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
Mini PCs have become one of the more important segments of the client computing market. They anchor fleets of clutter-free office desks, drive digital signage and kiosks, and increasingly sit at the edge running inference close to cameras and sensors where cloud round-trips are too slow or too expensive. What the category has lacked until
HP’s ZBook Ultra G1a 14 holds the Best for Large Models spot on our Best Laptops for Local AI leaderboard because its 128GB of unified memory, 96GB of it assignable to the GPU, loaded models no discrete-GPU laptop could touch. The new HP ZBook Ultra G3a 16 raises that pool to 192GB with up to
The most common question we got about the MSI XpertStation WS300 after our review coalesces around one key theme. The GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip is a 1,300W part that normally lives in a liquid-cooled rack, so what happens to thermals when you put it in a tower? The concern is fair: a GB300 system
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 As storage technology has matured and AI has taken over, that framing is clearly out of date.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
The KIOXIA CM9-R is the first enterprise SSD family built on eighth-generation BiCS FLASH, and the 15.36TB E3.S model in our lab is the volume sweet spot of the range: 3,400K random read IOPS and 14,800 MB/s of sequential read from a drive with a 25W typical active rating. Gen5 enterprise drives routinely push into
The Dell Pro 14 Premium is what Dell calls its ultimate commercial notebook: a 14-inch, 2.54-pound magnesium flagship aimed at highly mobile professionals rather than workstation users. It sits above the Dell Pro and Dell Pro Plus lines, and the pitch is craftsmanship and portability with enterprise security and manageability underneath, not raw compute. The
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
