Jordan Peterson speaks to House Republicans on positive messaging – The Hill

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

Psychologist and author Jordan Peterson spoke to a group of House Republicans on Wednesday at a lunch for the Republican Study Committee, the largest conservative caucus in the House.

Im trying to help formulate a positive conservative message, Peterson said after the lunch. Its dangerous in these times where politics has become increasingly tit for tat. Its easy to recoil into a kind of resentment, especially in relationship to the radicals on the left and to just be tossing increasingly barbed insults back and forth.

I suppose thats the danger of a kind of reflexive populism, that you can appeal to that resentment, Peterson continued. But I think more traditional types have a real opportunity to put forward a positive vision and to guide themselves through the next election in the fall, the election cycle in the fall and in the presidential election, with a positive message. And hopefully that will also cool down the political temperature to some degree, because that needs to happen.

Peterson spoke to the group at the invitation of Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas).

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), chairman of the Republican Study Committee, said that he was a fan of Petersons work and said his presentation was phenomenal.

We talked about the culture war from a very philosophical and academic standpoint. He gave us lots of advice on how to be more articulate and be more effective, Banks said.

The Republican Study Committee regularly hosts guest speakers at its weekly lunches, typically politicians and former officials. Previous speakers include former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former professional basketball player Enes Kanter Freedom, and former Trump White House aide Stephen Miller. A number of Republican senators, including Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.), have spoken to the group as well.

Theres an opportunity for conservatives to take the high ground and, you know, its an argument that we can win. He believes that theres some nobility in it, and that theres an opportunity for us to message on that, Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) said of Petersons talk. Hes just a brilliant man.

Colleges are too liberal and it is hurting their enrollment – observer-me.com

By Matthew Gagnon

Joseph Manson is or more properly was a tenured professor in the Anthropology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he has established himself as a well-respected expert in his field, with research ranging from primate behavior and human personality.

He had worked at UCLA since 1996, but last week Manson published a piece on Common Sense, a Substack run by former New York Times opinion writer Bari Weiss, announcing that he was resigning from his position and leaving academia.

His stated reason? The ideological takeover of my university, he wrote, has ruined academic life for anyone who still believes in freedom of thought.

Mansons complaints are certainly not new. People on the political right have been complaining about liberal colleges for decades, particularly since the turbulent 1960s. It has not escaped the attention of many people that many universities are an ideological breeding ground for progressive politics, making conservative students increasingly isolated and even intimidated into silence.

Something different has been taking place recently, though. Complaints that were once the unhappy grumblings of students and parents are now spreading into faculty and administration as more highly educated intellectuals who work in universities have begun to speak out. Manson is not alone in having reached a breaking point, as other highly credentialed professors the likes of Jordan Peterson, Peter Boghossian, Joshua Katz, and Bo Winegard have either quit or become incredibly critical of the hostile environment toward intellectual diversity within the field of higher education.

Manson levels several blistering accusations, perhaps the most troubling of which is the public torment and humiliation by UCLA colleagues and students of a fellow professor of Anthropology, P. Jeffrey Brantingham. He describes how Brantingham, a standard-issue liberal Democrat, was systematically attacked, ostracized and effectively erased from being a functional member of the Anthropology Department, all for his research into the geographic and temporal patterning of urban crime.

This isnt his only complaint, of course. He describes ideological bullying, enforced political speech requirements, and widespread lessening of academic standards related to threats of political retribution if certain changes were not made.

The entrenched powers that be in American colleges and universities will be, as they always are, quick to dismiss Mansons resignation and his myriad of complaints, but academia faces a tremendous perception problem whether they want to admit it or not.

Already the ideological sorting has gotten extreme, with a clear shift happening among faculty over time. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA has conducted research into partisan affiliations among faculty for decades, and the results have been clear: 41.7 percent of respondents described themselves as far left or liberal in 1989, while that number climbed to 60 percent by 2014. Some recent research has suggested that Democratic professors outnumber Republicans nearly 9 to 1 at top colleges. Among students, the lopsided partisan affiliation is likely worse.

