Oracle has shrunk its on-premise cloud offering down to a single rack

Oracle has announced the availability of its Compute Cloud@Customer on-prem cloud, which in its smallest state can fit onto a single rack.

Despite its on-prem status, Oracle will build, install, own, and remotely manage the infrastructure platform so that IT teams can focus on their increasing list of responsibilities, which recently have included having more say in finances as they begin to work more closely with CTOs amid a troubling economy.

Having control over Compute Cloud@Customer’s location also gives enterprises the power to exercise control over data residency and other compliance considerations.

Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer on one rack

The hardware uses 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors, each with 96 cores, and fast DDR5 memory. Customers can choose to dynamically scale their setup to the sum of up to 2,208 cores in a single rack, and 6,624 cores overall (which would make it a three-rack system).

In the announcement, Oracle compared its setup to those of rivals: “This configuration provides you with 3.8 times the number of cores per rack as an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outpost system and 1.4 times the number available with the densest Microsoft Azure Stack Hub system that we’ve been able to find.”

Storage ranges from 150 TB to 3.4 PB, however it is billable by consumption so those using less than 150 TB will pay a reduced rate accordingly. Storage can be configured as per customers’ requirements: object, block, and file. Oracle will also tailor the pricing based on cores.

Oracle sets its cost per core for Compute Cloud@Customer at $53 per month, compared with AWS Outposts’s $143 per month.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
