If HPE’s shrinking, how is it doing more deals with more partners?
When Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. sold its software and spun out its services, many saw a bare-bones infrastructure company remaining without many solutions to bring to market. “People say, ‘Oh, look at HP; you know, you guys are getting smaller.’ As far as we can tell, we are getting a lot bigger,” said Dennis Deane (pictured, right), ...
HPE firmware gets firmer with silicon integration to fend off attacks
Wikileaks’ Vault 7 report revealed a host of malware types that can penetrate devices’ firmware, rendering many traditional recovery methods ineffective. “We saw evidence that firmware issues and exploits are here to stay,” said Jason Shropshire (pictured, left), senior vice president and chief technology officer at InfusionPoints LLC, a security testing and solutions company. Joining Shropshire ...
Is HP Labs’ supercomputer the new hope for supersized data?
With practically limitless data and applications demanding microseconds-fast insight, it’s poor timing that Moore’s law of perpetually increasing processor power is now AWOL. “How do we get back exponential scaling on supply to meet this unending, exponential demand?” asked Kirk Bresniker (pictured, right), fellow, vice president and chief architect at HP Labs, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise ...
AI supercomputing: From college labs to corporate offices
Big data is shifting the focus of high-performance computing toward machine learning and artificial intelligence, according to Bill Mannel (pictured, left), vice president and general manager, High-Performance Computing and artificial intelligence, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. “Typically, we built equations which then generated data; now we’re actually doing the reverse, which is, we take the data and ...
Will private cloud brighten HPE’s future? analysts ask
Hardware legacy Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. is operating in interesting times, struggling to regain its losses to fresh cloud service providers. “Certainly the competition’s been slamming them; the press has not been kind to them; people think they’re irrelevant; Wall Street just slammed them,” John Furrier (@furrier) (pictured, left) told Dave Vellante (@dvellante) (pictured, right), as ...
Cloud 28 consortium: Can HPE’s cloud service partners fill its software gap?
In an effort to fill its cloud software gap, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. has opted to help its channel partners in the cloud help each other with the Cloud 28 consortium. “One single partner can find, with another one, the way to achieve his goal instead of thinking, ‘I will do it myself, and I ...
HPE and GE Digital try to break IT/OT silos for intelligent edge computing
Cloud data lakes with agile and scalable compute let information technology teams do broad analysis on aggregated Industrial Internet of Things data. But folks working in the field need instant insight at the edge, according to Tripp Partain (pictured, left), global chief technical officer for OneHPE at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. “If I’m on an oil ...
An AI supercomputer beat humans at poker — now can it call a bluff in business?
Debate over machine learning models and intellectual property may scare some away from data sharing, while some strategists even allege that companies under-report big data Return On Investment to avoid tipping off competitors. If an organization’s best efforts might still result in incomplete or misleading data, algorithms must account for this, according to Tuomas Sandholm (pictured, right), ...
What new apps are chugging on Spark 2.2’s real-time engine?
Apache Spark 2.2 has achieved event-by-event data streaming by trimming some fat from its execution process. So what new applications will the leaner, meaner engine drive online? “Since we began structured streaming, we tried to make sure the API [Application Programming Interface] is not tied in with micro-batching in any way, and so this is ...
Analysts predict a hardware renaissance in open source
These are gloomy days for hardware legacy companies like Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., which saw vanishing sales last quarter. But is there a happier, if untold, story unfolding in open-source compute projects? “I think we’re going to see a hardware renaissance,” John Furrier (@furrier) (pictured, left) told Dave Vellante (@dvellante) (pictured, right), as the co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE ...
