Dell Sets Up For A Killer Spike In AI Server Sales

1 week ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

Back in February, Dell, the world’s largest server maker, told Wall Street that it was planning on selling and delivering $15 billion in AI servers in its fiscal 2026, when will end in early November. Sales were a little more tepid than we and many on Wall Street had expected in the first quarter, which ended in May. Which is not good.
Nvidia Does Not Need China, But It Craves It And That Is Risky

1 week ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

“No.”That’s probably a word that Jensen Huang, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nvidia, doesn’t hear a lot. But this is, in fact, the word from up on high – President Donald Trump, to be precise – about Nvidia being able to sell even tremendously crippled GPU accelerators into the Chinese market, which the company estimates will have a total addressable market of $50 billion “in the future,” whatever that means.
With DPU-Goosed Switches, HPE Tackles VMware, Security - And Maybe HPC And AI

1 week ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

Pendulums are always swinging back and forth in the datacenter, with functions being offloaded from one thing and onloaded to another cheaper thing that is often more flexible or faster. So it is with network functions that were originally in distinct devices, then pulled onto CPUs during the software-defined networking era by an eager Intel, then offloaded onto SmartNICs and DPUs. Now, some functions are being pulled back up into the switches and embedded in the network again.
Why We Need A Data-Centric OS For AI

1 week ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

It is a pretty bold claim for anyone to call themselves the creator of the operating system for AI. Many have done it, but because of the architectural focus shifting away from raw compute and towards sophisticated data – something more than just storage – only one or two are going to get traction and ultimately be successful selling an AI operating system.
OpenAI Datacenters Follow The Money To Abu Dhabi

All things being equal, you probably would not build a 5 gigawatt datacenter on Earth in the desert near the equator. But that is where a lot of salt domes built up under the ground, thereby entrapping that black gold we call oil, which in a modern economy is converted into bazillions of dollars.
Lenovo Breaks Even On Datacenter Hardware, Makes It Up In Services

Here is how you know you are in a tough business: No matter what you do, no matter how hard your people work and how smart they are, no matter that you are riding the wild tiger of AI growth and revenues have grown marvelously, you can’t make any money.
Silicon One G200 Finally Drives Cisco’s AI Networking Business

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

Everybody has been waiting to see the AI spike at Cisco Systems, and it just happened in its most current quarter. Cisco has been telling Wall Street for the past two quarters that it expected to sell at least $1 billion in AI equipment in fiscal 2025, which ends in July.
Dell Is Determined To Gets Its Piece Of The AI Enterprise Pie

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Jeffrey Burt

For much of the two-plus years since ChatGPT hit the market and kicked off the generative AI frenzy, the market tilted toward well-resourced hyperscalers like Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft as well as Tier 2 cloud service providers, with powerful – and expensive – accelerators and massive large language models like Meta’s Llama with 405 billion parameters. But that’s beginning to change as enterprise adoption continues to rise.
Nvidia Licenses NVLink Memory Ports To CPU And Accelerator Makers

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

There are many reasons why Nvidia is the hardware juggernaut of the AI revolution, and one of them, without question, is the NVLink memory sharing port that started out on its “Pascal” P100 GOU accelerators way back in 2016.
How Is Neocloud TensorWave Paying for Its Fairly Large AMD Cluster?

3 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

If you are a neocloud – and there seem to be more of these popping up like mushrooms in a moist North Carolina spring in the mountains – then you are going to need a pricing edge and a niche offering to compete with the big clouds and rival neoclouds. This is why TensorWave, which just raised $100 million in Series A funding and which will use the money to build out its second wave of AMD-only infrastructure, will be interesting to watch.
