What Multicloud Connectivity Requires of the Data Center

Maybe you can remember the dawn of bell-bottom blue jeans, the first time you saw someone dance “The Hustle,” and the first day you heard the phrase, “next-generation data center” uttered by someone with a straight face.

Since the turn of the century, the phrase has been taken to mean a number of different things: for instance, the advent of blade server substrates, and the establishment of the first “virtual services” prior to the idea of public cloud.  In 2001, analysts began using it to refer to what VMware was accomplishing: driving up server consolidation by compressing multiple workloads onto a single virtual platform.

If Software is Eating the Data Center, Power is Its Next Meal

Critical Thinking is a weekly column on innovation in data center infrastructure design and management. More about the column and the author here.

The concept of the software-defined data center has been bandied around the industry for several years now.

Essentially it refers to the idea that all of the IT infrastructure within a facility -- networking, storage, and compute -- can be virtualized and software controlled.

More recently some progressive industry experts and suppliers have tried to apply the same approach to facilities infrastructure.

For example back in 2013, data center management software specialist Power Assure became one of the first companies to introduce the concept of “software-defined power.”

The company’s CTO, Clemens Pfeiffer, wrote an article for Data Center Knowledge at the time where he outlined the proposition:

Oracle Wants to Make It Tougher for Chinese Firms to Buy U.S. Companies



Software maker Oracle is backing bipartisan legislation that aims to toughen foreign investment rules amid increasing concern over Chinese efforts to buy U.S. high-tech companies, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

The bills, which were introduced last week, would expand the power of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), allowing it to review smaller investments and add new national security factors, such as exposure of Americans’ Social Security numbers, for CFIUS to consider.

CFIUS, an inter-agency panel, reviews proposed transactions for national security concerns. CFIUS can recommend that a transaction be prohibited, but only the president can issue an order to stop or suspend a deal.

In a letter addressed to three senators who introduced the legislation, Oracle senior vice president Kenneth Glueck welcomed the identical bills in the Senate and House of Representatives.

“We appreciate the language is narrowly tailored to focus on specific national security concerns, distinguishing between investments that are financially motivated and investments that are strategically motivated, such as improving foreign military capabilities or other strategic objectives,” Glueck wrote in the letter to Republican Senators John Cornyn and Richard Burr and Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein.

The House bill was introduced by Republican Representative Robert Pittenger, also with bipartisan co-sponsors.

iPhone X Production Costs See Foxconn Profit Fall



Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn said Tuesday its third-quarter profit dropped by more than a third, dragged by costs associated with producing the latest iPhone model.

Also known as Hon Hai, the firm is the world's biggest contract electronics maker and assembles Apple's iPhones.

Its net income in July-September fell 39.3 percent from a year earlier to TWD 21 billion ($696 million), lower than the TWD 37.2 billion estimate compiled by Bloomberg.

Revenue in the third quarter only increased a marginal 0.33 percent to TWD 1.08 trillion, according to a Hon Hai statement Tuesday.

Analysts say that the quarter's profit took a hit due to the costs of producing the iPhone X, Apple's most expensive flagship device.

The new gadget - which marks the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone release - went on sale earlier this month with long queues at Apple stores around the globe.

Hon Hai's fourth-quarter results should improve on sales of the iPhone X, which appears to be strong so far, analysts say.

The firm's billionaire founder Terry Gou - known for his aggressive dealmaking - has been snapping up investments from Japan to India as a bid to diversify from simply being an assembler of electronics.

It acquired troubled electronic giant Sharp last year to gain its cutting-edge LCD screen technology despite having to absorb the Japanese firm's huge losses and debts.

In July, Foxconn announced a $10 billion investment to build a plant in Wisconsin, a move praised by US President Donald Trump.

Gou said then the firm will continue to invest in other US states.

He attempted to bid for Toshiba's memory chip unit but was rebuffed when the Japanese firm said in September it signed an agreement to sell to a consortium led by US investor Bain Capital and includes Apple.

Qualcomm rejects $130B Broadcom merger bid



WASHINGTON, DC, USA – Qualcomm on Monday, November 13, rejected a $130 billion bid from fellow computer chip maker Broadcom, setting the stage for a potentially bitter fight for control of a key player in the world of mobile technology.

The proposal "significantly undervalues Qualcomm relative to the company's leadership position in mobile technology and our future growth prospects," Paul Jacobs, Qualcomm's executive chairman, said in a statement following last week's offer which would be the largest ever in the technology sector.

Singapore-based Broadcom made the offer to consolidate two major players in the booming sector fueled by growth in smartphones and other connected devices.

Steve Mollenkopf, Qualcomm's chief executive, said in the statement the California company remains confident about its future on its own.

"No company is better positioned in mobile, IoT (internet of things), automotive, edge computing and networking within the semiconductor industry," he said.

"We are confident in our ability to create significant additional value for our stockholders as we continue our growth in these attractive segments and lead the transition to 5G," he said, referring to the fifth generation wireless networks in the works.

Broadcom responded to the announcement by saying it "remains fully committed" to the planned tie-up.
