Want to make your storage sing? Then make sure it’s built for composability
SPONSORED If buoyant market figures are anything to go by, most enterprises already have a good grasp of the benefits of adopting hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). …

What Faster And Smarter HBM Memory Means For Systems
If the HPC and AI markets need anything right now, it is not more compute but rather more memory capacity at a very high bandwidth. …

IBM Starts Showing A Little Hybrid Vigor
IBM may not be the biggest provider of systems in terms of the size of its customer base, but of the top 5,000 or so companies worldwide that are not hyperscalers and cloud builders in their own right, Big Blue does have a sizeable share of the system budget. …

Waiting – Not Precisely Patiently – For Exascale
There was an outside chance that China might pull a surprise on the HPC community and launch the first true exascale system – meaning capable of more than 1 exaflops of peak theoretical 64-bit floating point performance if you want to be generous, and 1 exaflops sustained on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark if you don’t – but that didn’t happen. …

The Many Other High Costs Cloud Users Pay
Isn’t it funny how the same hyperscalers who are maniacal about building everything themselves – and who are making a fortune selling access to their infrastructure as cloud services – want you to use their Seriously Hard Information Technology and stop using your own? …

Enfabrica Takes On Hyperdistributed I/O Bottlenecks
Not so very long ago, distributed computing meant clustering together a bunch of cheap X86 servers and equipping them with some form of middleware that allowed for work to be distributed across hundreds to thousands to sometimes tens of thousands of nodes. …

Intel Reorg Puts Gelsinger Firmly In Control Of The Datacenter
Whenever something is not working, you change it. Sometimes, you glue things together to create some sort of synergy and then you pull them apart to get some sort of necessary focus. …

Google Does The Server Math With Tau Cloud Instances
In a world where Moore’s Law is slowing and hardware has to be increasingly co-designed with the system software stack and the applications that run above it, the matrix of possible combinations of hardware is getting wider and deeper. …

Forget Mesos And OpenStack, Hashi Stack Is The New Next Platform
While a lot of software for creating and managing scale comes out of supercomputing centers, hyperscalers, and the largest public cloud builders, there is still plenty of innovation being done by people who need to tackle scale outside of these upper echelon organizations. …

A Tale Of Two Enterprise IT Beasties
The so-called “Magnificent 7” or “Super 8” hyperscalers and cloud builders of the world may comprise a substantial slice of worldwide sales of servers, storage, and networking, and the cloud capacity and hyperscale services they provide may in turn represent a significant – but nowhere near dominant – chunk of overall IT spending. …
