Thrilled to share that a Digital Twin Framework (ExaDigiT), developed in partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, is a first-of-its-kind digital twin for supercomputer data centers like Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Frontier. ExaDigiT combines workload, power, and cooling modeling with interactive dashboards, enabling optimization, what-if analysis, and virtual prototyping tailored to each system. Already in use on leadership-class systems worldwide — this innovation is transforming how we model, manage, and optimize supercomputing infrastructure. Huge congratulations to the incredible teams at ORNL and HPE who made this milestone possible! https://lnkd.in/gcA_idVa

A few months ago, we announced our work with ICC to put together a simple #SDS system, with an eye towards #Ceph users as the initial customers. Today, ScaleFlux announces the next step in "keep it simple" for Ceph. We've worked with croit to enable the use of NVMe Thin Provisioned Namespaces (TPNs) in the Ceph environment. Why? Well, with Thin Provisioned Namespaces, Ceph users can leverage the transparent compression in the ScaleFlux CSD5000 to get the benefits of data compression without suffering any penalties on quality of service (QoS) or service level agreements (SLAs). Croit has integrated use of TPNs in their Ceph management software for immediate use. Also, the code has been submitted upstream for integration into Ceph - we want to enable all users! ICC offers their RAIO storage server pre-configured with ScaleFlux CSDs and Croit SW for your complete Ceph solution. More integrations are in the works already as we work to #makedatafly for your AI and data center.

In computing, estimates aren't enough. Precision is a must! When our enterprise customers buy a ThinkPad, they choose a specific configuration tailored to their needs, and historically, the industry has relied on broad portfolio averages to estimate a product's carbon footprint. Together with Makersite, we're changing that dynamic. Instead of a single, conservative carbon number for an entire product line, we can now provide a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for exact configurations. Whatever the spec choices, we'll be able to show you exactly how those choices influence the final footprint in real-time. This will help not only in sales tenders, but in our own research & development. It's a key pillar of our R.E.A.L Framework, specifically our commitment to Life Cycle Intelligence. We're embedding carbon measurement into the heart of how we build and sell our products. Love this partnership and all it will deliver for us & for our customers!

Quantinuum’s planned IPO is the moment quantum finally hits the public markets in grown‑up form. This isn’t another early‑stage SPAC story; it’s a full‑stack platform spun out of Honeywell, with trapped‑ion hardware that regularly tops industry benchmarks and a real software and applications business on top. By combining industrial‑grade engineering with production‑grade tooling in chemistry, security, and optimization, Quantinuum gives investors exposure not just to “qubits,” but to an integrated quantum stack that already serves enterprise workloads. For technical and business leaders, as well as investors, the key question now is how public markets will price a quantum company that actually looks like an infrastructure and software provider rather than a speculative science project. Whatever the final valuation, this IPO will likely become the benchmark for what “mature” looks like in quantum—deep IP, differentiated hardware, and diversified revenue experiments before ringing the bell.

This week’s update from WD was one of the more substantive I’ve seen. Having been in a position of advising on high-density platforms, what stood out wasn’t just bigger drives, but how well the technology aligns with real AI infrastructure constraints—bandwidth, power, and the ability to scale without re-architecting. The 40TB UltraSMR ePMR drive is already shipping, with a clear path to higher densities through parallel ePMR and HAMR adoption. HBDT, Dual Pivot Technology, and the move toward open, platform-level APIs signal that high-density HDD isn’t standing still—it’s getting smarter and more performant where it matters. Looking forward to what’s next. https://lnkd.in/gFB6WdZG

AI's Incredible Pace -- The design & deployment process for accelerated compute AI data centers differs from traditional #datacenters as the pace of #AI chip development is on a lightning-fast cycle. Forbes Technology Council has released my new article, which addresses the extreme challenges for companies that want to deploy the latest #GPUs immediately as they must develop all new designs for the rising power densities. I detail a 3-pronged approach for organizations approaching this rapidly changing landscape.