This is not a healthy situation. Education, particularly at the highest levels, is an undeniable social good that needs to be encouraged. Society should respect and even revere people who dedicate their lives to learning, and young people should want to be a part of an institution that values and respects the difficult search for knowledge.

But sadly, America no longer seems to view the college experience as an inherent good. A recent Pew survey found that roughly four in 10 Americans say that colleges and universities are having a negative effect on the state of the country. That is a damn shame, particularly because so many good people do indeed remain in higher education.

But I believe that due to the increasingly one-sided environment found in American universities, we are actively dissuading thousands of students and parents from wanting to subject themselves to four years of hostility and frustration. Even when they do choose to go, many view their time in college as a difficult environment that they have to suffer through and endure politically, just to achieve the desired academic goals they have. Is that how we want them to think of it?

As it happens, this year I made the decision to pursue an advanced degree myself, and am extremely excited to report that I am beginning a masters program in economics at George Mason University this August. I value knowledge and learning and want to expand my skills and understanding. I want others to make the choice I have made, because education should be for everyone.

But today it doesnt feel like it is. And with so many students today actively wondering whether colleges even want them around, is it any wonder that university enrollment is beginning to go down?

Gagnon of Yarmouth is the chief executive officer of the Maine Policy Institute, a free market policy think tank based in Portland. A Hampden native, he previously served as a senior strategist for the Republican Governors Association in Washington, D.C.

Theres a lot of money to be made: Detransitioners blast doctors they blame for maimed bodies – The Christian Post

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

Detransitioner Chloe Cole, 17, speaks about her experience undergoing trans medicalization as a youn teenager in a meeting with Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo in July 2022. | Screengrab: Twitter/Joseph A. Ladapo

A rising number of detransitioners are raising their voices in support of safeguarding measures to protect children from the harms of taking puberty-blocking drugs, opposite-sex hormones or undergoing cosmetic surgeries to remove their breast tissue or genitalia. Many detransitioners say these practices left them with disfigured bodies and health complications.

At a public hearing in Florida on Friday, 17-year-old Chloe Cole, a detransitioning teenager from California, recounted how she underwent the experimental gender medicalization and was incapable of comprehending what the drugs and surgeries would do to her body.

"I really didnt understand all of the ramifications of any of the medical decisions that I was making," Cole said, noting that she started taking hormone blockers at age 13, followed by testosterone, according to Fox News.

When Cole was only 15, she had a double mastectomy, what trans activists call top surgery. "I was unknowingly physically cutting off my true self from my body, irreversibly and painfully, she said.

Duringa roundtable event with Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, clips of which were shared on social media, Cole said she doesn't know whether she will be able to carry a child to term and believes she's at greater risk of suffering fatal health complications.

"I dont know if Ill be able to fully carry a child, and I might be at increased risk for certain cancers, mainly cervical cancer," Cole said. "And because I do not have my breasts, I am not able to breastfeed whatever future children I have."

Realizing that her ability to breastfeed had been taken from her, Cole determined that joining the ranks of the newly transitioned had left her with a mutilated body and that she had been far too young to fully grasp the irreversible damage of medicalized and surgical gender transition.

Along with sharing her story with Florida's surgeon general, Cole urged the state's elected officials to implement a rule to block Medicaid funds (taxpayers' dollars) from being used to pay for experimental drugs and surgeries for gender-confused youth.

In April, the Florida Department of Health released state guidelines for treating youth experiencing gender dysphoria, which recommended against experimental interventions like puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones, and performing body mutilating surgeries on teenagers younger than 18, such as castration.

Last month, Cole was profiled in the New York Post alongside 23-year-old detransitioner Helena Kerschner, who previously testified in opposition to a pending bill in California, SB 107, that would allow minors from other states to obtain gender-affirming services despite their parents' objections. Sources close to the matter told The Christian Post that the bill contains provisions that would allow the state's courts to sever parents' rights. The next Appropriations Committee hearing is scheduled for Aug. 3.

