Some of you listening might be thinking that Wifi 6 only launched a couple of years ago, and, well, you’d be forgiven for doing so. Launched in 2020, its rollour was hamstrung by COVID and the standard only became dominant in the last year or two. But now there’s a new standard: WiFi 7. It’s due to be ratified by the end of this year, although it’s already appearing in certain products. It promises a huge boost to the speeds and latency of Wifi, giving a wired-like experience.So, is it time to upgrade… again? This week we’re joined by Darrel Rhodes. He’s a Consulting Systems Engineer at HPE Aruba Networking. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode we are looking at the growing market for no code or low code app development. The premise is simple. Rather than coding an app or tool yourself, you simply drag and drop pre-existing components, data sources, and data outputs into a map, and set the actions to whatever you need. However, there are challenges, including the creation of shadow IT systems within an organization, and giving non-experts the ability to interact - potentially destructively - with your data. Joining us today to discuss the challenges and opportunities is Richard Kerridge, a strategist in HPE Education Services customer team.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

2024 has already been a difficult year for extreme weather. The hurricane season on the eastern seaboard of North America is already one of the earliest active seasons on record. Meanwhile, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US, as of August 8th, this year has already seen 19 weather events cause damage upwards of a billion dollars, with 149 people left dead. That’s in the US alone.So, how are supercomputing and high performance computing helping to mitigate the effects of such extreme weather? Joining us to discuss is Ilene Carpenter, Earth Sciences segment manager at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Machine-learning based Generative AI is inherently inefficient. Training models by sifting findings again and again until a suitable output is generated is a time-consuming – end energy-consuming – process. So, could there be a better way to look at training our AI systems? Well, one possible option is physics-based AI, where training is viewed as an energy grid, and the best possible route though that grid mapped to find outputs. It’s a novel way of thinking, but it could change our whole approach to AI.Joining us again today to find out more is Ray Beausoleil, a physicist, senior fellow and senior vice president at HPE.

There are math problems that are hard. So hard that even current computers cannot solve them. To get around these problems, we need to re-think the very foundation of how we architect our IT, by using a technological field called 'novel accelerators'.It sounds complicated, but today's guest is particularly skilled at explaining incredibly complicated concepts. He says: "Right now, Generative AI and accelerators are at the forefront of being able to help with these major advances, and the world could change in really significant ways. Medicine, materials, energy, information technology... to harness these systems to help us - not to replace us."

In this episode, we’ll be taking you on a trip to London for the final race weekend of the 10th season of the Formula E championship, which was held on the weekend of the 20th and 21st July. We’ve been looking at the tech behind the event, how Formula E is transforming the world of racing, and what our organisations can learn from the cutting edge of motorsport.One of those areas is in training and familiarity. Knowing the circuit and how the car will behave at any given moment is obviously a huge advantage. But how do you work that out when you’ve only got the race weekend?Well, one way is to use track and car simulations - essentially, incredibly accurate digital twins of a racetrack with a full suite of driving controls and simulated movement, where drivers can test their setups in a variety of conditions, to prepare for race day. Here to talk more about that are this week’s guests, from Maserati MSG racing: Cyril Blais, deputy team principal, and driver Maximillian Günther.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Subscription-based IT is becoming increasingly popular – not just for software, but also for hardware. This means our IT is increasingly not a capital investment, but an operational expense, which means different people are paying for it from different budgets. And those people aren’t always the most IT savvy.So, what does this mean for our organisations, and how do we make sure that the right people are being educated to ask the right questions when it comes to IT? To help us unravel what’s going on, we’re joined today by Bob Panos, senior VP of Sales and Strategic Partnerships at American Digital.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In the past couple of years, the world has seen the unprecedented growth and development of machine learning and AI applications, along with a huge spike in demand for new systems. This rising demand for AI services has, according to today’s guest, stifled competition to supply AI to those with a lot of resources, and caused uneven access for the rest of us. In this episode we are looking at reducing those barriers to entry, and helping more people get access to foundation model training, at less cost financially - and to the planet – with Fellow and VP at HPE, Paolo Faraboschi.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode, we are looking at improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of our computer workloads by shifting them around the world in real-time - something called ‘geo-distribution’.The idea involves looking at real time global energy production- ideally from renewable sources - and a load of other factors including weather, water tables and more. By comparing these factors as well as compute availability and the lag between data source and data center, you can find the most sustainable locations to perform a task. Ideally, shifting the workloads so quickly that the user doesn’t even know it’s happening. To tell us more we’re joined this week by Cullen Bash, Vice President, Research & Development at HPE, who leads the Systems Architecture Lab at Hewlett Packard Labs.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In this episode, we’re exploring the backbone of AI – network fabrics. The network fabric is the backbone of the data centre - keeping everything together between the storage, compute, and users. It’s much more than patch cables, it’s a finely balanced, interconnected process ecosystem. With the advent of AI, the demands on those network fabrics are changing, putting pressure on our compute resources, as well as on our energy usage. So what can be done, and can AI help optimize itself?

