Moving to a modern application platform based on Kubernetes has vast benefits, and while tool sets that improve the developer experience are great, cultural change is still needed. Members of VMware’s Tanzu Vanguard community, who are…
In what’s quickly becoming the de facto benchmarking standard for HPC storage, the IO500 named several Dell-based systems including those from CSIRO in Australia, Simon Fraser University in Canada, and Stanford University in the US. These supercomputers power exciting innovations in deep learning, disease control, and physics—think bionic eyes, DNA sequencing for infectious disease research,…
Driving 200+ miles an hour, Formula 1 racing cars built by the UK’s McLaren Group have a lot more in common today with fruit flies (a favorite among researchers with an accelerated lifespan of one to two weeks) than cheetahs (the fastest land animal). The company is applying winning insights from rapid, data-driven, evolutionary models…
One day in 2020, most office workers went home and stayed home, many of them for over two years now. Work from home (WFH) employees kept businesses running. Acceptance—often grudging–of WFH by C-suites, record-low unemployment, and fears of pandemic resurgences now mean that WFH will probably become work from anywhere (WFA) plus return to office…
