Data Center 2.0 —Untangling the software stack

Software is what makes a modern data center tick. But sorting through what goes where in terms of IT, OT and beyond can be tricky. We untangle this complex web and shine on spotlight on how AI is driving change in the systems that keep compute running smoothly. #AI #software #datacenters 

Data Center 2.0 – Episode 2: Storage

When people picture a data center, they tend to picture compute servers, GPUs, watts and raw horsepower. But there is another side of the equation that decides whether that expensive compute power actually does anything useful: Storage. In this episode,  we'll tackle what storage is, what decisions…

Data Center 2.0 – Episode 1: Compute

If you’re deploying AI, your decisions around what compute to use shouldn’t be based on which three-letter acronym you remember the best. We’re breaking down  how to think about compute for AI; what CPUs, GPUs, and newer accelerators are best at; where organizations can get tripped up; and what con…
