Amid the artificial intelligence boom, demand for AI chips has exploded. But this push for chips also creates new challenges for countries and companies. How will countries cope with the huge amounts of energy these chips consume? Will anyone compete with Nvidia to supply the AI chips of the future? And can China develop its own chips to fuel its own AI development? James Kynge visits a data centre to find out how advanced AI chips are causing new problems for the sector. In Phoenix, Arizona, James meets Mark Bauer, co-leader with JLL's Data Center Solutions group, and Frank Eichenhorst, vice president of data centre operations at PhoenixNAP. How will the clash of titans play out between NVIDIA and Big Tech? And we hear from Amir Salek, senior managing director at Cerberus Capital and the brains behind Google's TPU chip; Tamay Besiroglu, associate director of Epoch AI; Dylan Patel, lead analyst at consulting firm SemiAnalysis; and the FT's global tech correspondent Tim Bradshaw to find out more about the battle for AI chips.

Here I talk about different avenues within cyber security. We use terms such as red team, blue team, and purple team when discussing offense, defense, and a merger of the two. I'll go over different technologies, teams that cover each of these areas and jobs that involve each team. We have these teams and terms due to the size and complexity of the overall cyber security profession. This episode provides a lot of insight on technologies and jobs to help listeners better focus on their cyber security journey.Send comments, questions, and episode ideas to: cybergreybeard@gmail.com RedscanRed Team Tools by Goran JevticMedium Article by Anil YelkenCrowdstrike CTIHalborn exploit development by Rob BehnkeFRSecureNodeZeroCyber RangesCISA Tabletop exercise packagesFor those interested in supporting Josh, my mentee looking to relocate to Canada and study cyber security, please visit GiveSendGo.

In this episode I talk with William Bell, EVP of Products at PhoenixNAP. PhoenixNAP was evolved from the need to consolidate network connectivity and offer colocation and cloud to Phoenix. From there it grew world wide by offering scalable, secure, and reliable, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings. PhoenixNAP uses a custom portal and their own set of APIs to enable the rapid creation of cloud services. Strong in IaaS, Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service, I talk with William about how developing security products and looking ahead to the next wave of infrastructure hosting for cloud native workloads based on Bare Metal Cloud offerings is allowing pNAP to innovate and lead in the service provider market. PhoenixNAP was founded in 1996 and started trading as that entity in 2009. The company is headquartered in the Greater Phoenix Area, Arizona Technology and Technology Partners Mentioned VMware, Veeam, IaaS, BaaS, DRaaS, Kubernetes, Containers, DELL, Cisco, NetApp, Zerto, VMware Cloud Director Web: https://phoenixnap.com/ Bare Metal Cloud: https://phoenixnap.com/bare-metal-cloud Interested in being on #GTwGT? https://launch.gtwgt.com Music: https://www.bensound.com
