The biggest AI infrastructure decision many enterprises make in the next year won’t be a GPU investment; it will be a database upgrade. Oracle AI Database 26ai is the long-term support release Oracle is steering its 19c installed base toward. 26ai puts vector search in the same engine that holds transactions. When the vector index
Kimi Antonelli won the United States Grand Prix from pole on a one-stop, beating Charles Leclerc by 13.078 seconds with Max Verstappen third; the pit wall held against Verstappen’s two-stop undercut. Ferrari had owned the timing sheets until then, Leclerc fastest in Friday’s second practice and Lewis Hamilton in Saturday’s final session, so the Mercedes
The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition is the card NVIDIA built for the servers most enterprises already own. It is a single-slot, passively cooled, 165W board with 32GB of GDDR7 and the full Blackwell feature set: fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4, fourth-generation RT cores, three encoders and three decoders, and Multi-Instance GPU support
When we went deep on Dell PowerStore Gen 3 earlier this year, the story was hardware, and there was plenty of it. Dell rebuilt the platform from the chassis up: 40 E3.S NVMe bays in 3U with no slots burned on cache, a 200GbE RDMA midplane between controllers that is decoupled from CPU generations, Software-Defined
Deskside AI systems built on NVIDIA’s GB10 have one job, and they do it well: put 128GB of unified memory and a petaflop of compute on a desk close enough to the person using it that iteration is instant. What they don’t have is a connection to the storage an organization already runs. Every DGX
The Solidigm D5-P5430 is the mainstream tier of Solidigm’s QLC data center line. It’s the drive that sits below the capacity-maximizing D5-P5336 and carries a smaller indirection unit for the mixed and small-block write workloads a 16KB-IU drive handles poorly. We reviewed the 15.36TB P5430 at launch in 2023, when the story was the jump
The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition is the card NVIDIA built primarily to replace the L4 in servers that live outside the data center: single-slot, PCIe Gen5, passively cooled, 165W, with 32GB of GDDR7 and the full Blackwell feature set, including FP4 Tensor Cores and Multi-Instance GPU. HPE sent us a ProLiant DL145
In enterprise IT, most security upgrades typically occur in response to breaches or other significant incidents. The recently developed INCITS FC-SP-3 standard, however, represents a proactive response to regulatory and cryptographic deadlines that are already influencing infrastructure planning. The NSA’s CNSA 2.0 guidance presents National Security Systems with a complex migration path, while the European
Eaton is getting ready to ship the kind of PDU that didn’t need to exist five years ago. The HDXL Rack PDU G4, arriving in the fourth quarter of 2026, delivers 56-81kW from a single zero-U unit, with 24 outlets, 21 branch breakers, and a 100A corded or 140A terminal-block input. Four models launch in
For two decades, the SSD-versus-HDD conversation ended the same way: flash wins on performance, disk wins on price per terabyte, and the size of that price gap settled the argument in favor of bulk storage. As storage technology has matured and AI has taken over, that framing is clearly out of date. The largest data
