It is remarkable how quickly technology giants like Facebook, Google, Amazon and others became newsmakers No1 in the networking area. Seriously, for 5 breaking news from these guys its only 1 serious announcement from vendor-camp. Keeping the ratio in favor of tech giants meet the roundup of the recent Facebook' even called Disaggregate: Networking. [1]Q&A: 15 Questions AWS Users Ask About DDC For AWS
Docker is deployed across all major cloud service providers, including AWS. So when we announced Docker Datacenter for AWS (which makes it even easier to deploy DDC on AWS) and showed live demos of the solution at AWS re:Invent 2016 it was no surprise that we received a ton of interest about the solution. Docker Datacenter for AWS, as you can guess from its name, is now the easiest way to install and stand up the Docker Datacenter (DDC) stack on an AWS EC2 cluster. If you are an AWS user and you are looking for an enterprise container management platform, then this blog will help answer questions you have about using DDC on AWS.
In last week’s webinar, Harish Jayakumar, Solutions Engineer at Docker, provided a solution overview and demo to showcase how the tool works, and some of the cool features within it. You can watch the recording of the webinar below:
We also hosted a live Q&A session at the end where we opened up the floor to the audience and did our best to get through as many questions as we could. Below, are fifteen of the questions that we received from the audience. We selected Continue reading
Chip Makers and the China Challenge
China represents a big and growing market opportunity for IT vendors around the world. It’s huge population and market upside compared with the more mature regions across the globe is hugely attractive to system and component makers, and the Chinese government’s willingness to spend money to help build up the country’s compute capabilities only adds to the allure. In addition, it is home to such hyperscale players as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, which like US counterparts Google, Facebook and eBay are building out massive datacenters that are housing tens of thousands of servers.
However, those same Chinese government officials aren’t …

More DockerCon Speakers Announced
Today, we are announcing the next group of awesome DockerCon speakers and we can’t wait for the lessons, stories, tips, tricks and insights they will share.
- Need tips on how to create effective images, even when you have to include a bunch of image processing libraries?
- What about learning how other organizations are taking Docker into production and adopting DevOps?
- Want to deep dive into the Docker internals from Docker’s technical staff?
Join us at the largest container conference in the world to hear these stories and many more DockerCon speakers from the community.

Memory at the Core of New Deep Learning Research Chip
Over the last two years, there has been a push for novel architectures to feed the needs of machine learning and more specifically, deep neural networks.
We have covered the many architectural options for both the training and inference sides of that workload here at The Next Platform, and in doing so, started to notice an interesting trend. Some companies with custom ASICs targeted at that market seemed to be developing along a common thread—using memory as the target for processing.
Processing in memory (PIM) architectures are certainly nothing new, but because the relatively simple logic units inside of …

Many Life Sciences Workloads, One Single System
The trend at the high end, from supercomputer simulations to large-scale genomics studies, is to push heterogeneity and software complexity while reducing the overhead on the infrastructure side. This might sound like a case of dueling forces, but there is progress in creating a unified framework to run multiple workloads simultaneously on one robust cluster.
To put this into context from a precision medicine angle, Dr. Michael McManus shared his insights about the years he spent designing infrastructure for life sciences companies and research. Those fields have changed dramatically in just the last five years alone in terms of data …
