    Reducing barriers to entry to foundation model training

    In the past couple of years, the world has seen the unprecedented growth and development of machine learning and AI applications, along with a huge spike in demand for new systems. This rising demand for AI services has, according to today’s guest, stifled competition to supply AI to those with a lot of resources, and caused uneven access for the rest of us. In this episode we are looking at reducing those barriers to entry, and helping more people get access to foundation model training, at less cost financially - and to the planet – with Fellow and VP at HPE, Paolo Faraboschi. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

    Geo-distributed workloads - chasing the sun to reduce our data center energy use

    In this episode, we are looking at improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of our computer workloads by shifting them around the world in real-time - something called ‘geo-distribution’. The idea involves looking at real time global energy production- ideally from renewable sources - and a load of other factors including weather, water tables and more. By comparing these factors as well as compute availability and the lag between data source and data center, you can find the most sustainable locations to perform a task. Ideally, shifting the workloads so quickly that the user doesn’t even know it’s happening. To tell us more we’re joined this week by Cullen Bash, Vice President, Research & Development at HPE, who leads the Systems Architecture Lab at Hewlett Packard Labs. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

    Zero Trust Network Access and Virtual Private Networks: The VPN vs ZTNA showdown

    In this episode we are looking at why people are moving away from Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, and are navigating towards Zero Trust Network Access, or ZTNAs. VPNs have largely been unchallenged as the go-to cyber security option for organisations since they first came about in the mid-1990s. However, they do have security flaws which have been exploited by hackers and cyber criminals, leading many to ask whether there’s a more secure solution. Joining us to discuss why ZTNA is becoming a more popular security option for organisations is Jaye Tillson, HPE’s Director of Strategy in Cyber Security. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

    Synthetic data and the next generation of AI creativity

    Today we’re discussing synthetic data - that is, data trained by AI and computer simulations, rather than gathered from the real world. Now, generating theoretical data is nothing new - we’ve been taking small samples of things and extrapolating from it for decades. However, with the advent of AI we don’t necessarily just need to extrapolate. We can generate completely new, close-to-real data using AI. But why? And why does it matter? To explain we’re joined by Chief Technology Officer for AI at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Matt Armstrong-Barnes This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
