The US government is worried there might not be enough trained workers to fill the needs of the CHIPS act. President Biden has announced a Workforce Partner Alliance (WFPA) to ensure the gap for skilled workers will be closed as soon as possible. WFPA is designed to reward providers with grants of between $500,000 and $2 million to provide the training for these new chip facilities. Is this something that we can count on? Or will it turn into another boondoggle like ITT Tech? This and more on this week’s Rundown.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched a private cloud solution leveraging the KVM hypervisor, aiming at customers upset by the Broadcom-VMware merger. This is added to the existing bare-metal and container solutions in HPE’s Private Cloud offering. HPE is also the latest major IT vendor to partner with NVIDIA on a suite of private cloud solutions designed to accelerate the deployment of generative AI in enterprise environments. This includes a complete turn-key AI hardware solution, including new servers equipped with the latest NVIDIA H200 accelerators, which are also available on-demand through GreenLake. HPE is also announcing the OpsRamp AI copilot for automated IT operations and HPE Private Cloud AI to accelerate customer AI application deployment.
Wi-Fi has changed the way we work in the office but it’s not the only wireless technology. Challenging environments require new solutions like private 5G.

I had the chance to interview CTO and Co-founder Brandon Heller of Forward Networks during Cisco Live and he had some great stories to tell me about the future of the company. They’ve been working hard to solve customer issues and unlock the critical information that has been stored away for so long with no way to understand what is important.
The US Justice Department and FCC have announced an agreement that gives them each a role to play in potential antitrust investigations against the biggest players in the AI market. Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI were named in the agreement specifically according to insider reports. This follows reports that antitrust investigators have big concerns about AI and how companies developing it get their data to train the models. This agreement is modeled on a similar one from 2019 that eventually saw lawsuits brought against Meta, Amazon, and Google for antitrust violations. Back in January the US FTC had asked many companies to provide investment information as well as partnerships with generative AI companies.
AI is at the top of the hype cycle and it feels unstoppable. Once upon a time blockchain was in the same place. In this episode, Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Evan Mintzer and Jody Lemoine.
Transferring files between systems can be a hassle. Especially if regulations and privacy are a key concern. Entegria Systems new release of RheoWorx aims to make those file transfers simple and secure while also adding critical workflow management tools. Tom Hollingsworth looks at their solution and how it can change the way we send files.
