US data centres consumed an estimated 17.4 billion gallons of water on site in 2023, but national totals obscure the decisive questions: local supply, seasonal demand, electricity-related water…
HPE’s first AMD-powered ProLiant Gen13 systems make the case that enterprise AI isn’t just a GPU procurement exercise. The DL525, DL585a, XD245 and XD285 address the CPU, memory, I/O and operational infrastructure that supports AI services, conventional applications and accelerator-heavy clusters.
STT-MRAM stores bits as magnetic states, retaining data when power is cut. It has high write endurance and is already used in embedded non-volatile memory, but it has not displaced NAND flash because cost per bit and write-current constraints still matter.
Windows Server 2025 tightens defaults that affect authentication, directory traffic and shared storage. Microsoft’s OSConfig provides a baseline starting point, but the practical question is where stricter LDAP, Kerberos and SMB behaviour will break legacy apps and workflows before you roll it out.
If you’re choosing between HPE Alletra Storage MP and Pure Storage FlashArray, the deciding factors are less about flash performance and more about operating model: protocol fit, management approach (GreenLake vs Evergreen), upgrade behaviour and the level of control you want over the storage estate.
Azure Backup and Veeam are often compared as if they were interchangeable. They are not. Azure Backup is a Microsoft-native service with tight Azure integration and sensible protections for Microsoft-centric estates. Veeam is a broader backup platform built for mixed infrastructure, migration, and recovery control. The right choice depends less on branding and more on what you need to protect, where it lives, and how much operational flexibility you want.
US data centres consumed an estimated 17.4 billion gallons of water on site in 2023, but national totals obscure the decisive questions: local supply, seasonal demand, electricity-related water use and who funds new capacity.
Critical unauthenticated code execution in specified Silicon One-based Cisco Nexus 9000 switches can give a reachable attacker root privileges and reload the device. Operators should urgently establish exposure, restrict access and upgrade using Cisco’s platform-specific guidance.
In 2026 the choice is less about which hypervisor is “best” and more about which operating model matches your licensing, management, storage and exit strategy. Hyper-V suits Microsoft-heavy estates; Proxmox fits Linux-first teams, especially with clearer subscription handling and newer distributed management.
A practical comparison of HPE Alletra MP and Dell PowerStore for enterprise storage buyers who care about protocol fit, operational model, resilience and long-term platform direction — not brochure language.
For most of the past two decades, VMware was the unquestioned standard for enterprise virtualisation. It delivered stability, enterprise features, and a broad ecosystem of tools and support.…