In this episode we are looking at how the public sector is embracing the hybrid cloud model and what steps need to be taken to be certain our information, as members of the public, is kept safe. It’s a big issue. In 2021 and 2022 the largest percentage of cyber threats and attacks were reported by governments and the public sector, according to the European Parliament. So, what operational security strategies are being tailored for public sector needs? How does regulation differ between the public and private sector when it comes to hybrid cloud security? And how can leaders in health, education, the military, public transport and law enforcement ensure that adopting a hybrid cloud model is a secure option?

Despite a huge boom in technological innovation around the world and an expanding tech industry, the number of graduates who have come from STEM subjects remains relatively low. Just over a quarter of university graduates in the UK have studied a STEM course, and in the US it’s less than 1-in-5.  Within that, there is still a huge disparity in gender after secondary school compulsory education. In this episode we’ll be looking at how we can engage the next, and future generations in science and technology-led professions, and the importance of role models in showing what can be achieved by a career in STEM, with former NASA rocket scientist, STEM ambassador, entrepreneur and confirmed future astronaut, Aisha Bowe.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

The term “open source” is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It originally started out as a rebellious gesture to allow everybody access to programmes and ideas. So how did something that began as a movement against big corporations grow into one that has been adopted by Fortune 500 companies?In this episode we’ll be looking at where open source technology sits as a functioning tool in the age of VR and AR, and if we're going to see open source software being coded by open platform AI, with Distinguished Technologist for Open Platform at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Jean-Marie Verdun.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Convergence is an idea that’s been bubbling under the surface of IT operations for some time. The concept involves bringing Dev Ops, IT ops and SRE under one roof, eliminating silos of expertise and data and opening up an organization’s IT infrastructure for the benefit of the whole group.It could be a game changer for efficiency, with some estimates suggesting 40% savings on IT infrastructure by reducing bottlenecks and duplicated workloads. But the technology to achieve convergence is only just becoming available… Why, and what does it mean?Here to explain is Varma Kunaparaju, Co-Founder and CEO at OpsRamp, an IT Operations management as-a-service platform that was recently acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

There’s an acute shortage of candidates for tech jobs – in fact, research suggests tens of millions of potential roles are going unfilled. In a poll with global technology chiefs conducted by MIT’s ‘Technology Review’, a majority found that they weren’t getting enough candidates for roles, and those who did apply lacked necessary skills. Clearly, there’s a problem here. So what can tech companies do to bring more talent through the door? Could building a baseline of investment in new, or even unqualified, talent be a solution?Joining us today is Maninder Randhawa, Early Careers Leader for Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the UKIMEA region, to find out if apprenticeships could be the answer.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Alongside tackling global warming, conservation and protecting the diversity of our natural world is a global priority.  AI plays a huge role, from analysing satellite imagery of reforestation efforts to identifying wildlife from acoustic scanners or trip cameras. However, there’s an issue in these biomes where many people live - these efforts are taking place without their permission. Privacy, data protection and individual rights can potentially be sidelined in the quest for a tech-driven solution to a global problem.Joining us today is Joycelyn Longdon. She’s a PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at Cambridge University. Her research is around looking at the technical, AI-based solutions to environmental protection, and respect local populations, whilst trying to protect our natural habitats.

