Hardware Slaves to the Master Algorithm
Over the long course of IT history, the burden has been on the software side to keep pace with rapid hardware advances—to exploit new capabilities and boldly go where no benchmarks have gone before. However, as we swiftly ride into a new age where machine learning and deep learning take the place of more static applications and software advances are far faster than chipmakers can tick and tock to, hardware device makers are scrambling.
That problem is profound enough on its own, and is an entirely different architectural dance than general purpose device have ever had to step to. Shrinking …

HPE Trims Back To The Core Enterprise Essentials

The 4 Biggest Questions About Docker from VMworld 2016
Simply incredible. We spent last week at VMworld speaking with thousands of enterprise security, infrastructure and virtualization pros. It was humbling to witness all of the curiosity and excitement around Docker at the show, and how Docker clearly made a strong impression on the attendees.
This curiosity around Docker and its use within enterprise environments is the reason why i’m writing this blog. We noticed that there were many of the same questions that arose, and we figured we should share them with you, as you start your journey towards adopting Docker containers and VMs.
Here are the most commonly asked questions from the conference.
- What is Docker? Or even a container? Is it a lightweight VM? Can I use it with vSphere? What value do they provide?
Containers are really about applications, not servers. That’s why they aren’t VMs. @docker #VMWorld #TFD

A Docker container is a standard unit in which application code, binaries and libraries can be packaged and isolated. The Docker Engine is the runtime installed on your infrastructure of choice and is what executes commands to build and deploy containers. Many containers can be connected together to form a Continue reading
