RStor Startup Launches Multicloud Platform for Enterprise Performance Computing

Today the RStor startup launched a  “hyper-distributed multicloud platform” that enables organizations to compute, connect, and operate above the cloud. ”
The legacy model of the consolidated data center with its thousands of networked computers, redundant power supplies and environmental controls isn’t relevant to the computing demands of AI and machine learning. Instead, a new internet based on a distributed network, where computing happens where data lives, is what customers today demand,” said Giovanni Coglitore, founder and CEO, RStor. “Having founded Rackable Systems and led the disruption of the hardware server market, I have seen firsthand the industry gains that come from breaking open the black box of proprietary IT infrastructure. That same hunger is driving the need for a hyper-distributed platform that can manage multicloud environments to achieve greater choice and cost savings.”

In this slidecast, Alexander Lidow from EPC describes how the company is leading a technological revolution with Gallium Nitride (GaN). More efficient than silicon as a basis for electronics, GaN could save huge amounts of energy in the datacenter and has the potential to fuel the computer industry beyond Moore’s Law. “Due to its superior switching speeds and smaller footprint, Texas Instruments is working with EPC to build a simpler topology that achieves better efficiency with smaller footprints and significantly lower cost.”