The New York Post profiled another detransitioner on Monday, a 31-year-old man named Brian Wagoner, who lived as a woman for nearly a decade, presenting as Brianna. He began reintegrating with his natal sex in February and described emerging from his trans identity as akin to leaving the 'Twilight Zone,' but the rest of society is still in it.

Wagoner took specific aim at the doctors who guided him down this pathway and suggested that nefarious motives, specifically illicit financial gains, are a factor in this area of medicine.

It was basically like medical professionals cheering on a girl with bulimia for puking up her lunch when her ribs are already poking out, Wagoner told the New York Post, speaking of the estrogen he was given for several years.

Theres a lot of money to be made by doctors here. They see the dollar signs, and in the end, money talks.

Wagoner also recounted how he thought becoming a woman seemed like a way of escaping a homosexual identity something with which he now says he has come to terms and that being trans granted him a sort of celebrity status on his college campus during his early 20s and people suddenly wanted to be his friend.

Medically transitioning only worsened his problems, he said, and he wound up doing hard drugs like heroin and ended up going to rebab four separate times before finally becoming sober.

Once I got off drugs and got a real job, I just had a clear head and started feeling a new gender dysphoria all over again, he said. I was looking at myself in the mirror and looking at my childhood photos as a little boy and started thinking, What have I done?"

Among the things that caused him to start questioning his transition were podcasters Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. He also believes that he would have never considered trying to be a woman had he not been exposed to transgender fetish pornography.

Wagoner blames his distress on those in the medical and counseling industries who further deceived him and set him on this course.

My therapist really was an activist who also happened to be a psychologist, he said.

Wagoner never underwent a cosmetic gender surgery, but the synthetic estrogen has taken a toll on his male body; he has experienced an inflamed pelvic area, has pain while urinating, and is being monitored for osteoporosis.

I probably should have been put in a psychiatric hospital, not given estrogen. I just needed someone to listen to me, but this woman had me go and change my bodys chemistry and my whole life.

Arm in the cloud definitely a trend now with Google Clouds embrace – The Register

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

Comment It's been a rocky year for Arm. First, the British chip designer lost a financial boost with its sale to Nvidia killed by regulator scrutiny. Then Arm laid off staff as it made plans for an initial public offering, and now market conditions aren't looking great for that IPO.

The good news for Arm is that the cloud world has been increasingly warming up to the alternative instruction set architecture. The most recent sign: Google Cloud's introduction on Wednesday of its first Arm-based cloud instance, which the cloud service provider said will "deliver exceptional single-threaded performance at a compelling price."

Meant for "scale-out, cloud-native workloads," Google Cloud's Tau T2A virtual machines are powered by Ampere Computing's Arm-based Altra CPUs. This means the Arm-compatible VMs, available now for preview in the US and Europe, are meant to provide a strong performance-cost ratio for things like web servers, containerized microservices, media transcoding, and large-scale Java applications.

Google Cloud seems pretty stoked about what Arm can bring to the cloud world, given that it plans to let customers and partners try the T2A VMs for free under a trial period to "help jumpstart development." Even when T2A becomes generally available later this year, Google Cloud said it will "continue to offer a generous trial program that offers up to 8 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM at no cost."

The T2A instance is part of Google Cloud's Tau VM family that debuted last year with instances running on AMD's third-gen Epyc Milan CPUs. The Arm-based instance type supports up to 48 virtual CPUs per VM and 4GB of memory per vCPU, and the networking bandwidth can go up to 32 Gbps. It also comes with a "wide range of network-attached storage options."

There are, however, some limitations for T2A, which also exist for the AMD-based T2D instance: no support for extended memory, sole tenancy, nested virtualization, nor custom VM shapes.

