@spectre_on24809 @storagereview @SipeedIO Currently this is designed for HDMI output only, I don't see a VGA unit in the works. Not that you couldn't cobble something together, but this isn't to replace server KVMs.

@storagereview @SipeedIO most servers still run through the VGA output. Is there an appropriate adapter in the kit?

The Sipeed NanoKVM-USB is in the StorageReview lab! 🖥️ This tiny powerhouse enables remote system management with 4K HDMI loop-out, USB 3.0, and virtual USB drive support. @SipeedIO Full review soon! 🔧💻

Production data centers have a tool for things like this, but Kevin had to get creative, using a Husky work table as a lift for the 400-pound Dell PowerEdge XE9680. It might be time to invest in more pro gear for the StorageReview lab! @DellTech @NANDoperator

Bringing your kids to work is more fun when it's @storagereview. Popcorn and LN2 memories

@storagereview @Supermicro_SMCI @PuneetAnandTech These are the exact type of servers I want to see more of in the field. So many expansion and I/O options. #supermicrostorage2024

CXL needs server designs to support it for easy integration. Check out the latest from Supermicro in their X14 family. Support for 8x ES.2T slots for CXL. @Supermicro_SMCI @PuneetAnandTech #cxl #supermicrostorage2024

CXL has always been so interesting from the perspective of allowing creative ways of adding additional DRAM to servers #SupermicroStorage2024

We've been hands-on with @solidigm flash in AI workloads many times this year. Great fit, especially with the density they offer across different product lines. #supermicrostorage2024

Kevin recently spent time in Dell's laptop torture testing lab. He saw how Dell abuses their laptops with water, hinge robots, and drop testing to ensure rugged workstations live up to what's asked of them. @dell @NANDoperator

@shimonbd @storagereview @weka I'd love to get some hands on time with one of those platforms!

@storagereview @weka We created the data platform to allow for all IO Patterns - Large / Small / Reads / Writes / Metadata / Low Latency - All with no tuning at all - and all on the same data sets - which is what we constantly see from our AI customers We can get technical and explain how

@weka has put a lot of work into defining the view on the AI pipeline. What have you done to tune your storage to be ready for diverse workloads? #SupermicroStorage2024

@storagereview @nvidia We've had a few articles already on this @storagereview. One of the bigger topics that comes up with any new enterprise storage device we cover. #SupermicroStorage2024

We've seen so much interest in GPUDirect Storage with @NVIDIA GPUs and NVMe flash. It makes a huge difference with data-hungry workloads. #SupermicroStorage2024

Hitting the Italian countryside for a cycling trip has been fantastic. Great roads, great food, tons of fun memories along the way.

That moment when it finally clicks for your kids how to balance on a bike. Took a couple hours this past weekend to sort it out. Really proud moment. Now to immediately buy bigger bikes with gears to handle the hills around here.

That feeling you get when a screwdriver and screw seem to be made for each other. *perfect* fit between the @WihaToolsUSA screwdriver and the @HP Elitebook 1040 G11. @storagereview

@MactelecomN Bring some of that energy to my office. Overhauling all the AP and camera feeds this week with new CAT6 wire. Hard part of pulling wire is done. Now it's organizing all of it back to the utility room and tearing out the old wire. Should look nice when done!

Combing some wires

We upgraded all of the cameras in the office with the help of @Ubiquiti. By far the new AI Pro and Theta are the most fun. The 360 lens is nearly invisible in the lab ceiling tile, but lets me see anywhere in that room.

The new @HP Elitebook 1040 G11 has an incredible build. Durable body and you can take it apart to easily service. Even the battery has little tabs to pop over and allow easy battery replacement. Review coming on @storagereview

@Ubiquiti It's really exciting to see @Ubiquiti move up the stack with bigger and better enterprise solutions. Now if only I could get 25G WAN into the lab...

We've been working with more @Ubiquiti hardware in the past month. A new UDM Pro Max, NVR Pro, and a Pro Max 48 PoE will sit behind the scenes. What makes this really fun is just how easy and intuitive the deployments are. Etherlighting on the switch makes it easy to spot stuff.

We were onsite with @Chilldyne a few weeks ago. Their negative pressure liquid loop tech is probably one of the most interesting we've seen. Lots of benefits if you are worried about leaks when you deploy datacenter cooling solutions.
