Abstract :
An intelligent IT Infrastructure will deliver extremely high performance, adaptability and security to users in the future. Building on the advancements in utility computing, smart data centers, automation, virtualization and intelligent networks, Hewlett Packard Labs is positioning itself to redefine datacenters, networks, software and devices. This talk will provide an overview of research being performed at HP Labs on four areas that will enable an Intelligent Infrastructure: Computing, storage, networking and nanotechnology. 1) We´re helping transition computing to exascale computing, in which every processor chip has multiple CPU cores, and a new generation of software puts these parallel processes to good use; 2) We´re building a cloud-scale, intelligent storage system that is self-managed and enterprise-grade; 3) A programmable wired and wireless network platform will make the introduction of new features quick, easy and cost-effective; 4) And breakthroughs in nanotechnology are going to revolutionize the way data is collected, stored and transmitted, using technologies such as the memristor and photonic interconnects.