While Google Cloud didn't provide any performance comparisons to x86-based instances, Ampere leapt up and said a T2A instance with 32 of its vCPUs was up to 31 percent faster than Google's N2 instance using Intel's Ice Lake silicon with the same number of vCPUs. This was based on an estimated score for the standard SPEC CPU 2017 Integer Rate benchmark.

Using the cloud provider's VM pricing guide, Ampere said a T2A instance provides up to 65 percent better price-performance than the Intel-based N2 instance for on-demand pricing.

As the cloud world has been largely rooted in x86 chips for most of the time, it's right to wonder how Ampere's Arm-based Altra CPUs can handle a wide range of software.

To that end, Ampere is doing its best to give people confidence that its processors are up to various cloud tasks. In a Wednesday blog post, the company noted how "the Arm-based server ecosystem has rapidly matured over the last few years with open-source cloud native software stacks extensively tested and deployed on Ampere Altra-based servers."

"For example, Ampere runs over 135 popular applications across 5 different cloud native infrastructures to ensure that our customers have confidence in the Ampere software environment across the marketplace," wrote Jeff Wittich, Ampere's chief product officer.

The startup's server chips also supports several versions of Linux, including Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS Stream.

Wittich pointed out that Ampere has a section on its website with a large list of applications, programming languages, and other kinds of software that have been tested on its Arm CPU cores.

Google Cloud did manage to get testimonials from a few independent software developers who said porting their code to T2A has been easy.

"We were pleasantly surprised with the ease of portability to Arm instance from day one. The maturity of the T2A platform gives us the confidence to start using these VMs in production," said Khawaja Shams, CEO of Momento, a startup providing serverless caching services.

T2A also got the nod of approval from the world of academia, with Harvard University Research Associate Christoph Gorgulla saying the "improved price-performance" of the instance helped his team "screen more compounds and therefore discover more promising drug candidates."

With the latest introduction of Arm-based cloud instances, the British chip designer's ISA is now supported by six of the world's largest cloud service providers: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. Other cloud providers are getting behind Arm too, such as JD Cloud, UCloud, and Equinix Metal.

All of this means it's very safe to say that cloud providers adopting Arm is definitely a trend now.

This is a development that would have been unthinkable to some people a decade ago, as GitHub engineer Jaana Dogan put it on Twitter.

Getting Arm chips into server-grade environments, running operating systems such a Linux, has taken a large amount of cooperation between software and hardware worlds primarily to agree on and stick to a standard base of features and expectations in these computers. This has made building and running software on Arm systems, particularly server boxes, relatively boring: it should just work like x86 just works, and it seems to do so.

AWS also helped paved the way for Arm's rise in the cloud with its decision to design an Arm-based server CPU in house using the talent it gained from Amazon's 2015 acquisition of chip designer Annapurna Labs. The cloud giant is now on the third generation of its Graviton chip, which is available in Elastic Compute Cloud instances now and for which it continues to make big price-performance claims against x86 chips.

That said, when considering all the other major cloud providers introducing Arm-based instances, plus some of the smaller ones, there's one common element linking them: Ampere Computing.

Founded by former Intel executive Renee James, the Silicon Valley-based startup recently said growing support for its Altra processors by a variety of businesses and cloud providers shows that the chips are better suited for cloud applications than Intel's or AMD's.

Like Arm, Ampere is also planning an IPO at some point, assuming that market conditions eventually get better. If you're curious about some of the ways Ampere's chip designs are a good fit for cloud applications, we suggest you read our recent interview with Ampere exec Jeff Wittich.

While the cloud world's growing embrace of Arm is a welcome sign for anyone tired of Intel's dominance over the space, the question now is how long Arm and silicon partners like Ampere and AWS can keep this momentum going. After all, Intel and AMD both have plans to introduce specialized cloud chips in the near future, and who knows, maybe RISC-V can shake things up even further.

