After the Pi Record: Serving a 130 TB Dataset with Backblaze B2

Earlier this year, we set a new record by computing 314 trillion digits of Pi. The calculation ran for months on a single Dell PowerEdge R7725, pushing modern CPU and storage infrastructure to the limit while demonstrating just how far enterprise hardware has come. When the run finally finished, however, the record itself turned out

Windows Server 2025 Native NVMe: Storage Stack Overhaul and Benchmark Results

On December 15, 2025, Microsoft announced that Windows Server 2025 would finally adopt the NVMe standard natively in its storage architecture. However, NVMe storage has been a popular storage format on servers, enterprise workstations, and consumer PCs for many years, with OS compatibility built in since Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1. With this

Acer Veriton GN100 Review: A Standout in the NVIDIA Spark Ecosystem

The Acer Veriton GN100 AI Mini Workstation is one of several Spark-based systems we are evaluating, all built around NVIDIA’s GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. Like the others, the GN100 is designed to bring datacenter-class AI compute into a compact desktop form factor, enabling developers and researchers to run and refine models locally rather than relying

Dell Pro Max with GB10 Review

When we first got our hands on the NVIDIA DGX Spark back in October, it was clear that NVIDIA was serious about shrinking datacenter-class AI down to something that could live on a desk. Our initial Founders Edition sample gave us an early look at what the Grace Blackwell-based GB10 platform could do in a

GIGABYTE AI TOP ATOM Review

With the initial release of NVIDIA’s DGX Spark platform, we’re now seeing different vendors package the GB10 Grace Blackwell foundation into their own compact desktop systems. While the core board and silicon remain standardized, differences emerge in chassis design, cooling behavior, storage configuration, and overall execution. In this review, we’re focusing on GIGABYTE’s implementation with

Dell PowerEdge XE7740: Inside the Architecture of Enterprise AI Inference

The AI infrastructure market is not moving in a single direction; it is separating into two distinct worlds. On one side are frontier training clusters, built to develop foundation models at a massive scale, tightly coupled to proprietary fabrics and a narrow set of accelerators. The other is the rapidly expanding reality of enterprise inference,
