Much of what we take for granted in the IT industry was seeded from HPC and the national labs. This episode of Utilizing Tech features Gary Grider, HPC Division Leader at Los Alamos National Labs, discussing leading-edge technology with Scott Shadley of Solidigm and Stephen Foskett. The Efficient Mission Centric Computing Consortium (EMC3) is working to bring technologies like sparse memory access and computational storage to life. These technologies are designed for today's massive scale data sets, but Moore's Law suggests that this scale might be coming soon to AI applications and beyond. The goal of the national labs is to work 5-10 years ahead of the market to lay the foundations for what will be needed in the future. Specific products like InfiniBand, Lustre, pNFS, and more were driven forward by these labs as well. Some promising future directions include 3D chip scaling, analog and biological computing, and quantum chips.Guest: Gary Grider, HPC Division Leader at Los Alamos National LabsHosts: Stephen Foskett, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the Tech Field Day Event SeriesJeniece Wnorowski, Head of Influencer Marketing at Solidigm Scott Shadley, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at SolidigmFollow Tech Field Day on LinkedIn, on X/Twitter, on Bluesky, and on Mastodon.

As the use of AI spreads outside the cloud and datacenter, data management and protection has never been more important. This episode of Utilizing Tech, sponsored by Solidigm, features Rick Vanover of Veeam discussing the importance of data protection with hosts Stephen Foskett and Scott Shadley. Data protection for backup and security is familiar in the datacenter but is not always considered at the edge. But as AI and sensors push data to the edge, we have to consider how to protect and manage it. Edge AI systems combine elements of endpoint, datacenter, and cloud technologies and often have limited or intermittent connectivity, creating a differentiated platform that challenges data protection software. Mixing these capabilities to build a useful platform is the key challenge for data protection at the edge. Data protection at the edge is different, with continuity and recovery from outages and attacks more important than long-term preservation of data, and IT pros are beginning to adjust their perspectives on the requirements for these systems as well.Guest:Rick Vanover, Vice President of Product Strategy at VeeamHosts: Stephen Foskett, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the Tech Field Day Event SeriesScott Shadley, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at SolidigmFollow Tech Field Day on LinkedIn, on X/Twitter, on Bluesky, and on Mastodon.

Modern AI servers are loaded with GPUs, but spend too much time waiting for data. This episode of Utilizing Tech, focused on AI at the Edge with Solidigm, features Kelley Osburn of Graid Technology discussing the latest in data protection and acceleration with Scott Shadley and Stephen Foskett. As more businesses invest in GPUs to train and deploy AI models, they are discovering how difficult it is to keep these expensive compute clusters fed. GPUs are idled when data retrieval is too slow, and failures or errors could prove catastrophic. Graid not only protects data but also accelerates access, allowing users to achieve the full potential of their AI server investment.Guest: Kelley Osburn, Senior Director of OEM and Channel Business Development at Graid TechnologyHosts: Stephen Foskett, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the Tech Field Day Event SeriesScott Shadley, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at SolidigmFollow Tech Field Day on LinkedIn, on X/Twitter, on Bluesky, and on Mastodon.

Today's storage devices (disks and SSDs) have processors and memory already, and this is the concept of computational storage. If drives can process data locally, they can relieve the burden of communication and processing and help reduce the amount of data that gets to the CPU or GPU. In this episode, Vladimir Alves and Scott Shadley join Chris Grundemann and Stephen Foskett to discuss the AI implications of computational storage. Modern SSDs already process data, including encryption and compression, and they are increasingly taking on applications like machine learning. Just as industrial IoT and edge computing is taking on ML processing, so too are storage devices. Current applications for ML on computational storage include local processing of images and video for recognition and language processing, but these devices might even be able to execute ML training locally as in the case of federated learning. Three Questions Are there any jobs that will be completely eliminated by AI in the next five years? Can you think of any fields that have not yet been touched by AI? How small can ML get? Will we have ML-powered household appliances? Toys? Disposable devices? Guests and Hosts Vladimir Alves, CTO and Co-Founder at NGD Systems. Connect with Vladimir on LinkedIn.

Global society is creating more data than ever before, and with every passing day, more information is created, demanding storage space. So where does it all go? Cloud storage has largely come to the rescue for our data storage needs, but even now the cloud technology is reaching a plateau. So how do we innovate data storage for the demands of the future? Our guests today on this episode of the MarketScale Software & Technology Podcast are here to answer that question. Scott Shadley, vice president of marketing for NGD Systems, and Andy Lee, director of product & marketing for EchoStreams, join us to discuss the history of cloud storage, the areas for innovation in this technology, and how these changes can transform how we think of storing data. “Compute, memory and storage,” Shadley said is how we have traditionally compartmentalized the processing of data—as single items paired together. But NGD and EchoStreams are turning this concept on its head with the concept of “computational storage.” This idea adds an engine to cloud storage, processing, and shrinking data using a “lower power envelope.” The need for an energy-efficient data storage solution is no more apparent than in Amsterdam, where the city has banned the building of future data centers because of its enormous demand for power. As Shadley said, “the amount of data we are generating today is astronomical,” and we only continue needing more storage. The solution to the issue isn't in building more storage centers, but by making the way we store data more efficient. “Stop treating peoples data as just 0's, and 1's being stored on a brick, but make that storage device, that brick, be able to do something with those 0's and 1's in a more effective and efficient way,” Shadley said. The global demand for storage makes the issue of efficient storage all the more pressing, and a predictor that this technology has staying power.
