Amazon has launched three AWS Outposts servers, each of which is powered by the AWS Nitro System. Outposts is a line of fully managed solutions that offer AWS infrastructure and services to any on-premises or edge location. Their solutions also give customers the ability to extend and run native AWS services on-premises in a range
AWS first announced in 2018 as a system of products, including Nitro Cards to accelerate and offload network and storage I/O, the Nitro Security Chip to monitor and protect hardware resources, and the Nitro Hypervisor to manage memory and CPU allocation with very low overhead, to deliver innovation quickly. For decades, traditional hard drives were the primary block
Powered by new Graviton3 processors, AWS EC2 C7g instances are going to be a great match for compute-intensive workloads: HPC, batch processing, electronic design automation (EDA), media encoding, scientific modeling, ad serving, distributed analytics, and CPU-based machine learning inferencing.
During AWS re:Invent, Amazon announced new storage features for Amazon Elastic Block Store(EBS); EBS Snapshots Archive, and EBS Snapshots Recycle Bin. EBS is a high-performance block storage service for your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.
Amazon announced the general availability of Amazon EC2 G5g instances that extend Graviton2 price-performance benefits to GPU-based workloads featuring NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs. The AWS G5g instances provide the best price-performance for Android game streaming, with up to 25 Gbps of networking bandwidth and 19 Gbps of EBS bandwidth, while providing up to 30 percent
AWS and AMD have collaborated to give customers more choice and value in cloud computing, starting with the first generation AMD EPYC processors in 2018, such as M5a/R5a, M5ad/R5ad, and T3a instances. At AWS re:Invent this week, Amazon announced GA of Amazon EC2 M6a instances featuring 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors. These AMD processors operate at frequencies
Today NVIDIA LaunchPad hits new heights. LaunchPad is a hands-on environment where enterprise customers can use NVIDIA AI Enterprise servers in a vSphere 7 environment managed by Equinix free of charge for 2-4 weeks. Although enterprises are more than welcome to use this service with real workloads they are considering deploying on an NVIDIA environment,
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has been offering innovative cloud solutions for some time. Back in 2018, we reviewed their bare metal instances, which were crazy fast thanks to NVMe storage and networking infrastructure that was beyond most other clouds. OCI has continued to push the boundaries with HPC instances that leverage the latest 3rd Gen
There’s little doubt that Amazon is the leader when it comes to a variety of cloud services offered through their EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) web service. With a relatively simple provisioning process and the ability to easily scale instances and storage needs up or down, EC2 aims to deliver all the promise of the cloud
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure includes a wide variety of service offerings including compute, storage, networking, database, and load balancing–in effect, all the infrastructure necessary to construct a cloud-based data center. In the context of this review, we’re interested in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute category, with a very specific focus on their bare metal instances.
