Lenovo Claims NVMe Memory Tiering Can Cut VMware Costs by 45%
📅 - Lenovo says VMware Cloud Foundation Advanced Memory Tiering on ThinkAgile VX can cut memory costs by up to 45% by using NVMe as a secondary tier alongside DRAM. The approach is aimed at private cloud operators trying to raise VM density and run larger workloads without expanding expensive memory footprints at the same rate across existing infrastructure.
The number is attention-grabbing, but it needs qualification. Lenovo's estimate is based on its own cost analysis of selected 1TB memory configurations using DRAM and NVMe against systems configured entirely with DRAM. Actual savings depend on workload and configuration. So this is not a blanket 45% reduction in VMware infrastructure [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - HPE Data Center Networking Revenue Jumps 112% on AI Demand - HPE's data center networking revenue more than doubled in its fiscal third quarter, rising 112.2% year over year to $382 million as demand for AI infrastructure broadened beyond servers. Routing revenue surged 270% to $788 million, while server sales climbed 35.3% to $6.8 billion, underscoring how accelerated computing is reshaping infrastructure spending across enterprise infrastructure.
The networking numbers are the more revealing part of the quarter for data center operators. Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported total networking revenue of $2.9 billion, up 74.9%, with campus and branch revenue increasing 31% to $1.4 billion and security revenue rising 75.6% to $281 million. Data center [...]
📅 - GTZHost Publishes Technical Tutorial on Fine-Tuning Meta's Llama 3 on NVIDIA A100 GPU Servers - As enterprise adoption of open-source Artificial Intelligence continues to accelerate, customizing base models for specialized business tasks has become a primary objective for data science teams. Meta’s Llama 3 stands out as one of the most capable open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) available today. However, because it functions as a general-purpose model out of the box, enterprises must fine-tune it on proprietary datasets to handle domain-specific workflows such as specialized medical reporting, proprietary code generation, or automated financial analysis.The Computational Demands of LLM Fine-Tuning Fine-tuning a modern LLM requires massive parallel c
📅 - GTZHost Releases Comprehensive Tutorial on Implementing Redis Caching for Enterprise WooCommerce Stores - As global e-commerce continues to scale rapidly, online retailers repeatedly face significant infrastructure challenges during high-traffic events like Black Friday and flash sales. Recognizing that database exhaustion is the leading cause of unexpected downtime for WooCommerce platforms, GTZHost has published an in-depth technical tutorial detailing how to deploy and configure Redis Object Caching on Ubuntu-based server environments.The WooCommerce Database Bottleneck WooCommerce is a highly robust e-commerce platform, but it is notoriously database-heavy. Every time a customer browses a product, adds an item to their shopping cart, or proceeds to checkout, W
📅 - NetIX Extends Peering Reach Across Eight Russian MSK-IX Hubs - NetIX has expanded direct connectivity into Russia by linking its platform to MSK-IX across eight major metropolitan hubs, from Moscow to Vladivostok. The deployment gives NetIX members broader access to Russian networks and hosted content, while allowing MSK-IX participants to reach NetIX locally through nearby points of presence rather than relying on more centralized interconnection paths today.
The expansion covers Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Kazan, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok. For carriers, content providers, hosting companies and other networks using NetIX, the useful part is geographic reach. Traffic destined for Russian networks can be exchanged [...]
📅 - $12.93B Hugging Face Acquisition Extends NVIDIA Beyond GPU Infrastructure - NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion, bringing one of the largest open model platforms under the control of the dominant supplier of artificial intelligence accelerators. The transaction could reshape how developers reach models, infrastructure and inference services, while forcing cloud providers and enterprise buyers to reassess how neutral that distribution layer remains today.
Hugging Face sits at an increasingly important junction between models and the infrastructure used to evaluate, customize and deploy them. More than 18 million developers, researchers and creators use the platform, which hosts more than 3 million models, 500,000 datasets and 1 million [...]
📅 - OVHcloud Brings Portable Plakar Backup Into Its Public Cloud - OVHcloud is bringing Plakar's backup technology directly into its Public Cloud, giving customers a managed way to protect virtual machines, Kubernetes, databases, file systems and AI workloads while keeping control of encryption keys. The service also promises portable recovery outside OVHcloud, a design aimed at reducing operational sprawl without turning backup into another source of cloud dependence.
The integration lands in a part of cloud infrastructure that remains surprisingly fragmented. Enterprises routinely protect different workloads with different backup products, storage targets and operating procedures. That is manageable until environments spread across containers, managed [...]
