In this episode we are diving into the world of liquid cooling. It’s become a topic of much discussion over the course of the last year, and is being hailed as an essential part of future data centre and HPC architecture.

But, what makes liquid cooling so essential, and why are we reaching the limits of air cooling technology? Joining us to discuss is Benjamin Kufahl, Senior Liquid Cooling Expert in HPC & AI at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode we are taking a behind-the-scenes look at connectivity in one of the most exciting and immersive sporting organizations in the world: Tottenham Hotspur FC.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, opened in 2019, has a capacity of almost 63,000 people - and is popular not just for matches, but events and conferences too.

A modern, huge capacity stadium and millions of fans around the world means that the club needs a huge amount of IT infrastructure.
So, how do you keep on top of it and ensure world-class fan experiences, connectivity and interactivity? Joining us to discuss is Rob Pickering, Chief Technology Officer for Tottenham Hotspur FC.

In this episode we are looking at something rather practical: How to take an AI strategy from dream to reality.

In many cases, when organizations decide they want an AI solution, they need help and guidance designing it, and getting the most out of it. So, what does an effective AI-building strategy look like?

To find out, this week we’re joined by Jimmy Whitaker, Chief Scientist of AI and Strategy at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

This week, we’re taking a look at what it takes to excel in one of the most extreme and competitive sporting arenas, Formula 1 racing – with a very special guest, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team driver, George Russell.

We’ll be discussing what it takes to stay ahead, the role of technology in racing, how it takes a team of thousands to win races – and what our organizations can learn from it.

In this episode we are looking at private cellular networks, a hot-topic in the networking space.

In 2023, the 5G private network market was worth $2 billion. That’s expected to grow to over $30 billion by 2030 (see Kaleido report below), despite 5G being unlikely to overtake 4G as the dominant private networking technology until 2027.

So, why is private 5G networking such a growth area, and what could it mean for our organizations?

Joining us to discuss is Richard Band, HPE’s Senior Sales Director for Private Networking in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

In this episode, we’re heading to Barcelona for HPE Discover 2024, the second HPE Discover of 2024 following Las Vegas in June.
Once again we’ll be breaking down HPE President and CEO Antonio Neri’s multimedia keynote – networking, cooling, storage, HPC, Ops and – of course – AI all featured throughout.

So what does it mean for the future of tech? Joining us to offer his thoughts is Clesmie Burden, HPE Chief of Staff for Global Sales.

In this episode we are looking at how AI is forcing us to rethink efficiency - and pushing us to do better.

As the energy usage of our IT infrastructure - especially data centers - creeps ever higher, organizations are thinking more seriously about how to make the whole process more efficient, and get more out of the tech and resources we have - potentially making AI not only more sustainable, but also cheaper.

And that’s where today’s guest comes in. Discussing the topic with us is Dr John Frey, Chief Technologist for Sustainable Transformation at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode we are looking at a topic which organizations and even Governments have been rushing to adopt - AI and skills in the workforce.
The rise of Generative AI has seen a seismic shift in the way we do business over the last couple of years, not just in tech but across every sector.

And that presents an issue for the workforce at large - how do non-IT departments and fields, managers, education systems, or even us as individuals deal with this new technology?
