Some of you listening might be thinking that Wifi 6 only launched a couple of years ago, and, well, you'd be forgiven for doing so. Launched in 2020, its rollour was hamstrung by COVID and the standard only became dominant in the last year or two. But now there's a new standard: WiFi 7. It's due to be ratified by the end of this year, although it's already appearing in certain products. It promises a huge boost to the speeds and latency of Wifi, giving a wired-like experience.So, is it time to upgrade… again? This week we're joined by Darrel Rhodes. He's a Consulting Systems Engineer at HPE Aruba Networking. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode we are looking at the growing market for no code or low code app development. The premise is simple. Rather than coding an app or tool yourself, you simply drag and drop pre-existing components, data sources, and data outputs into a map, and set the actions to whatever you need. However, there are challenges, including the creation of shadow IT systems within an organization, and giving non-experts the ability to interact - potentially destructively - with your data. Joining us today to discuss the challenges and opportunities is Richard Kerridge, a strategist in HPE Education Services customer team.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

2024 has already been a difficult year for extreme weather. The hurricane season on the eastern seaboard of North America is already one of the earliest active seasons on record. Meanwhile, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US, as of August 8th, this year has already seen 19 weather events cause damage upwards of a billion dollars, with 149 people left dead. That's in the US alone.So, how are supercomputing and high performance computing helping to mitigate the effects of such extreme weather? Joining us to discuss is Ilene Carpenter, Earth Sciences segment manager at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Machine-learning based Generative AI is inherently inefficient. Training models by sifting findings again and again until a suitable output is generated is a time-consuming – end energy-consuming – process. So, could there be a better way to look at training our AI systems? Well, one possible option is physics-based AI, where training is viewed as an energy grid, and the best possible route though that grid mapped to find outputs. It's a novel way of thinking, but it could change our whole approach to AI.Joining us again today to find out more is Ray Beausoleil, a physicist, senior fellow and senior vice president at HPE.

There are math problems that are hard. So hard that even current computers cannot solve them. To get around these problems, we need to re-think the very foundation of how we architect our IT, by using a technological field called 'novel accelerators'.It sounds complicated, but today's guest is particularly skilled at explaining incredibly complicated concepts. He says: "Right now, Generative AI and accelerators are at the forefront of being able to help with these major advances, and the world could change in really significant ways. Medicine, materials, energy, information technology... to harness these systems to help us - not to replace us."

In this episode, we'll be taking you on a trip to London for the final race weekend of the 10th season of the Formula E championship, which was held on the weekend of the 20th and 21st July. We've been looking at the tech behind the event, how Formula E is transforming the world of racing, and what our organisations can learn from the cutting edge of motorsport.One of those areas is in training and familiarity. Knowing the circuit and how the car will behave at any given moment is obviously a huge advantage. But how do you work that out when you've only got the race weekend?Well, one way is to use track and car simulations - essentially, incredibly accurate digital twins of a racetrack with a full suite of driving controls and simulated movement, where drivers can test their setups in a variety of conditions, to prepare for race day. Here to talk more about that are this week's guests, from Maserati MSG racing: Cyril Blais, deputy team principal, and driver Maximillian Günther.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Subscription-based IT is becoming increasingly popular – not just for software, but also for hardware. This means our IT is increasingly not a capital investment, but an operational expense, which means different people are paying for it from different budgets. And those people aren't always the most IT savvy.So, what does this mean for our organisations, and how do we make sure that the right people are being educated to ask the right questions when it comes to IT? To help us unravel what's going on, we're joined today by Bob Panos, senior VP of Sales and Strategic Partnerships at American Digital.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In the past couple of years, the world has seen the unprecedented growth and development of machine learning and AI applications, along with a huge spike in demand for new systems. This rising demand for AI services has, according to today's guest, stifled competition to supply AI to those with a lot of resources, and caused uneven access for the rest of us. In this episode we are looking at reducing those barriers to entry, and helping more people get access to foundation model training, at less cost financially - and to the planet – with Fellow and VP at HPE, Paolo Faraboschi.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode, we are looking at improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of our computer workloads by shifting them around the world in real-time - something called ‘geo-distribution'.The idea involves looking at real time global energy production- ideally from renewable sources - and a load of other factors including weather, water tables and more. By comparing these factors as well as compute availability and the lag between data source and data center, you can find the most sustainable locations to perform a task. Ideally, shifting the workloads so quickly that the user doesn't even know it's happening. To tell us more we're joined this week by Cullen Bash, Vice President, Research & Development at HPE, who leads the Systems Architecture Lab at Hewlett Packard Labs.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode, we're exploring the backbone of AI – network fabrics. The network fabric is the backbone of the data centre - keeping everything together between the storage, compute, and users. It's much more than patch cables, it's a finely balanced, interconnected process ecosystem. With the advent of AI, the demands on those network fabrics are changing, putting pressure on our compute resources, as well as on our energy usage. So what can be done, and can AI help optimize itself? To find out more, we're joined by Puneet Sharma, director of Hewlett Packard Labs' Networking and Distributed Systems Lab.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
