In-memory compute platform previews HPE Machine’s coming attractions
Since its debut, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.’s memory-driven supercomputer project, The Machine, has had industry analysts scratching their heads. “Where is the product?” they asked. The company’s new Machine kindred, Superdome Flex in-memory computing platform, may be a sneak peek. “It’s a better product that neither company could have delivered on their own,” said Mike Woodacre ...
HPE, GE Digital flexes muscle in tech on global Industrial IoT jobs
Industrial “internet of things” edge computing demands that multiple parts — software, hardware, data, information technology and operations teams — work in tandem. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. and GE Digital LLC are pooling their technologies in global initiatives to improve Industrial IoT and asset performance management. “In the world of IoT, things are blurring a ...
HPE’s app-agnostic, infra-neutral multicloud compass
How does a company construct the perfect multicloud environment? Should they agonize over which on-premises or public clouds offer the best services or cost efficiency and then toss in all their applications? Actually, they ought to let the apps themselves lead the way, according to Flynn Maloy (pictured, left), vice president of Pointnext marketing at Hewlett Packard Enterprise ...
Database accelerators rev up apps in finance, more
Faster data ingestion and querying sounds like a fine thing, but does it translate to concrete advances in applications? What about pure business value? Database accelerators let companies plug in real-time speed and see for themselves. “The applications enable customers to do things they were not capable of doing before,” said Karsten Rönner (pictured), chief executive ...
AI could fly to the IoT edge on time with FPGAs
Lugging all data from “internet of things” connected devices back to the cloud for processing may work in theory or testing but not so much when a developed product goes live. For a product to claim artificial intelligence, it must show its stuff with on-the-spot, instant inferences; there’s no time for trips back to the data ...
Lenovo, Nutanix school enterprises on software-defined everything
What good are decades-old hardware roots in the newfangled era of cloud and software-defined computing? Perhaps the old guard style of servicing customers is just what some young technology vendors lack. “Rather than being a legacy provider protecting the status quo, we see ourselves as the challengers trying to shift the discussion to the future,” ...
Many cloud-native hands try to make light work of Kubernetes
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation, home of the Kubernetes open-source community, grew wildly this year. It welcomed membership from industry giants like Amazon Web Services Inc. and broke attendance records at last week’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon conference in Austin, Texas. This is all happy news for Kubernetes — the favored platform for orchestrating containers (a virtualized method ...
AWS Fargate gets granular with invisible-infra containers
Amazon Web Services Inc.’s kaleidoscope of cloud offerings keep morphing, merging and meshing into new delivery models. The juggernaut just threw EC2 Bare Metal instances into the pot along with virtual machines, serverless functions and containers — a virtualized method for running distributed applications. And just announced Fargate enables users to mix different instances with containers ...
Kubernetes consistency could solve the bane of IT departments
All this hubbub about needing to simplify the Kubernetes container orchestration management platform makes one wonder: Is untangling its complexity really worth the fuss? What’s the payoff? The payoff in the big picture of an information technology department will be reduced complexity through consistency, according to Chen Goldberg (pictured), director of engineering at Google LLC. “I think that’s ...

Weighing maturing Kubernetes and unruly serverless for next-gen apps
Two tech trends with a shot at dominating next-generation software applications are containers (a virtualized method for running distributed applications) and serverless computing. Kubernetes’ popular container management platform is maturing and adopting community standards from top players, while the serverless sector remains a Wild West of disparate initiatives. Will software developers welcome Kubernetes’ adult supervision or ...
