Both the CPU and GPU are processors intended to process and execute diverse types of instructions and tasks. Even though they serve different purposes and offer different benefits, both of them are an important part of high-performance servers. They can indeed work together to deliver further processing power. One of the main differences is that
Hyperconvergence is an IT infrastructure aiming to reduce data center complexity. It does so by combining computing, storage, networking and management capabilities in a single system. In addition to reducing complexity, it also allows to increase scalability, flexibility and IT efficiency. Besides, hyperconverged systems help reduce costs while ensuring the necessary availability, reliability and performance.
The Internet has evolved unstoppable since its origins and has become an essential tool for many people around the world — more than 5,500 million individuals use it regularly.

The European data center hubs continue to grow and expand. Although the FLAP market continues to be one of the biggest data center markets in Western Europe, other markets have also been growing considerably during recent years. Since investments are particularly strong in emerging data center markets, such as Madrid and Lisbon. FLAP market The
The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses has been a concern for more than a decade. IPv4 addresses are 32-bit and provide 4,294,967,296 unique addresses. Such a number of IP addresses has become insufficient for the current number of worldwide devices connected to the Internet. However, IPv4 is still the Internet Protocol that routes most of the
The OSI model, short for Open Systems Interconnection model, is a 7-layer model that describes an architecture of data communications in computer networking. The OSI reference model was developed in the late 1970s. However, due to its late invention, it was not implemented and has only remained as a reference model. The current model implemented
We have collected some of the most popular database management systems (DBMS) nowadays. Let’s start by defining what a database management system is. What is a database management system? A database management system (DBMS) is a software used to define, manipulate, retrieve, store and manage data in databases. To sum up, database management systems are
DevOps and DevSecOps are work methodologies that aim to release better software, faster. They focus on the collaboration between software development and IT operations departments to increase agility in development and deployment processes. These methodologies are based on the Agile methodology to speed up processes across departments. These new approaches to software development are based
