Computer vision capabilities are having a significant impact in almost every industry, from autonomous vehicles to AI-assisted medical diagnosis. Training the machine learning (ML) algorithms used for computer vision applications creates an extremely demanding workload, requiring massive quantities of data and significant computing power. To accommodate these workloads, you can use a clustered architecture […]
AI development and production – services from the public cloud, the private cloud or in hybrid mode? More and more companies are launching AI initiatives to exploit previously undreamt-of innovation and optimization opportunities. The technology enables them to process huge data sets at high speed, analyze images, audio and text and thus improve processes […]
44 seconds. Depending on your perspective, 44 seconds can feel like an eternity or seem to speed by in an instant. For example: In 2016, 44 seconds was all Texas A&M needed to put together the biggest last-minute comeback in NCAA Division I history. To Northern Iowa, those last 44 seconds were an eternity. […]
As the senior IT manager leading the engineering team that designs and deploys data storage solutions at NetApp, I know two things: Cloud, DevOps, *aaS (anything as a service) and growing infrastructure technologies such as Kubernetes are changing the way we deliver IT and deploy modern applications. Despite the number of folks who unwittingly […]
NVMe Based Storage Makes the Difference As you probably know, we recently launched a brand new end-to-end NVMe-based storage system, NetApp® AFF A400. I sat down with NetApp Technical Marketing Engineers Chris Lueth and Scott Bell to discuss some technical advantages of the new A400. Key advantages they mentioned include how the new system offers higher performance with more advanced technology, faster host connectivity, and greater flexibility and expandability to future-proof your NetApp investment. What are some […]
In my previous blog, I discussed how simplicity and security have taken top priority with NetApp® Active IQ® Unified Manager 9.7 when it comes to managing ONTAP® systems, including AFF All SAN Arrays. I also covered how we make it simple for automation and infrastructure engineers to handle complex storage management challenges. In today’s […]
When discussing AI projects in healthcare, people usually focus on data. They talk about the availability of “clean,” labeled data to train deep learning models and the need for datasets that represent diverse patient populations. They also discuss the importance of an appropriate infrastructure to support moving those large amounts of training data (including […]
According to a recent study, credit card fraud in the United States is expected to reach $12 billion in 2020. Rules-based expert systems currently used to catch fraud have become too easy to beat. In addition to combating fraud, financial services institutions are also challenged to make the right credit decisions, improve risk management, […]
CGG can’t afford a moment of downtime. The NetApp E-Series storage solution has proven to be an ideal partner for CGG’s HPC applications. Throughout history, tools have changed the world—for example, the wheel. Paper. Printing. The internal combustion engine. Today we’re so inundated with technology that it’s easy to forget that at their […]
The IT industry continues to progress with innovative use of all-flash storage. Already proven in their superior performance and infrastructure density compared with spinning disks, all-flash products are now differentiating further through various innovations. NetApp customers who are also members of IT Central Station validate this progress in their reviews of NetApp® AFF all-flash arrays. […]
Every car needs regular maintenance checks to enable you to diagnose and fix problems early: your SAN will benefit from periodic check-ups as well.
