Practical notes on AI/HPC infrastructure, storage, cooling, and procurement - not generic marketing fluff.
No - treat posts as guidance. Your BOM still needs an architecture review and current silicon availability.
Silicon moves fast; confirm lead times and SKUs at quote time.
Ask marketing/sales for permission and the preferred citation - especially for public RFPs.
Articles
Engineering and procurement insights—filter with tags or archives in the sidebar.
Custom silicon tuned for a fixed function (crypto, networking, AI) offering efficiency when volumes justify the design cost.
Systems that learn patterns from data to classify, generate, or decide—delivered at NTS as GPU platforms with secure staging.
IoT devices plus on-device or edge AI that act on sensor streams without round-tripping every sample to a central cloud.
Cloud-like provisioning of dedicated physical servers without a shared hypervisor—useful for licensed software and noisy-neighbor avoidance.
A physical host dedicated to one tenant or workload; NTS images, burns in, and ships with firmware baselines for federal builds.
Silicon or virtualized functions that modulate/demodulate radio waveforms in cellular systems—often co-located with edge compute.
High-volume, high-velocity datasets that need distributed compute and scalable storage rather than a single RDBMS.
LUN-style volumes presented as disks to servers—SAN or software-defined—for databases and VMs.
Controls protecting distributed ledgers—key custody, node hardening, and network segmentation on dedicated servers.
Hosts optimized for validator or ledger node workloads with reliable networking and secure key storage.
Baseboard Management Controller—out-of-band firmware that enables remote power, console, and health monitoring independent of the OS.
Temporary CPU/GPU frequency increase above base clocks when thermal and power headroom allow—factored into NTS cooling designs.
Reporting and dashboards on curated enterprise data; increasingly adjacent to GPU-accelerated predictive models.
Controller Area Network—a rugged vehicle/industrial serial bus; relevant when edge gateways bridge OT protocols to IP networks.
Content Delivery Network that caches content at PoPs to reduce latency and origin load for media and software distribution.
