The world’s future-forward companies share one understanding: the unavoidable need to digitize with purposive business transformation strategies. Different industries have varying transformation needs, and health insurance service provider Elevance Health Inc. (formerly Anthem Inc.) has opted for a purpose-driven approach enabled by IBM Corp. and Red Hat Inc. “When we looked at digital experiences as we ...

While edge computing has always presented its set of challenges and security concerns, its ability to create new business profitability avenues is evident. Features such as artificial intelligence are becoming more capable as IT infrastructures meld with operational technology for edge-driven transformation at scale, according to Christine Boles (pictured, right), vice president of the Network and ...

It’s no news that the global economy isn’t particularly strong. In the wake of contracting organizational budgets and mass layoffs, companies have embraced measures such as austerity and operational restructuring to stay competitive. For Infinidat Ltd., however, a combination of technical and financial value delivery through its range of data storage and protection solutions has ...

High-performance computing comes in especially handy in operations involving the analysis of large datasets. Traditional application areas such as meteorology, research, manufacturing, life sciences and finance all share this trait. With finance, in particular, HPC is being used at the quantitative level to perform activities ranging from credit valuation adjustment to risk analysis and trading ...

Networks are critical as they interlink systems such as servers and storage hardware within high-performance computing systems. But as the demands of organizations from their HPC systems continue to expand, composable technology allows them to retool the entire architecture as required. “In the old days when you wanted to build a cluster and you wanted, say, ...

Open source has been a boon for the digital enterprise. For one, it birthed the Ansible Automation Platform for software provisioning, configuration management and application deployment — among other things. But as it evolves with the times, what other capabilities are being worked into the Ansible suite? And which technologies will spearhead them? “Lightspeed is ...

The steady trudge of artificial intelligence isn’t stopping anytime soon.

Last year, the discourse about high-performance computing trends focused on the increasing importance of software, as opposed to hardware, in steering innovation there. Now, a new factor is at play. Since its recent explosion, artificial intelligence has begun to cut across several HPC operations within the enterprise. “I think there is an intersection between HPC and ...

Years after artificial intelligence tools like Siri and voice-controlled appliances, ChatGPT showed the world AI’s true breadth of capabilities. Generative AI and large language models aren’t showing any innovation slowdowns. Rather, they will only get more advanced as graphics processing units become more capable, according to Steen Graham (pictured, right), founder and chief executive officer of ...

Prior to the 2010s, most computing tasks were run through the now-outdated spinning disk storage format. Today, advances such as solid-state drives and the pervasive cloud are expanding the capabilities of high-performance computing to harness the power of artificial intelligence. “Now we are seeing the convergence of AI into HPC, and that brings a challenge ...
