What could be better than open hardware? How about customized? | #OpenPOWERSummit
If you’re not familiar with Moore’s Law, it states that the performance of microchip processors will double every two years. Now with OpenPOWER making news, the focus has shifted from the quantity of processing power to the quality. But Brad McCredie, VP and fellow at IBM, says that instead of thinking of OpenPOWER as moving software ...
How open hardware will crank up the power of applications | #OpenPOWERSummit
Building the application of your dreams has never been easier with the open-source software available to developers today. But there are some things that software tweaks alone can’t manage, and that’s when you need to go deeper, into the hardware to enable your application to perform on a whole new level. The developers on the ...
The future of problem solving with deep learning | #OpenPOWERSummit
Bringing together silicon and software is what the conversation is about around OpenPOWER. Today’s application architects love the breathing room that open-source software gives them, and IBM thinks all in IT are going to welcome the “opening” of hardware. John Ashley, senior IBM software developer relations manager at NVIDIA Corp., told David Floyer (@dfloyer), cohost ...
Not just for software: Bringing open-source philosophy to hardware | #OpenPOWERSummit
Open-source software is one of the hottest commodities in IT these days. Customers love the choice and flexibility open-source offers, and they are gobbling up new software as fast as developers can create it. With the huge increase in interest in OpenPOWER over the past year, we are about to see what open can do deeper ...
Beyond cloud: The new as-a-service philosophy | #CUBEconversations
What’s more important to you? That your infrastructure works for your applications or that your applications work for your infrastructure? That’s what we thought, and the growing world of as-a-service is turning the old infrastructure-first model right-side up. Developers are now demanding that any application they can dream up will be supported by shape-shifting as-a-service ...
Can Big Data drive up the ROI on IoT? | #HS16Dublin
For today’s businesses, the term Big Data piques both excitement and confusion. Many find themselves knee deep in data they don’t quite know what to do with — maybe it holds the secret that will lead to their next lucrative innovation; maybe they will merely spend time looking through it only to discover nothing of ...
Can you use Hadoop to teach old IT new tricks? | #HS16Dublin
What we all love about IT is the pace of change and innovation that keeps it exciting; what we don’t love are the constant growing pains that come with adopting the changes, the expenses, the worry that this year’s infrastructure won’t support tomorrow’s new advances. So a solution that can weave new technology into existing ...
Is your static network architecture ‘so 20 years ago?’ | #CUBEconversations
The revolutionary changes storage underwent in recent years culminated in the explosion of flash, which solved the latency problem. But IT is like a game of whack-a-mole, where once one problem is solved, another pops up to replace it. Now, according to Rich Napolitano, CEO of Plexxi, Inc., that problem is the network — particularly ...
Is an on-prem stepping stone the cure for public cloud jitters? | #CloudWorld
Despite the hype around public could, some companies are still reluctant to make the move off-prem with all that’s at stake. Others cannot move to the cloud for legislative reasons. Swamy Kuppuswamy, director of system integrations, analytics, data science and enterprise data management at Avaya, Inc., said that, happily, the complexities of moving to cloud ...
Is a sensor data explosion about to dwarf Big Data as we know it? | #BigDataSV
Big Data is a big field with big promise and big challenges. It seems that for every creative or profitable use-case we see, a snafu with storing or working with data rears its head. Some questions facing companies collecting Big Data are: Who’s going to parse it, prepare it and turn it into useful information? ...
