AWS Bolsters High Performance Computing Offering With NICE Acquisition



The National Institute of Standards and Technology is looking for three high-performance computers to bolster a cluster used by researchers at its headquarters within 60 days of a contract award, according to a request for quotes.




AWS Bolsters High Performance Computing Offering With NICE Acquisition




Cycle Computing makes a product that allows customers with special high-performance computing needs to run their outsized workflows across multiple cloud providers. Novartis and NASA are among the customers of its flagship product, which organizes computing clusters and scales computing resources as needed to finish jobs submitted by those customers.


With the acquisition of Integrien, VMware added to the capabilities of our vCenter management product line, offering a new level of automation and control to support virtualized applications and cloud infrastructures. The dynamic nature of virtualized infrastructures and cloud environments require a new kind of management software that can handle ever-changing configurations, pinpoint performance issues and fundamentally improve how IT service levels are managed.


The acquisition of Gemstone by Springsource, a division of VMware, enhanced VMware's suite of application infrastructure software with an important middleware capability. As we continue delivering platform as a service (PaaS) solutions that can work in customer datacenters or at service providers, GemFire will help customer solve the data management challenges of cloud-based architectures. GemFire is of high value today in mission-critical enterprise applications and will continue to play a strategic role for companies moving into the cloud, whether public, private or hybrid.


Jason Zander, vice president of Microsoft Azure, said the acquisition gives the public cloud vendor a combination of file system and caching technologies. Avere works with animation studios that run computing intensive workloads, and the deal is expected to give Microsoft entrée into those media and entertainment sectors.


Nutanix is a global leader in cloud software and hyperconverged infrastructure solutions, making infrastructure invisible so that IT can focus on the applications and services that power their business. Companies around the world use Nutanix Enterprise Cloud OS software to bring one-click application management and mobility across public, private and distributed edge clouds so they can run any application at any scale with a dramatically lower total cost of ownership. The result is organizations that can rapidly deliver a high-performance IT environment on demand, giving application owners a true cloud-like experience.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE:HPE) has made all the right moves over the last 12 months - it has trimmed the fat from its cost structure, improved execution, and increased its exposure to next-generation technologies such as all flash-storage and high-performance computing (HPC).


However, HPE is being punished for having lower exposure to safer, contractual revenue streams compared to its software orientated peers. But management is working to fix investor perception by making moves in the right areas, e.g., the pay-as-you-go combined software and hardware solutions market. Plus, with the onset of the Data Era, which calls for enterprises to invest in storage, networking, and computing (particularly high-performance computing, to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning), HPE stands to be a key beneficiary.


HPE's recent strategy has been to make small to mid-sized acquisitions to plug holes in its portfolio, for example, Aruba (data networking solutions), Nimble (predictive flash storage), and SimpliVity (IT infrastructure). These acquisitions have all benefited from expanded distribution under HPE's umbrella and provided a low-risk path to higher earnings-per-share. The acquisition of Cray aligns with this strategy.


Continued leadership in high-performance computing (HPC) as it enters the exascale era remains a key pillar of U.S. industrial competitiveness, economic power, and national security readiness. Policymakers need to sustain investments in HPC applications, infrastructure, and skills to keep America at the leading edge.


With this acquisition, IBM expands its rich Adobe service offering to meet the rising client demand for experience-led business transformation backed by intelligent workflows. Employees at all levels are expected to work faster and smarter with improved visibility, speed and quality in the face of unpredictable challenges. Adobe Workfront accelerates digital work by breaking down siloes and improving efficiency, quality and control of the entire work management lifecycle.


Intel is betting on a $2 billion acquisition of artificial intelligence (AI)-focused startup Habana Labs to bolster its position in the highly competitive data center processor space that the chip giant predicts will be worth more than $25 billion by 2024. Analysts noted the move could also highlight issues with its current Nervana platform.


With the addition of Optimized Flow Insertion (OFI), DOCA FLOW now offers a new way to manage the packet steering table of the DPU, offering several additional benefits. These include an increased flow insertion rate with more than a 10X performance increase for scaling to over 1M rules/sec. An improved security posture that eliminates the ability to hijack the underlying driver, and more flexibility are also key features.


Systems that offer observability go beyond prior application performance monitoring (APM) programs, offering a high-level overview of IT infrastructure as well as granular metrics, to allow for efficient application, network, data, and security management.


According to our research, more than 50% of providers are struggling with the flood of offerings in the market: They cite concerns about missing high-impact new solutions or simply feeling overwhelmed by the number of offerings to evaluate. Additionally, during the pandemic, many providers adopted new technology solutions across a broad set of clinical and operational areas. As a result, many are emerging from Covid-19 with greater complexity in their tech stacks than ever before. In fact, a quarter of all providers claim that their existing tech stacks keep them too busy to stay current on new offerings in the market (see Figure 7). Tangentially, providers cite lack of cross-solution interoperability and poor EMR integration with existing tech stacks as some of the top pain points with their existing tech stacks, further illustrating the unique challenge of the current environment (see Figure 8). While the 21st Century Cures Act offers some promise for beginning to address these issues, material change has not yet occurred, and many providers remain skeptical about whether this regulation will bring about a real shift.


Software players should ensure their GTM messaging is aligned with providers' current challenges, emphasizing measurable financial and clinical ROIs of their products while underscoring differentiated security protocols and/or functionality. Additionally, they should consider bolt-on acquisitions to create sticky platform offerings. 2ff7e9595c
