VDURA has completed the deployment of its data platform at New Mexico State University (NMSU), moving the system into full production. The infrastructure is designed to serve the university’s research community with a high-durability, high-throughput storage environment tailored specifically for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. NMSU, which holds Carnegie R1 status and manages
The Dell Pro 14 Premium is what Dell calls its ultimate commercial notebook: a 14-inch, 2.54-pound magnesium flagship aimed at highly mobile professionals rather than workstation users. It sits above the Dell Pro and Dell Pro Plus lines, and the pitch is craftsmanship and portability with enterprise security and manageability underneath, not raw compute. The
AWS has made its Amazon EC2 R9g and R9gd instances generally available, introducing memory-optimized systems powered by AWS Graviton5 processors. The new Arm-based instances target database, caching, analytics, container, and microservices workloads that require high memory bandwidth and improved per-vCPU performance. Compared with Graviton4-based R8g instances, AWS states that R9g can deliver up to 25%
At VMware Explore 2026, we had the chance to sit down with Stuart McRae, Executive Director of Lenovo’s Enterprise Storage, Software, and Solutions Offering Group.

VAST Data and CrowdStrike are turning the AI security partnership they announced at VAST Forward in February into a shipping product, detailing a multi-layered integration that embeds enterprise-grade cybersecurity directly into AI storage infrastructure, data pipelines, and production AI workloads. By combining the VAST AI Operating System with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, the collaboration addresses
MLCommons published the MLPerf Storage v3.0 results today, and the round changes not only what the benchmark is but also who leads it. For the first time, the only audited AI storage benchmark covers the full pipeline: training throughput, checkpointing, and two new inference workloads, a vector database test and a KV cache test. Nineteen
NVIDIA and MediaTek announced a significant expansion of their strategic collaboration, covering enterprise AI infrastructure, edge computing, client PCs, and automotive platforms. Backing the initiative, NVIDIA has invested $3.5 billion in MediaTek-issued convertible bonds.

The Solidigm D7-PS1030 is the mid-endurance arm of the company’s first PCIe 5.0 data center family, pairing the platform it shares with the D7-PS1010 with a 3 DWPD rating and a random write ceiling of up to 800K IOPS, double the 400K of its standard-endurance sibling. The family ranges from 1.6TB to 12.8TB across E3.S
High availability has moved from a data center luxury to a line item in ordinary resiliency planning. Small businesses and edge sites now run point-of-sale, surveillance, and shared storage that cost money every minute they are down, yet the classic answer, a dual-controller enterprise array, is sized and priced for the data center rather than
