In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, data center technology rules the roost. We can toil away at the world’s greatest IoT design, embedded computer, or specialized IC – but it’s the diligence of datacenter technology that holds the key to the success of our electronic design community. In this week’s Fish Fry, we take a closer look at two different aspects of data center technology. Sachin Dhingra and I investigate a new CCIX verification IP recently rolled out by Cadence that hopes to ease data center interconnect bottlenecks. We also check out IBM’s world record-breaking magnetic tape storage announcement and examine why it makes makes tape competitive for cloud storage.
