SPOTLIGHT: Servers Are Still Relevant in the Age of Cloud with HPE

Event Page: https://techfieldday.com/event/tfdxhpegen12/

Although we live in a world of software, server hardware still matters from datacenter to cloud to edge. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Scott Shaffer, VP and Chief Technologist at HPE, discussing the evolution of the server with Jack Poller, Vuong Pham, and Stephen Foskett. Although servers might appear to be commoditized, companies like HPE are building optimized designs for various purposes. Edge servers, for example, are a unique form factor and have special requirements for mounting, air filtering, security, power efficiency, management, and more. Datacenter and cloud servers have special optimizations as well, with efficiency, expansion, and cooling in special focus. As we turn to AI and HPC, servers have to support unprecedented levels of electrical power and cooling, with air cooling still very much in demand but incredible advances being made on liquid cooling as well. The Tech Field Day delegates will be on-site with HPE on the same day this episode airs, learning more about the ProLiant line. Tune in and watch the Tech Field Day presentations on YouTube.