Why These 3 Cloud Companies Will Continue to Take Market Share – The Motley Fool

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

The cloud infrastructure market today is dominated by an oligopoly of giants that got into the business early and grew their operations quickly: Amazon (AMZN 0.21%), Alphabet (GOOG -0.67%), and Microsoft (MSFT 0.54%). Now, with the benefit of economies of scale, they are positioned to maintain and expand their commanding leads in a market with a long growth runway.

But their stocks are down significantly this year, which some investors may see as an opportunity.

Between them, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have captured a majority of the $180 billion global cloud infrastructure market. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the 800-pound gorilla with about a third of the market. Microsoft's Azure and Alphabet's Google Cloud check in at 21% and 10%, respectively.

Image source: Getty Images.

A business that can benefit from economies of scale gains cost advantages as it grows, and in the world of cloud infrastructure, there are a host of size advantages to be had.

For instance, by grouping server farms into massive data centers, companies pay stable costs for the cooling systems those servers require. In the same vein, it takes an enormous amount of electricity to operate a data center. As cloud companies add customers, their revenues grow while their energy costs remain relatively fixed. Their decreasing marginal costs can be passed on to customers, giving the largest cloud players a pricing edge over their smaller peers.

In addition, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft continue to add software and new functionalities to their cloud services, bundling them with their cloud hosting packages and giving their customers the ability to save time and money by only dealing with a single vendor. It's a strategy that harks back to former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' famous quote: "Your margin is our opportunity."

Launching a cloud infrastructure hosting service requires massive initial investments in constructing data centers. Today's leading players were able to approach that hurdle from a position of strength because they had strong cash-generating business segments to fund those outlays. For example, Microsoft may have used income generated by its Windows and Office businesses to start its Azure segment. On the other hand, cloud-centric start-ups need to raise those vast sums via equity or debt sales just to get off the ground and compete with the cost-advantaged incumbents.

Interestingly, the legacy business segments that gave these three companies the financial muscle to build out their cloud operations are now in part the causes of their falling stock prices. Alphabet's primary source of revenue and profits is advertising. In 2021, 81% of its top line came from advertising while just 7.5% came from Google Cloud. Advertising is a cyclical business, and fears that a recession is imminent have helped drive Alphabet's shares down by 20% this year.

Similarly, Amazon generated 69% of its revenues from its e-commerce platform, while just 13% came from AWS. Investors mulling the possibility of a slowdown in consumer spending have pushed Amazon's stock down by 34% in 2022.

Researchers at Precedence Research estimate that the cloud computing market -- worth $380 billion in 2021 -- will grow at a compound annual rate of 17.4% through 2030 to reach $1.614 trillion. Due to their dominance and economies of scale, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft should continue to gain market share as that growth progresses. And the roles those companies' cloud segments play in their overall businesses will likely become more prominent too. As such, opportunistic investors may find long-term value in these three cloud stocks while they're down.

Suzanne Frey, an executive at Alphabet, is a member of The Motley Fool's board of directors. John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market, an Amazon subsidiary, is a member of The Motley Fool's board of directors. BJ Cook has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet (A shares), Alphabet (C shares), Amazon, and Microsoft. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Arm-based Alibaba Cloud T-Head Yitian 710 Crushes SPECrate2017_int_base – ServeTheHome

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

We have our first look at a next-generation Arm v9 CPU supporting new features like PCIe Gen5 and DDR5. The T-Head Yitian 710 is Alibaba Clouds Arm offering that is expected to be available in September 2022, has an official SPEC CPU2017 integer score listed, and it is a monster result for this 128-core processor.

Here is the Alibaba Cloud T-Head Yitan 710 result in one of the companys Panjiu-M series servers at 510. Here is the incredible result using DDR5 (PC5-4800B-R) memory.

Since the Alibaba T-Head Yitian 710 result was formally submitted, reviewed, and published in the official results list, we can only use those results to compare other processors. As a single socket solution, the Ampere Altra only has the 80 core model in a Gigabyte server at 301.

