loaded with KIOXIA SSDs, the module will fly as a payload on Astrolab’s FLIP rover, which Voyager Technologies’ Griffin-1 lander will deliver near the lunar south pole. Launching in
