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

Broadcom introduced VMware Private AI Cloud at VMware Explore, a private cloud architecture designed to run AI models close to enterprise data. Rather than moving sensitive data to external model providers, the platform is intended to bring models to the data within an organization’s private infrastructure. VMware Private AI Cloud combines VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF),

At VMware Explore, Broadcom introduced comprehensive security, identity, and open-source supply-chain solutions designed for enterprise AI deployments. As organizations move from static model querying to autonomous agentic architectures, workloads increasingly use emerging communication protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) networking. These distributed frameworks create new attack surfaces across autonomous agents,

ASHRAE TC 9.9, the technical committee that owns most of the data center industry’s thermal guidance, has posted a freely downloadable Technical Bulletin titled TCS Coolant Integrity and System Readiness Best Practices, and it opens more with a warning than standards-body documents usually do: “It is too easy to violate direct-to-chip cooling system operational and

Kioxia and Sandisk outlined a joint capital investment plan totaling over $31 billion (approximately 5 trillion yen) through 2032 to expand advanced 3D NAND flash memory production in Japan. The planned deployment of capital is contingent on Japanese government subsidies and builds on the joint venture’s 25-year manufacturing partnership, which has previously directed more than

AMD has released ROCm 10, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of its open software stack, and made ROCm.AI generally available to developers. First introduced at Advancing AI 2026, ROCm.AI is an AI-native development platform intended to accelerate build, deployment, and optimization workflows on AMD hardware. ROCm.AI combines three components, ROCm Hyperloom, AMD Skills, and the

Brian recently caught up with Tim Shedd, an expert in thermal management and a pioneer in liquid cooling technologies. The podcast covers some of the historical aspects of data center liquid cooling, from Tim’s time working with Cray and spraying liquid across tubes to his more recent engagement with Dell’s PowerEdge XE9680.

NVIDIA has announced the Jetson Orin Nano 2, an updated system-on-module and developer kit engineered to run compact foundation models and real-time computer vision workloads at the edge. The release targets embedded robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, and industrial edge devices that require local inference capabilities without relying on continuous cloud connectivity. “Today’s small and medium