Golf is undeniably one of the most challenging sports in the world from a logistical and operational standpoint. Especially when it comes to connecting the hundreds or thousands of smart devices dotted around them during major tournaments.Courses are huge areas, several kilometers square. They have dozens of acres of maintained grass, geographical challenges, roads, trees, and often other services on or near them that need to be skirted around or crossed. They are open to the elements. In short, providing connectivity is a huge challenge. That's the challenge for our guest this week, Chief Technology Officer for the European Tour Group and Ryder Cup Europe, Michael Cole. We'll be talking about creating 21st-century connected ecosystems in the most extreme environments, as well as the future of golf as a 'smart' sport.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Formula E is one of the most exciting motor racing championships in the world. The all-electric series takes place across 16 races and features 11 teams racing at up to 200mph on urban, city-centre circuits. The catch? It’s a ‘spec’ series, which means the teams all race essentially identical cars. In this episode, we travelled to the London E-Prix where we caught up with Maserati MSG driver Edo Mortara and team principal James Rossiter to talk about competitive advantage, and how to win against a level playing field.We'd love to hear your one minute review of books which have changed your year!

Right now, we need a lot more energy.  In 2023, on average we use 60 kilowatt hours of electrical energy, each, per day. That's enough to boil approximately 600 litres of water. Which is a lot, especially when you consider that several billion of us are using a lot less than that. Demand is growing, too, by 3-5% globally every year. The IT industry is a major contributor to this, using around 6% of the world's electricity. So how can we make more, and use less? That’s the topic of a two-part special of our sister podcast, Technology Untangled. This week, we’re taking a look at some of the key findings from these special investigations in something of a highlights reel.We'd love to hear your one minute review of books which have changed your year!

The metaverse is a misunderstood phenomenon. Since becoming championed by Mark Zuckerberg in 2021, it’s become synonymous with Augmented and Virtual reality – a mythical second world where we’ll all have jobs, homes, and property in addition to our daily, ‘real’ lives. That dream of the metaverse hasn’t quite taken off, but that doesn’t mean the concept is dead. In fact, the idea of a digital world augmenting our own is growing fast, and attracting a huge amount of interest and resources. It’s also proving invaluable in large-scale prototyping and design. One of the companies looking seriously into the growth of the metaverse is Nokia, and their Head of Trend and Innovation Scouting, Leslie Shannon, is today’s guest.We'd love to hear your one minute review of books which have changed your year!

AR and VR are sometimes seen as forgotten technologies when it comes to enterprise IT. They've made waves in the gaming world, but even so, are still considered niche technologies. However, with the recent announcement by Apple of their own headset, and increasing investment by Meta, is it time we took AR and VR more seriously? Are we missing out by not incorporating them into our IT structure?In this episode, we're joined by Lauren Dyer, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Dimensions Studios.We'd love to hear your one-minute review of books which have changed your year!

AI is huge business. But it’s also having a huge effect on our carbon emissions: The storage, cooling, and processing power required to train a large language model AI can produce as much CO2 as driving over a million miles in a family car.In this episode, we’re talking to HPE Chief Technologist Matt Armstrong-Barnes about the concept of sustainable AI, and how making strategic decisions early in the design process – as well as proper data management – can help save organisations a fortune, as well as to potentially reduce CO2 emissions.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

We humans are social animals, and we communicate a lot with our voices - much more than just in the words we speak. So if our voices can communicate emotion, can they also communicate health markers? Well, apparently so. Increasingly, AI research is looking at using AI voice analysis to diagnose everything from common colds to cancer, as well as mental health markers. It could be a huge opportunity in the healthcare space, but also in professional settings as a tool in the belt of HR and talent managers.

Applying for driver's licenses. Filing for permits. Applying for aid or benefits. The world is a bureaucratic place, and it cost individuals, organisations, and Governments billions of dollars a year to make it all tick over. So can good digital transformation fix the problem? Can it streamline our lives? If so, what does that look like, and, more importantly, why haven't we done it yet?

In 2022, between 300 and 500 million people globally watched esports events in one form or another. And with huge audiences come huge revenues and prize pots: DOTA 2, one of the most popular games among fans and competitive players, has an estimated prize pool of over $40 million annually across the various leagues and tournaments. The industry as a whole is worth $1.4 billion, and it's growing fast. Leading the charge is Evil Geniuses. We are joined by CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson to talk about how the industry has sprung up, professionalized, and is now ready to step into the arena with other major professional sports.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

For the public sector, it’s critical to be highly resilient in turbulent times through short-term challenges, long-term issues, sudden policy changes and international relations. So how can tech help and why does the running of state organizations matter to the rest of us? Joining us this week is HPE Chief Technologist Russell MacDonald. We'll be discussing the challenges facing tech in the public sector, how to stay the course in choppy waters (and sometimes literal floods), and what the rest of us can learn about technological resilience.   This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

