Intel made a couple of big moves this week. The first was the surprise news that they are exiting the server market. No, they aren’t giving up on Xeons and they are going to get Sapphire Rapids out the door. Instead, they are selling off their server integration business. The recipient of this windfall is MiTAC, an edge-to-cloud solutions provider and ODM partner of DSG. Intel is giving MiTAC the rights to manufacture existing designs. In addition, they announced the end of their Blockscale ASIC line which was used primarily by Bitcoin miners. Intel said that they are continuing to focus on IDM 2.0 operations. Stephen, we’ve talked a lot about Intel but the transformation seems to be accelerating!
The term “lock in” gets thrown around a lot in IT. It’s the reason why we spend so much time engineering solutions that don’t make us dependent on technologies. But does it really matter in the long run? Is the treatment for lock in really better in the end? Does it matter if it’s in the enterprise or in the cloud? And are we finding ourselves locked in slowly or all at once? In this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Jody Lemoine, Snehal Patel, and Steve Puluka join Tom Hollingsworth to discuss the pros and cons of lock in and how it might not be as bad as you’re imagining.
How can you be sure your departing employees aren’t taking all their data with them? Can you afford to trust them? Tom Hollingsworth gets an update from Concentric AI and how they’re working to solve off-boarding challenges with their platform.
Searching through data is harder than you think. Tom Hollingsworth sits down with Nick Heudecker from Cribl to learn about how they’re changing the way that companies use search functions to find security issues.
Every piece of software has an API now. If you want to interact with the program you’re going to need to write a program of your own. Are you ready to learn? Should companies still be expected to have a CLI available for the non-programmers? And does the ease of accessing a published API create more problems than it solves? In this episode of the On-Premise IT Podcast, Tom Hollingsworth, Jody Lemoine, and Steve Puluka discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having easy access to everything at your fingertips via the API.
Get ready for Networking Field Day 31 happening April 12-13, 2023! Read on for more details about the presentation schedule.
If you’re ready to start building out IoT networks and you want access to the largest one around Amazon is ready for you. Amazon Sidewalk is now open for developers to start testing. Sidewalk is Amazon’s IoT-focused solution for edge devices that utilizes both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and 900 MHz wireless networks to provide coverage. Sidewalk is generated from Amazon’s Ring cameras and Echo speakers and has 90% coverage across the US according to reports. Tom, what’s Amazon hoping to accomplish with this rollout? This and more on this week’s Rundown.
Computing pioneer and Intel co-founder Gordon Moore has died. His name is commonly used in reference to Moore’s Law, which stated that processors would be exponentially more complex, but he was much more than this. Moore was a visionary, who guided Intel through the DRAM market in the early years and then lead the transition of the company to lay the foundation for modern microcomputers. He quiet and polite, unlike Robert Noyce and Andy Grove, but everyone trusted Moore’s thoughtful and considered decisions. Moore learned from his mistakes, notably a foray into the digital watch market, and was able to lead while allowing others to have their own autonomy. In a way, Moore created Silicon Valley but was entirely unlike what it has become. We could surely use more leaders in the mold of Gordon Moore!
