The “Tomahawk” switch chips from Broadcom, which are based on the new 25G Ethernet standard crafted by hyperscalers, are starting to appear in more and more devices. …
Microsoft doesn’t just love running Linux workloads on the Azure cloud. …
The entire premise of language and the storage of communication is founded on a principle that we can learn from the mistakes and successes of others. …
It looks like networking price war is getting set to break out in the largest datacenters of the world, and this is precisely what Google and Microsoft had in mind when they formed the 25G Ethernet consortium back in July 2014. …
The next generation, high speed, low latency fabric known as the Intel Omni-Path Architecture (OPA), made an informal debut in July at this year’s ISC conference in Frankfurt. …
As we have discussed at length here at The Next Platform, the dividing lines between high performance computing datacenters and their cloud or web-scale compatriots are blurring, fed in part by increasing data sizes and the speeds at which data must be moved. …
While companies are beginning to think at the rack scale and hyperscalers like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and others have long since been thinking about computing at the scale of an entire datacenter, it is important to remember that computing happens at the server node and therefore the server node architecture matters. …
After many years of investment, Mellanox Technologies is reaping from the research and development that it has sown in the InfiniBand and Ethernet markets, pushing up bandwidth to 56 Gb/sec and now to 100 Gb/sec just as Intel’s “Haswell” Xeon E5 v3 processors – the dominant CPUs behind the machines cloud, hyperscale, and HPC datacenters – are ramping. …
