New Reference Architecture for AI Workloads Promises Storage Boost A reference architecture that combines VAST Data’s LightSpeed universal storage platform with NVIDIA’s DGX A100 universal AI system can handle petabyte-scale AI workloads without performance lags.
As enterprises embrace artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning to glean more value from data and make better business decisions, many are running into storage roadblocks. Often, traditional scale-out file and object storage platforms simply don’t have the horsepower to run these processes, especially if they must be run in real time.
To address these issues, VAST Data teamed with NVIDIA to build a reference architecture that can handle petabyte-scale AI workloads without performance lags. The joint reference architecture, which combines VAST Data’s LightSpeed universal storage platform with NVIDIA’s DGX A100 universal AI system, delivers more than 170GB/s of throughput for both GPU-inte
The transition to remote working has been a revelation for many traditional office staff, yet concerns over data security risks are rising. Mark Harper of HSM explains why businesses and their remote workers must remain vigilant when it comes to physical document security in homes.
Pre-pandemic, home offices were often that neglected room in people’s homes. But now things are different. After the initial lockdown in 2020, 46.6% of UK workers did some work at home with 86% of those doing so because of the pandemic.
Semi-permanent workspaces
Since then, many have found that over time, those semi-permanent workspaces have become slightly more permanent – with official hybrid working coming into effect for an assortment of businesses and their teams. The adoption of hybrid working can in fact be seen as one of the few positives to come from the pandemic, with less travel, more freedom and higher productivity top of the benefits list for businesses and their employees.

Interview At its virtual re:Invent conference, AWS presented faster block storage based on its custom Nitro hardware, strong consistency in its longstanding S3 (Simple Storage Service), and a solution for users forced to buy more storage capacity when all they needed was greater throughput.
Although storage is less trendy than areas like artificial intelligence, getting it right has a big impact on performance and cost. Just after re:Invent, we spoke to Storage VP Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec about the range of options on AWS, including new ones just announced. Do customers struggle to make the best choices?

Two thousand servers containing 45 million images of X-rays and other medical scans were left online during the course of the past twelve months, freely accessible by anyone, with no security protections at all.
Or so says research by CybelAngel, which sells a Digital Risk Protection Platform. Not only was the sensitive personal information unsecured, but malicious folk had also accessed those servers and poisoned them with apparent malware, the company added. The fact that we did not use any hacking tools throughout our research highlights the ease with which we were able to discover and access these files, said David Sygula, a senior cybersecurity analyst at CybelAngel and author of the firm s report.
