Reading Time: 2 minutesDuring the last A3 Communications Technology Live! in London, I’ve got the opportunity to meet FADU and know more about their product and their business model. FADU is a fabless semiconductor company innovating flash storage technology and supply chain, that is supplying eSSDcontrollers to multiple NAND partner. Actually three generations of controllers are in mass production :
Reading Time: 4 minutesVMware ESXi 8 has dropped the compatibility with a lot of old CPU models, as describiled in Broadcom’s article 318697 (CPU Support Deprecation and Discontinuation In vSphere Releases). The result if the following error message if you try to install ESXi 8 on a server with an unsupported CPU:
Reading Time: 3 minutesDuring the VMware Explore 2024 in Las Vegas, VMware has introduced the new VMware Cloud Foundation 9 and described some of its features. One of them was Confidential Computing with TDX: a way to provide advanced security by isolating and encrypting workloads, ensuring data integrity and privacy at the hypervisor level. But what is TDX?
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series is designed to maximize bandwidth with the new high-bandwidth memory (HBM). This new processor is architected to unlock performance and speed discoveries in data-intensive workloads, such as modeling, artificial intelligence, deep learning, high performance computing (HPC) and data analytics.
Reading Time: 3 minutesGPU support in VMware vSphere has been for a while starting with the VDI scenario. But can GPUs be used in vSphere for applications other than VDI? Using GPU not for graphics but for computing… because for some type of operation, GPU can be better than CPU. For example, machine learning models involve very large matrix multiplications and GPUs are designed to compute these operations much faster than CPUs. VMware vSphere allows your end users to consume GPUs in VMs in the same way they do in any GPU-enabled public cloud instance or on bare […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesA Data Processing Unit (DPU) is a programmable computer processor that tightly integrates a general-purpose CPU with network interface hardware. In VMware, starting with vSphere 8.0, DPU can be used to offload workloads from an x86 host to a DPU, as well as providing an additional layer of security by having an air-gapped environment running some of the processes. This is the result of Project Monterey.
Reading Time: 3 minutesA Data Processing Unit (DPU) is a programmable computer processor that is usally tightly integrates a general-purpose CPU with network interface card (NIC) hardware. Sometimes they are called “IPUs” (for “Infrastructure Processing Unit”) or “SmartNICs” (because actually they are implemented in some special Network Interface Cards).
