Ultra Ethernet Consortium Founded & Event Season is Heating Up | Gestalt IT Rundown: August 2, 2023

Published: Aug. 2, 2023, 6:17 p.m.

Some of the biggest names in the HPC and hyperconvergence space are banding together to standardize Ethernet. The new Ultra Ethernet Consortium counts AMD, Broadcom, Cisco, HPE, Intel, and others as founding members. Chairman J. Metz says the goal of the consortium is to tune Ethernet for workloads with specific performance requirements. The companies invovled are selling very high speed Ethernet focused on HPC and AI workloads. Notably absent in the list is NVIDIA. \n\nLive events are back, baby! It's event season, and hotels are filling up for in-person tech events. But the pandemic has changed everything, including event participation. What should we expect from returning favorites like re:Invent, in-flux standbys like VMware Explore, and smaller events like Flash Memory Summit? This and more on this week's Gestalt IT Rundown. \n\nTime Stamps:
