Moving to PCI Express based SSD with NVM ExpressOdinot Stanislas
Une très bonne présentation qui introduit la technologie NVM Express qui sera à coup sure l'interface du futur (proche) des "disques" SSD. Adieu SAS et SATA, bienvenu au PCI Express dans les serveurs (et postes clients)
NVMe PCIe and TLC V-NAND It’s about TimeDell World
With an explosion in data and the relentless growth in demand for information, identifying a much more efficient means of storage has become extremely important. In this session, we will cover the key drivers behind the need for faster and more efficient storage. NVMe, a standardized protocol for PCIe-based storage, is giving users the huge leap in bandwidth required for demanding applications. Samsung, who makes the fastest NVMe SSDs on the market, will cover the benefits enabled by such technology, in areas such as fraud prevention and surgical procedures.
The technology behind flash drives – NAND memory – will be spotlighted in this presentation. Memory manufacturers have improved NAND’s value by migrating from single-level-cell to multi-level-cell designs, but the most significant evolution will be a marriage of triple-level-cell and V-NAND flash manufacturing technologies. Samsung will also provide an overview of the prospects for TLC V-NAND with mobile device manufacturers, while examining the strong potential for a much wider TLC V-NAND market in data centers.

HP 3Par StoreServ Storage: HP All Flash Array SSDUnitiv
Solid state drives are a game changer in the storage market. At this point, the performance benefits are common knowledge. But what might not be common knowledge is that SSDs have surpassed high speed spinning disk in capacity density. In the past 5 years, SSDs have increased in capacity by a magnitude of 38x while high speed spinning disks have only doubled
And HP has been helping to drive this transition by working very closely with our SSD suppliers. For example, we are the only major storage vendor to offer a 1.92 TB drive. Our patented Adaptive Sparing technology, which is unique to HP, let’s us work with the SSD vendors to take stock 1.6 TB drives and extend them to 1.92 based on the technology. That’s an increase in usable capacity per drive of up to 20%.
In June we announced this drive for the All-flash 7450 system and we are now extending this across the entire 3PAR Portfolio.
For customers that are interested in deploying Flash in smaller increments, we are also introducing a 480 cMLC Drive across the entire portfolio.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

@ the Olympic Games

reference: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/action/televisa/
To support that workflow in the Beijing studio, Televisa devised an
integrated Apple Xsan network with 30 Mac Pros running Final Cut
Studio and 50 Xserves connected via Fibre Channel using a QLogic 9200
Director-class switch, along with another 12 iMac editing stations
connected over standard Ethernet. To hold all of the generated footage,
Televisa’s network includes 200 terabytes of storage using Promise
Technology Raid arrays. The solution is designed to handle 22
simultaneous ingest channels of live footage and support the almost 50
Final Cut Pro editing workstations, mixed between offline-quality proxy
editing and online editing. The daily workload is up to 12 hours from
each of the 22 channels of incoming footage.
