Windows is great for a lot of things, there’s a reason it’s the number one operating system in the world. That said, it’s not perfect, especially when it comes to embracing new storage standards. As such, there’s a tremendous opportunity for enterprising companies to develop solutions for Windows shops. As NVMe SSDs continue to dominate
We’ve worked with DataON a good deal in the past around their Azure Stack HCI offerings. They’ve done some great work with their Intel platforms and they’ve been able to take advantage of the entire ecosystem, including Intel servers, Optane storage, TLC SSDs, and even QLC SSDs for a low-cost data tier. Now, with new
We’ve been talking a lot about E1.S (ruler) SSDs lately. The last podcast covered ruler, we even transcribed key findings from that conversation in a ruler deep dive. Now, we’ve got a box of E1.S SSDs in from SK hynix, that leverage the popular 15mm z-height standard. Having the flash is fun and all, but
Dell Technologies has released a number of new updates today, building on their popular scale-out NAS platform.

Back at the end of April, Oracle released new compute instances, this time based on the 3rd generation of Intel Xeon Scalable processors, also known as Ice Lake. Oracle released the new instances to provide an enterprise-grade capability for compute-intensive and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. When paired with Oracle’s high-speed networking back-end and automation tools,
Today at the 2021 International Supercomputing Conference, Intel announced that its 3rd gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors are now powering supercomputers and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. The new CPU, codenamed Intel Sapphire Rapids, integrates with high Bandwidth memory (HBM). Intel says this will be ideal for working in HPC and with AI. Other announcements today
Today NVIDIA announced that with the help of some of its global partners, it is launching new NVIDIA HGX A100 systems. The new systems are looking to accelerate AI and HPC by adding NVIDIA elements such as NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe GPU, NVIDIA NDR 400G InfiniBand networking, and NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect Storage software. These
