What Do You Do When You Want GPFS On The Cloud?
While there are a lot of different file system and object storage options available for HPC and AI customers, many AI organizations and a lot of traditional HPC simulation and modeling centers choose either the open source Lustre parallel file system or the modern variants of IBM’s General Parallel File System (GPFS), known previously as Spectrum Scale and now known as IBM Storage Scale, as the storage underpinning of their applications. …

How Sustainable Is This Crazy Server Spending?
We can all talk until we are blue in the face about how weird it is for so much money to be spent on servers during the GenAI boom, but after reviewing the latest market report from IDC – which is one again but sporadically giving out some stats to the public – we thought that to feel the full impact of this change, we should draw you a picture of the past 26 years of server revenues by quarter so you can take it all in. …
