The global market for databases grew by 12.8% in 2023, according research by Gartner, and is now worth some $102bn annually. Within that, data science and AI platforms were the fastest-growing subsegments.

Clearly, there’s a growing need for smart database solutions that can interpret data and provide insights to all levels and roles within an organization. And it’s one of those solutions we’re looking into today - HPE’s Intelligent Data Platform. Joining us today to find out more is Rangan Sukumar, a distinguished technologist in the chief technology office at HPE, responsible for HPC and AI.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

In this episode we are looking at the dilemma being faced by organisations across the world when it comes to moving forward with innovations in technology, whilst also being wary of cyber security issues.

In fact, according to research by HPE Aruba Networking, just under two thirds of IT leaders believe their companies are missing out for that very reason. Here to discuss an approach to balancing security and innovation is  HPE Chief Security Officer, Bobby Ford.

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 i...

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 La...

In this episode, we explore the critical work Interpol is doing to combat international cybercrime. Cyberattacks like phishing, ransomware, and data breaches are becoming increasingly sophisticated, posing significant challenges to governments, businesses, and international police.
We’ll be looking at the organization's strategies for prevention, detection, investigation, and disruption of cybercriminal activities, with today’s guest, Craig Jones, Director of Cybercrime at Interpol.