That is 3.763/ core. Alibabas new generation is 3.984/core so it would likely be slightly above the range of an official Ampere Altra Max 128 core 1P system score.

Just for some reference point, an ASUS AMD EPYC 7773X (Milan-X) CPU with 64 cores has published results of 440 or 6.875/ core, but with half as many cores and older generation DDR4 (albeit with a larger L3 cache.)

The EPYC 7763 official results for the ASUS server are 436 so even the 3D V-Cache is not helping a lot here.

Here is a list of the current top SPEC CPU2017 integer rate results for single-socket servers:

Alibaba Cloud did not submit floating-point results as those are still dominated by AMD EPYC 7773X results from ASUS, Cisco, HPE, Gigabyte, and Supermicro.

Often cloud providers prioritize integer performance rather than floating-point performance in their processors, and so this may be why those results were not submitted. Also, for those wondering, the fastest Intel single-socket result we could find was for the 36-core Intel Xeon Platinum 8351N, so we excluded that from the results.

This is very exciting to see that the Alibaba Cloud team was able to achieve solid numbers with its next-generation PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 chips. While these new T-Head Yitian 710 chips are hitting performance numbers ~16% higher than Milan-X, AMD Genoas top-bin SKUs should offer significant uplift even in this benchmark well beyond 16%. Also, while one may be quick to say that Alibaba will be faster than Ampere just based on these results, Amperes next generation is a custom-designed core so hopefully, they will bridge the small performance gap between Alibaba Clouds next-generation and Amperes 2020 generation with AmpereOne.

Get ready for the next few months!

HPE’s Transformation Was On Full Display At Discover 2022 – Forbes

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

Digital transformation, modernization, zero trust and data-driven are buzzwords every IT executive has likely heard one too many times. Nevertheless, these concepts are keys to survival in the digital economy. This is a truism for companies across all vertical industries, including those that build the technology fueling modernization projects.

HPE started its transformation in 2018, with the introduction of GreenLake. At Discover 2019, Antonio Neri announced that by the end of 2022, every HPE product in its portfolio would be offered as-a-Service. And then Covid hit.

HPE Discover felt much more energized this year. Maybe it was the two-year hiatus and the transformation of HPEs portfolio in the intervening years, or maybe it was Janet Jackson. Probably a bit of all three. Regardless, here are my big takeaways from HPE Discover 2022.

HPE is embracing native cloud with Arm

In case you didn't hear, HPE announced the ProLiant RL300 Gen11 server, a 1u single-socket server packing up to 128 single-threaded Ampere Altra (or Altra Max) CPUs. While the ProLiant team may not have been consciously trying to make a statement, the introduction of an Arm-based server as the first member of the ProLiant Gen11 family did it for them.

HPE introduces the first major OEM server based on Arm

According to the announcement materials, the new server specifically targets digital enterprises and service providers. Both of these target markets make sense. Arm-based instances in the cloud have seen a lot of success since they achieved performance parity with x86 for cloud-native applications, at a lower cost and power envelope to boot. It makes sense that an enterprise with a significant digital presence would want to replicate this environment in-house. Think about ithundreds to thousands of servers running your cloud-native workloads, with each server delivering considerable cost savings. It adds up.

The service provider space also makes perfect sense. As-a-Service can help customers of all sizes realize the same economic benefits as the cloud giants such as AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud (OCI).

One of the things I found very interesting about this announcement was the inclusion of the OpenBMC firmware stack. HPE, like other server vendors, likes to provide a premium management experience through its iLO baseboard management controller (BMC). Utilizing a vendor-specific BMC stack hooks IT organizations into using that vendor's management console (in this case, OneView).

By populating the RL300 with the OpenBMC firmware stack, HPE fully is fully embracing the realities of the cloud-native datacenter, where open-source tools are used to deploy, provision and manage infrastructure. It is the seemingly smaller things like this (support for OpenBMC) that demonstrates HPEs understanding of what the hybrid future looks like and how it should align its portfolio to meet the needs of the market.

HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 highlights

Some may read this and think interesting, but this isnt going to be successful. Given the fits and starts that Arm has had in the datacenter, I get it. But think about this HPE would not be investing the millions of non-recurring engineering (NRE) dollars into a mainstream platform unless there was a market and customers were asking for it. In an era when server portfolios are shrinking across many vendors, HPE invested in this platform. This should tell you something.

For complete coverage on the RL300, read this analysis I wrote with Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) Founder and CEO Patrick Moorhead. Also, watch this video where MI&S colleague Steve McDowell and I quickly analyze the announcement.

HPE is a services company

HPE announced GreenLake back at Discover 2018. A year later, HPE CEO Antonio Neri stood on stage and proclaimed that the entire HPE portfolio would be made available as-a-Service through this still newish consumption-based model by the end of 2022.

Fast forward to 2022, and the transformation has happened. HPE is, without a doubt, a services company. Throughout the keynotes and the individual sessions, the company seems to be singularly focused on GreenLake as the delivery vehicle for tailored solutions such as cloud-native, data analytics, machine learning and HPC.

How focused is the company? Lets put it this way apart from the RL300 announcement, I don't think I heard ProLiant mentioned. Nor did I see the brand on any signage on the show floor or anywhere else. Id say the same for the HPE storage portfolio.

Does HPE no longer sell servers, storage and networking? Of course not! In addition to being the building blocks of GreenLake, the company will continue to sell the entire portfolio of servers, storage boxes and networking solutions. The world is full of companies that still buy, rack and deploy infrastructure in the traditional manner. Still, the company's direction is clear.

A final note on HPE as a service company. It's one thing to deliver the portfolio in a consumption-based manner. Other OEMs have certainly followed HPE's lead. What makes HPE unique is its organizational pivot and drive to as-a-Service, not just through branding and consistency of messaging, but across the company and functions. I have spoken with HPE customers, channel partners and ecosystem partners. This company has a GreenLake-first mindset.

GreenLake Managed Services (GMS) is a function within HPE that maybe doesnt get as much coverage as it should, but I find it extremely valuable as an ex-IT person. For companies looking to deploy one of the over 70 cloud services on GreenLake, there are still many challenges around planning, deploying, provisioning, securing and governing my environment. But as any IT person can attest, there aren't hours in the day to stand up and support new environments. With GMS, I can hand this function to the GreenLake team to manage for me. And this is lifecycle management, including regulatory and licensing compliance and license optimization. In shortIT can continue to drive transformation, the IT budget can realize savings through licensing optimization and the CISO can rest a little better at night.

Security continues to be a key pillar of the HPE strategy

I've been writing about HPE's security capabilities since it introduced silicon root of trust into its ProLiant servers in 2017. What started as a method to protect infrastructure at the lowest levels has evolved into a full-stack, zero-trust architecture. Actually, full-stack may not be a fair statement as security starts in the supply chain.

HPE's posture on security as a selling point has also evolved since 2017. When the company's ProLiant Gen9 servers first launched, the selling point was "the industry's most secure servers." Fast forward to 2022, and the view is that security and zero trust is a fundamental design principle.

With this said, I think security is more than a design principle it appears to be baked into the companys fabric. This may seem hyperbolic, but the company has invested heavily in securing HPE environments. Below are a few quick thoughts on what I gleaned from Discover a more detailed viewpoint will be published next week.

1. Remember Project Aurora? Its real.

HPE announced Project Aurora at Discover 2020. Project Aurora is a zero-trust architecture that locks down HPE infrastructure from sourcing materials to end of life. Not only that, Project Aurora is designed to build a secure chain of custody across the lifecycle and up the stack from silicon to the data being created and used in workloads and applications (you can read my coverage of it here).

