Nallatech doesn’t make FPGAs, but it does have several decades of experience turning FPGAs into devices and systems that companies can deploy to solve real-world computing problems without having to do the systems integration work themselves. …
While most public cloud infrastructure has full-on server virtualization to dice and slice the compute, memory, and I/O capacity of iron so companies can share it, not every workload runs well atop virtual machines and in those cases, a bare metal cloud is a better place to be. …
For those who read here often, there are clear signs that the FPGA is set to become a compelling acceleration story over the next few years. …
Intel has been perfectly honest about the fact that certain technologies it is putting forward are being driven by hyperscalers and cloud builders. …
The Open Compute Project started by Facebook nearly five years ago is in many respects a tier one server maker a tier one server maker that just so happens to have multiple manufacturers etching motherboards and bending metal instead of one. …
The voracious appetite for compute and storage capacity among hyperscalers and cloud builders once again drove the server market to new heights as 2015 came to a close, and unless some wobbling from Hewlett Packard Enteprise and Cisco Systems is a leading indicator of a slowdown – and we do not think it is – then this year will probably also be a record setter. …
It is not every day that you see the titans of some of the biggest hyperscalers share the same stage, and even less likely that the companies that pride themselves on having bootstrapped their own infrastructure because they can do it better than the vendor community at their massive scale would agree on setting standards together. …
A year ago, at the Open Compute Summit, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which was not even called that yet, unveiled its bare-bones, vanity free, hyperscale-class Cloudline server lineup, which had the double-edged task of keeping the company selling minimalist machines in China in conjunction with manufacturing partner Foxconn while at the same time giving HPE a chance to defend against the unrelenting pressure of the handful of original design manufacturers (ODMs) that want to topple the world’s largest server maker from its perch. …
Back in the early 1990s, the common view was that there was little money to be made in the business of open source. …
If there has been a time when the IT industry was not being roiled by multiple transitions, we can’t remember it. …
