    Science on the edge of space: Exploring the possibilities opened up by HPE Spaceborne Computer 2

    In this episode we are revisiting HPE Spaceborne Computer 2, the supercomputer at the edge of space, speeding around above our heads on the International Space Station (ISS).
    Last week, we looked at the science behind the system. This week, we’re exploring how HPE Spaceborne Computer 2 is speeding up the time it takes for experiments to be carried out in space, with the Principal Investigator for HPE Spaceborne Computer-2, Mark Fernandez.
    This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

    How a supercomputer on the International Space Station is revolutionising science on the edge

    In the next couple of episodes we’re going to be looking at HPE Spaceborne Computer 2 - a supercomputer on the International Space Station (ISS) that’s revolutionising computing at the edge, and science in space.
    This week, we’ll be looking at the science behind the computer. Next week, we’ll be looking at the way it’s changing the way research is conducted in orbit and beyond.
    So how is ddge computing changing how scientists and astronauts benefit from space exploration? To explain, we’re joined by the Principal Investigator for HPE Spaceborne Computer-2, Mark Fernandez.

    How the public sector is dealing with cyber security in hybrid cloud

    How the public sector is dealing with cyber security in hybrid cloud

    In this episode we are looking at how the public sector is embracing the hybrid cloud model and what steps need to be taken to be certain our information, as members of the public, is kept safe. It’s a big issue. In 2021 and 2022 the largest percentage of cyber threats and attacks were reported by governments and the public sector, according to the European Parliament.
    So, what operational security strategies are being tailored for public sector needs? How does regulation differ between the public and private sector when it comes to hybrid cloud security? And how can leaders in health, education, the military, public transport and law enforcement ensure that adopting a hybrid cloud model is a secure option?
    To fill us in is Simon Leech, Director at Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Center of Excellence for Cybersecurity and Digital Risk Management.

    How IT is revolutionizing the tricky world of car manufacturing

    How IT is revolutionizing the tricky world of car manufacturing

    Tech is having a transformative effect on manufacturing, nowhere more so than in car manufacturing. IT is involved in every step of the process chain: from design to manufacture. And whilst advancements in technology have sped up the process; that also comes with its own challenges. The methods to train and monitor robots, as well as humans, are constantly evolving as AI plays a bigger part in the process.
    And then, of course, there's integrating the manufacturing and sales process, as customers demand more and more customisability in their vehicles. In this episode, we're joined by Peter Grendel, Managing Director of ABAT+, to look at the challenges and opportunities that come with using modern technology and sustainable engineering in order to get a brand new car from concept to production. 
    This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

    Encouraging future generations into STEM

    Encouraging future generations into STEM

    Despite a huge boom in technological innovation around the world and an expanding tech industry, the number of graduates who have come from STEM subjects remains relatively low. Just over a quarter of university graduates in the UK have studied a STEM course, and in the US it’s less than 1-in-5.  Within that, there is still a huge disparity in gender after secondary school compulsory education.
    In this episode we’ll be looking at how we can engage the next, and future generations in science and technology-led professions, and the importance of role models in showing what can be achieved by a career in STEM, with former NASA rocket scientist, STEM ambassador, entrepreneur and confirmed future astronaut, Aisha Bowe.

    Facing the ethical concerns of AI

    Facing the ethical concerns of AI

    The ethical question of AI has been at the forefront of its development. Today, there is a global rush to establish legal and ethical frameworks around AI, such as the European Parliament AI Act, which aim to legislate around concerns surrounding potential bias from bad data sets or algorithms, privacy concerns, and non-discrimination.
    Our guest this week is Principal Data Scientist and AI Ambassador at HPE, Iveta Lohovska. We’ll be discussing the practicality of placing guardrails around AI, as well as the ethical approach that needs to be taken for training models - and whether the sheer scale of its growth is leaving us vulnerable as a society.
