For more than two decades, DirectData Networks has focused on HPC storage, supplying large systems to enterprises and research institutions wrestling with complex and data-laden workloads and taking on such challenges as acquiring the Lustre File System from Intel in 2018. …
DataDirect Networks announced it is purchasing Nexenta, a software-defined storage (SDS) specialist based in Silicon Valley. …
Lustre has been an essential component of HPC systems for a decade and a half, and has experienced a somewhat turbulent history of shifting ownership followed by uncertain support from various backers as an open source project. …
In the high performance computing arena, the stress is always on performance. …
The old adage in the modern datacenter is that compute is free, but data movement is very, very expensive. …
DataDirect Networks got its start as a storage provider for media companies back in 1998, but it sold its first products in into the supercomputing base that was looking for high capacity and screaming performance. …
Nvidia has spent much of the year launching new products and partnerships that aim to ensure it keeps its place atop the wild west that is still the AI market while establishing its place in the emerging quantum computing space, where co-founder and chief executive officer Jensen Huang sees Nvidia being a key infrastructure provider and accelerator. …
It is safe to say in 2025 that the best job in the world is the chief executive officer of Nvidia, and that the company’s co-founder, Jensen Huang, has steered the company to great heights as much as fellow co-founders Thomas Watson ever did with International Business Machines, Larry Ellison ever did with Oracle, and Steve Jobs ever did with Apple Computer. …
SPONSORED FEATURE: When it comes to artificial intelligence, it seems nothing succeeds like excess. …
All of the weather and climate simulation centers on Earth are trying to figure out how to use a mixture of traditional HPC simulation and modeling with various kinds of AI prediction to create forecasts for both near-term weather and long-term climate that have higher fidelity and go out further into the future. …