The tech industry is ever-changing, and with new processes and technologies comes demand for new skillsets. Unfortunately, the traditional STEM degree to graduate placement to hire route is still how most people make it into the industry. And that creates an issue: If everyone has the same background, it creates the same schools of thinking and skillsets. That's a problem in a world where developments in Artificial Intelligence and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) are changing the way we think about developing IT solutions, where insight is increasingly being layered on top of data to create new analyses and problem-solving methods, and where translating client needs into software and hardware is increasingly about writing the next chapter of a story. That's creating demand for a new type of tech-professional, and one which is unlikely to be found by traditional hiring routes. In this episode, we're taking a look at how tech skills deficits are being filled by people with very different backgrounds, from apprentices to historians.

In this episode, we’re joined by HPE Chief Technologist Adrian Lovell. We're looking behind the scenes at how economists and banks are increasingly using AI to help mitigate and plan for financial turmoil. We’ll be looking at the tools banks are using to predict the future and act accordingly when it comes to setting interest rates, and asking what that can teach the rest of us all about forward planning, strategy, and using AI to augment human expertise.  We'd love to hear your one minute review of books which have changed your year!

Workplace stress is something most of us will experience at some point. But there are some fields where the stakes are that much higher. The decisions made in a pinch by airline pilots, doctors, and others can literally be life or death.Switching from a well established and sometimes dull routine to immediate focus, clarity and understanding requires years of training and experience - and nowhere is that more true than in nuclear power. The vast majority of the time it's completely safe, but it's fair to say complacency and human decision making under stress has caused its fair share of disasters over the years. The art of keeping human clarity on point and enabling us to make decisions under stress with the help of technology (rather than it making the situation worse) is called Human-Centered Design. It's a principle which points us in the right direction and assists us when we need to make judgement calls - and is surprisingly uncommon in many industries. Joining us today is Dr. Claire Blackett, Principal Nuclear Research Scientist from the Institute for Energy Technologies and an expert in Human-Centered Design. We'll be discussing what other organizations can learn about alleviating stress and enabling good decision making through positive design principles - and more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

It's not entirely surprising that AI in healthcare is considered an enormous opportunity. Doctors and clinicians are overworked and stressed, and patients are expecting ever quicker and more effective diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, healthcare survives on efficiency and moving patients and staff where they are needed as quickly as possible. It's a perfect opportunity to take some of the strain off the human, and a wide variety of AI-based solutions are developing everything from analyzing scans to setting up appointments and assisting ward rounds. Using AI to 'oil the machine' while respecting and amplifying human expertise is an exciting prospect, and seemingly an ideal case study for the current capabilities of AI. So what can other organizations in different fields learn from the way healthcare is embracing AI and the learnings they've taken away so far? Joining us today to explain is General Electric Healthcare's Andy Cachaldora.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

It's fair to say crypto currency is the wild child of the tech field. From currencies climbing 40% in a day to collapsing overnight, Crypto is rarely out of the news. Why does it matter to businesses? Well, with higher stakes comes the likelihood of greater regulation. That in turn could lead to enough stability to make crypto a viable payment platform on a large scale, with enormous implications for business and the global economy, as well as forcing a rethink of ideas such as inflation and quantitative easing. Crypto is also a testing ground for new and innovative thinking around sustainable and secure ICT technology. It's not always successful, but it's something we should all be paying attention to. And then, of course, there's the fact that turmoil in the crypto world can cause real issues for millions of investors, with a knock-on effect for our organizations. These issues and more are on the table this week."This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

AI is a great tool for lifting the burden of repeatable, predictable tasks off humans. Until it isn’t. The fact is, a lot of AI is biased and even unconsciously discriminatory. It’s trained on poor, skewed datasets as the result of traditional biases in the tech industry. That means in the real world,  unrepresented groups such as women are losing out on opportunities as a result of decisions being made by AI in finance, HR, healthcare, and more. So what can we do to solve this issue? We’re joined by Professor Anjana Susarla from Michigan State University to find out.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Bots have been in the news a lot over the last few months. From plaguing social media and threatening to scupper Elon Musk’s Twitter buyout, to being blamed for Taylor Swift’s tour ticketing woes on the Live Nation site, they tend to make the news for all the wrong reasons.