Fast forward a year, and you may wonder whether Project Aurora ever moved beyond the project phase. The answer is yes. HPE is enabling the functionality of Project Aurora in its newly announced GreenLake Enterprise Private Cloud solution. It makes sense that we would see Project Aurora instantiated in the Private Cloud solution first, as this is a very controlled environment. I expect this to be rolled out into all GreenLake offerings in the near future.

2. Shared Responsibility HPE offers a framework for securing the hybrid environment.

So here's the question for you IT pros. Do you feel completely comfortable understanding the shared responsibility between you and your public cloud provider regarding security? From the conversations Ive had, the answers have been mixed.

However, when GreenLake or a GreenLake-like model is introduced into the environment, those lines get blurred.

The blurred lines of responsibility

Enter HPE GreenLake Security Shared Responsibility Model (SSRM). The SSRM gives HPE and its customers a clear line of responsibility and ownership spanning the different potential deployment scenarios.

For those who are still a little confused as to what SSRM is it is not a piece of software or hardware. Its an HPE-developed framework that enables an enterprise IT organization to manage its security profile when deploying workloads and data on GreenLake. I like to equate SSRM to kind of a RACi (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed) Matrix in project management in that clear boundaries are drawn so that security ownership is never called into question.

SSRM defining ownership of security

The SSRM session that HPE Chief Security Officer Bobby Ford and A&PS Operations Lead Simon Leech held was well worth watching (see it here),partly because this program is so well thought out, and partly because it reminds us how security in the enterprise is much bigger than just technology. It's people, processes, programs and constant poking and testing of these elements regularly.

1. Security strategies must be living.

There were a lot of other great security sessions throughout Discover and they can all be watched on-demand. However, one of the best discussions Steve McDowell and I had was with HPE Global Server Security Product Manager Cole Humphreys and InfusionPoints COO Jason Shropshire. The video can be found here, but the theme of the conversation was simple security must be a design and supply chain principle. In short, the security strategy that fails to evolve is the security strategy that will fail.

Other thoughts

Just a few more random observations to throw your way:

Finally, let me end where I started. HPE Discover 2022 was pretty special. The company has transformed before our eyes, and there is plenty of evidence of it being on a solid trajectory. It's time to stop thinking of HPE as a server company or a storage company. HPE is an IT solutions and services company, with a strong emphasis on services.

Docker, Bionic, and More Cloud Startups That Raised VC Funding in 2022 – Business Insider

July 15, 2022 | Author: admin

With the public markets suffering in recent months amid rising interest rates, supply-chain issues, and rampant inflation, venture funding and investing have slowed. Investors are more cautious about deals, and startups can no longer rely on huge funding rounds to fuel their growth.

Investment in cloud startups boomed in 2021, with over 900 cloud-tech and DevOps startups raising $21.5 billion globally last year, according to PitchBook.

But it appears the frenzy has slowed. In the first half of this year, 362 companies received a total of $5.61 billion, according to PitchBook. In the US, 455 cloud startups raised a total of $15.2 billion last year, while so far this year 177 companies have raised $3.51 billion. The global and US totals are on track to be significantly lower than last year.

But some startups have managed to raise significant rounds this year. The investor Andreessen Horowitz has said it hasn't slowed down funding. Investors at Vertex Ventures, which focuses on early-stage investments for cloud infrastructure and software companies, told Insider they are still investing as well.

But many VCs who are still investing say they're being more cautious when deciding to invest in a company. When she raised her latest round, Mathilde Collin, the CEO of Front, an email startup, told Insider that investors cared more about efficiency than the growth-at-all-costs model that found favor when the market was hotter. She said investors also spent more time than usual doing due diligence, including speaking directly to Front's customers.

To get a sense of which cloud companies have been able to raise new funding this year, Insider looked at data compiled by PitchBook. Many make tools for companies to manage their cloud usage or tools for developers, while others offer enterprise blockchain technology.
