As I’ve been saying for the past year or so, cloud conferences have become generative AI conferences , as have data center conferences, databases conferences, and you name it. It’s clearly mo...
Chip manufacturers are producing a steady stream of new GPUs. While they bring new benefits to many different use cases, the number of GPU models available from each manufacturer can overwhelm de...
Even with all of the advances in IT, whether it’s modular hardware, massive cloud computing resources, or small-form-factor edge devices, IT still has a scale problem. Not physically—it’s e...
The internet of things (IoT) has transformed the way we interact with the world, connecting a myriad of devices to the internet, from smart thermostats in our homes to industrial sensors in manu...
The world has become “sensor-fied.” Sensors on everything, including cars, factory machinery, turbine engines, and spacecraft, continuously collect data that developers leverage to optimize...
I recently participated in a documentary called “Clouded II: Does Cloud Cost the Earth?” Please watch it. It looks at the issues surrounding cloud computing, its consumption of power, and th...
Don’t look now, but 25% of organizations surveyed in the United Kingdom have already moved half or more of their cloud-based workloads back to on-premises infrastructures. This is according to ...

Kubernetes and edge computing are poised to power the new generation of applications, both together and separately. The enterprise market for edge computing is expected to grow four to five tim...
A recent survey is telling us what most of us already know. Cloud migrations are complex, expensive, and often need to be more successful. Perhaps it’s time we stopped digging a migration hole ...

AI has gone big, and so have AI models. 10-billion-parameter universal models are crushing 50-million-parameter task-specific models, demonstrating superior performance at solving many tasks from...
The convergence of artificial intelligence and edge computing promises to be transformative for many industries. Here the rapid pace of innovation in model quantization, a technique that result...
Linus Torvalds has been working on Linux for 32 years, longer than many software developers have been alive. Surprisingly though, Linux, Torvalds’ earliest “hobby project,” arguably gains i...
Red Hat on November 8 announced both the general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.3 and the planned release of RHEL 8.9, which expand the built-in Podman container management ca...
Cloud computing has become synonymous with enterprise IT, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Though enterprises now spend roughly $545 billion annually on cloud infrastructure, according to...
In its latest rendition, Lightbend’s Akka distributed computing platform features a programming model enabling developers to build a cloud-native application once and have it work across both...
Edge computing emerged as a revolutionary tool to address the rising demand for real-time data processing. By enabling data processing at the edge of the network, closer to where it’s generate...

The Open Compute Project (OCP) , an industry initiative focused on redesigning hardware for growing infrastructure demands, has turned its focus to the hardware requirements of artificial intelli...
I’m beginning to see articles about how generative AI technology can assist in cloud migration . We’ve already covered generative AI’s role in cloud architecture ; this is really about bett...
I hate to say, “I told you so,” but the significant downturn in cloud spending that many people anticipated has not yet happened. Last year and this year, I’ve had one argument after anothe...
Hot on the heels of Oracle’s release of the Java 21 platform , Microsoft now is offering its own build of the open source OpenJDK 21, at no cost. Available from learn.microsoft.com as of Sep...
