The UK Innovation Corridor is more than just London and Cambridge…

Prior to the pandemic I was used to a daily commute from Slough to Harlow – I know the top lefthand corner of the M25 all too well! As someone that’s worked in-and-around data centres for more than 20 years it might seem odd leaving what’s often regarded as data centre HQ in Slough, to […]

Supercomputing at the Speed of Light

Collaborating with NVIDIA comes with […]
