Hyperscalers Are Eating the World (and the Grid)

A recent Synergy Research Group report has revealed a striking statistic that should give every infrastructure professional pause: hyperscalers—AWS, Azure, Google, Meta, and their peers—now account for 44% of the world's total data center capacity. More importantly, this figure is projected to surge

The IPv4 Crisis That Almost Broke Our Scaling Plans

During my deployment engineering days at Amazon, we were in the middle of what felt like controlled chaos. New AWS regions launching monthly, services expanding globally, data centers coming online faster than anyone thought possible.

NVIDIA's NVLink Fusion: True Innovation or Strategic Lock-in?

NVIDIA's NVLink Fusion True Innovation or Strategic Lock-in? Earlier this week at Computex, Jensen Huang introduced NVLink Fusion, positioning it as a means to "democratize scale-up" by allowing customers to mix and match compute architectures. On the surface, this suggests flexibility: integrating CPUs, GPUs, and specialized silicon, all interconnected via NVIDIA's high-performance NVLink. However, upon closer examination, this appears to be more of an illusion of choice.
