Although the holiday gift-giving season may be over, Nvidia Corp. co-founder and Chief Executive Jensen Huang was in a very generous mood during his Monday keynote address at the CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas. The leader in accelerated computing, which invented the graphics processing unit more than 25 years ago, still has an insatiable appetite for innovation.
‘Tis the season to ponder what to get that someone in your life who has everything. If you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping and have $249 to spend for a piece of technology about four inches wide, three-and-a-half inches high, and 1.3 inches thick, then Nvidia Corp. has the perfect gift. The tech giant introduced the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit this week. Though that’s a big name for such a small product, don’t be fooled. The latest innovation from Nvidia packs a big wallop in its little package.
The National Hockey League and Amazon Web Services Inc. are working together to change how hockey is experienced, leveraging cloud technologies and data-driven insights to enhance production workflows and fan engagement. At AWS re:Invent last week, representatives from both organizations joined a panel titled “NHL Unlocked: Live cloud production, sports data, and alternate feeds.”

In the same period, 80% said the network was more complex. Increasing complexity leads to blind spots, unplanned downtime, security breaches and other issues that affect businesses.
Amazon Web Services Inc. Chief Executive Matt Garman delivered a three-hour keynote at the company’s annual re:Invent conference to an audience of 60,000 attendees in Las Vegas and another 400,000 watching online, ad they heard a lot of news from the new leader, who became CEO earlier this year after joining the company in 2006.
