For more than a year, Dell Technologies has been putting together the pieces of its hybrid cloud strategy, a combination of its own hardware – in particular, the VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure appliance – and software and VMware technologies, including its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) platform and, more recently, the virtualization vendor’s Tanzu, a platform for Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native applications. …
Bioinformatics research that targets infectious diseases is more important now than ever. …
The composable systems trend has taken root in some of the world’s largest datacenters, most notably among hyperscale companies, but has been less quick to catch on in traditional high performance computing (HPC) environments. …
Dan Stanzione has a lot of compute power at his fingertips. …
It is common knowledge in the manufacturing sector of the economy that many of the companies that should have deployed HPC simulation and modeling applications one or two decades ago to help with product design, among other tasks, did not do so. …
A year ago, Dell Technologies made a significant push deeper into the fast-growing hybrid cloud space, unveiling its Dell Technologies Cloud initiative that includes hybrid cloud platforms that take advantage of the tight integration of technologies from Dell and VMware, which is majority owned by the larger company. …
In the early days of GPU-accelerated supercomputers, accelerators were installed with the mission of delivering ultra-high performance for a few select codes. …
Several years ago, the HPC systems designed for wide-ranging scientific computing were quite a bit different than those built for intense scalability and maximum peak performance. …
To one way of looking at it, a reprise of the Bus Wars from days gone by in the late 1980s and early 1990s would have been a lot of fun. …
Not everybody is a hyperscaler or large public cloud builder, and no two companies are happier about that than Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the two largest original equipment manufacturers in the world for servers and storage and also the two companies that chased plenty of sales at these webscale datacenter operators in years gone by but which have learned, of necessity, to walk away from deals where they can’t make money or even lose money. …
