“Christopher is one of the first individuals I had the pleasure working with during my career as an Army officer in Ft. Lewis for 2 years. We had worked on a few projects ranging from conducting maintenance and training exercises to improve unit effectiveness and readiness. At first I was impressed with Chris' sociable and open demeanor, he openly communicated to me his concerns and opinions regarding the processes implemented at the time. My initial interaction with Chris reflected that he had a strong backbone and the ability to contribute and improve system processes. Although he was on a different team, the tasks required from our agency allowed us to interact on a monthly basis in order to complete the jobs at hand. I was also able to observe Chris during his time as a team leader and I have noticed his development in leadership skills in maintaining and managing his staff in addition to the depth of knowledge he had accrued over his Army career. I can vouche on behalf of Chris that he is capable and approachable team leader who maintains a humble bearing. Additionally he is a great team player and focuses on increasing his depth of knowledge in his career path. ”

You’re working with a remote team. How can you ensure everyone has access to important files?
In my experience it should be a combination of tools or a tech stack in a way. We are personally old school and use text/email to do basic communication. When we want to store documents and organise by folder/project we use google drive. When we need to create/share presentations we will use canva. When we want to share docs that track who view them we will use docsend. When we want to run events we use a variety of tools such as eventbrite, luma, LinkedIn, etc..but do your own research on what might be right for your needs, everyone has different needs even if you are in the same industry.

Operations management degrees include different types of business courses but ultimately focus on operations. As such, the curriculum includes supply chain management, project management, logistics, and organizational development, which aren't typically part of business administration programs.

MangoBoost
Anyone heading to Santa Clara next week for the SNIA Developer Conference? It seems that no discussion on digital infrastructure is complete these days without touching on AI—so we've got just the right presentation for you: AI and storage, a perfect match. At SDC 24, MangoBoost's Chief Product Officer Eriko Nurvitadhi and AMD's Storage and Networking Architect Craig Carlson are co-presenting on how the MangoBoost DPU fully accelerates direct, Ethernet-based communications between AMD GPUs and remote, network-attached, disaggregated storage servers using NVMe-over-TCP and peer-to-peer communications. In this talk, MangoBoost and AMD will present the following: • A tutorial on the trends in AI, such as Large Language Models (LLMs), larger datasets, storage-optimized AI frameworks, which drive demands for high-speed storage systems for GPUs. • An overview of AMD’s GPU systems. • A discussion on how DPUs can improve GPU systems efficiencies, specifically in accessing storage servers. • Case studies of modern LLMs AI workloads on AMD MI300X GPU server using open-source AMD ROCm software, where MangoBoost DPU fully accelerates Ethernet-based, direct GPU-storage communications, resulting in reduced CPU utilizations and improvements in performance and scalability. Find out more about the presentation below, and stay tuned for updates! #SNIA #Storage #SNIADeveloperConference #SDC #DataProcessingUnit #DPU #AMD #MI300X #GPU #NAS #NVMe #TCP

*Q3 '24 Hyperscaler Update: CapEx Growth Continues* *CapEx Growth and AI Demand*:Hyperscalers Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta invested $199 billion in CapEx over the past year, with an average 55% year-over-year growth. Amazon led in Q3 2024 with $22.6 billion, followed by Microsoft at $14.9 billion, Google at $13.1 billion, and Meta at $8.3 billion, showcasing their commitment to AI & cloud infrastructure. *Long-Term Investments & Strategic Risks*: These companies are making 15+ year investments in data centers, betting on continued compute demand. With a combined cloud revenue run rate of $225 billion, securing resources like land & power now is critical to maintaining market position & avoiding future capacity constraints. *Supply Constraints & Future Adjustments*: While capacity constraints persist, Microsoft noted that supply for data centers & power is improving. This may lead to more balanced CapEx spending in the near term, but hyperscalers remain committed to substantial AI investment. #HyperscalerGrowth #AICapEx #CloudInfrastructure

Microsoft is taking transparency to the next level by unveiling Cloud Service CVEs. In a recent blog post, the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) announced that they will now issue CVEs for critical cloud service vulnerabilities, regardless of whether customers need to install patches or take other actions. This commitment aligns with Microsoft's Secure Future Initiative, emphasizing transparency and faster vulnerability response. #Cybersecurity #CloudSecurity #CVEs #Microsoft #CloudArcitecture
