The datacenter is a tough battleground, with vendors at every part of the stack pushing and pulling against each other to try to win business. …
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is hosting its first big shindig, the Discover Europe customer and partner conference, as a company separated from PCs and printers, and is trotting out a new line of systems, code named “Thunderbird” and sold under the brand HPE Synergy, that are follow-ons to its BladeSystem blade servers. …
Like other makers of supercomputers, the Bull unit of French services and system maker Atos is embracing the new processing technologies coming out of Intel. …
The bi-annual list of the Top 500 fastest supercomputers on the planet is in, and while there might not be any earth-shattering news at the peak of the charts, a drilldown of the results does show some key developing trends in high performance computing. …
The results of the Top 500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers has just been announced, and while there are no big surprises at the top outside of a couple of new additions, the real news sits farther down the stack—and could speak volumes about the global supercomputing race in terms of which countries are pushing investments. …
It has been a noteworthy year in hardware in the world of high performance computing, although to be fair, much of the attention has been centered on emerging architecture and future systems that are set to start appearing as early as this time next year. …
Storage servers in their many forms are rapidly making traditional storage arrays, with their custom electronics, a thing of the past, and hyperconverged server-SAN hybrids are a hot commodity in the enterprise datacenter because they radically simplify virtualized infrastructure and deliver some of the operational benefits that hyperscalers have created for their own converged infrastructure. …
Here’s a good question to ask: What happens if hyperscale customers who have been pushing their server makers to create density optimized machines move back towards designs that are more monolithic? …
While the news of the last few years has clearly indicated that China is at the top of the world when it comes to chart-topping supercomputers, the storyline is evolving—and the picture for high performance computing in Asia is not as rosy as many believe. …
