As we celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay, I'm reminded of the progress Microsoft has made towards our 2030 goals: becoming carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste.   After diving into our 2024 Environmental Sustainability Report, it's clear that unity is essential to address our planet's climate challenges.   I'm so proud of our work to preserve and restore ecosystems, surpassing our land protection target by more than 40%. It's exciting to see such momentum as we begin to incorporate AI to gather deeper insights into the health of the environment!   Explore the full report to see how our customers, partners, and innovative technology are shaping a sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/dqPZUmeU   #ClimateAction #EcoInnovation

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud consider it important that customers' have the ability to move provider or adopt a #multicloud strategy. Interesting… And, #AWS and #GoogleCloud are in agreement, despite their different market positions, that egress fees are a non-issue. Amazingly interesting… I wonder if you think the same? #Azure #Cloud #Cloudcomputing

Excellent blog for aspiring channel partners, thanks Geoff Greenlaw Pure Storage Vernon Saldanha Opportunities for channel partners to deliver Storage as a Service ·       Many enterprises are stuck with underperforming, complex and energy inefficient legacy solutions. ·       This is concerning for businesses under pressure to leverage AI for fear of being left behind. ·       This uncertainty presents an opportunity for channel organisations to help customers by delivering innovation they need in the age of AI. ·       A major concern for enterprises is balancing innovation with the need to upgrade infrastructures to support their efforts. ·       According to Gartner, IT leaders are shifting from traditional storage solutions to a platform-based approach to meet evolving business needs. ·       Since data centres can only supply so much power, inefficient deployments run the risk of GPUs sitting idle because they cannot be powered. ·       Efficient infrastructure technologies like flash storage are crucial for managing power and space. ·       Every Watt allocated to storage hinders a higher number of GPUs powered in an AI cluster. ·       With Pure Storage, it is possible to achieve up to 85% reduction in energy usage and carbon emissions, and up to 95% less rack space. ·       A unified data storage platform can be a powerful tool to address the challenges of complexity, reliability, cost, and risk. ·       Storage as a Service is expected to grow 16% by 2027 to $49.54 billion and for partners this prediction offers a promising outlook. ·       Storage as a Service does not require the same CapEx outlay of traditional IT infrastructure. ·       Storage as a Service is not a magic bullet and every vendor has jumped on this trend, which means Storage as a Service offerings are created far from equal. ·       Enterprises are looking to avoid Storage as a Service offerings from vendors which simply offer OpEx billing disguised as a service. https://lnkd.in/dgQGtxAt

At Microsoft, we’re committed to being water positive by 2030. It’s inspiring to see how we lead the way in transforming datacenter water efficiency while meeting the growing demand for cloud and AI innovation. How are we making this possible? By innovating at every level, from our datacenter buildings all the way to the chips. In fact, since the early 2000s, we have reduced our water intensity by over 80%. In this blog, Noelle Walsh shares more about two of Microsoft’s focus areas for continuing to drive down water intensity, making progress towards our sustainability commitments, and empowering customers and partners working toward similar goals: https://lnkd.in/gUAD2Z2V

Great discussion between Stuart Miniman and David Vellante on the heels of #Think2024. My take on Collaboration between IBM and Red Hat: 1. Red Hat and IBM must collaborate at deeper level, not just for the better of IBM, but for the betterment of the industry (improving systems economics), IMO 2. It's great seeing the gap from Research to Productization shrinking at IBM, 'InstructLab' is a perfect example of that pattern. I am making this statement after having my 1-1 meeting with Nicholas (Nick) Fuller of IBM Research. As part of Analyst Summit at IBM Think 2024, I also had 1-1 discussions with: Matt Hicks, CEO, Red Hat Armand Ruiz (VP, Product Management, AI Platform) Ajay Patel, GM Apptio & IBM IT Automation Kudos to Dan O'Brien and his team for a well orchestrated Analyst Summit program! _______________________________________________ #InstructLab is a model-agnostic open source AI project that facilitates contributions to Large Language Models (LLMs).
