The Serious Business Of Being A Server OEM
Not everybody is a hyperscaler or large public cloud builder, and no two companies are happier about that than Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the two largest original equipment manufacturers in the world for servers and storage and also the two companies that chased plenty of sales at these webscale datacenter operators in years gone by but which have learned, of necessity, to walk away from deals where they can’t make money or even lose money. …

Bulking Up The File System for A World Of Clouds And Edges
The challenge of managing data is growing faster than the data itself is piling up, and that is bad except for the companies that can create new tools to manage it, either to use internally as the hyperscalers do or to sell to those who cannot fund such development and count on vendors to do it. …
