Open-source News

The end of 2025 is quickly approaching and while there are the various end of year holidays, you can still expect to find new and original content on Phoronix each and every single day of the year just as it's been for more than a decade of the now 21-year-old Phoronix.com. The last day without any new content on Phoronix was all the way back in May of 2012. That's due to my passion for Linux hardware and open-source, paired in more recent years with the more grueling environment to make ends meet with the ever increasing state of the web advertising industry, rampant ad-block use, and related challenges for web publishers. If you would like to show your support for Phoronix's Linux hardware content over the past two decades, this week is the "Cyber Week" / "Black Friday" sale to go ad-free, multi-page-articles on a single page, and other benefits at a reduced rate...

Data Processing Units (DPUs) represent a significant evolution in datacenter architecture. By offloading infrastructure tasks like networking, security, and storage from the main CPU, they promise to unlock new levels of cloud capabilities. Red Hat OpenShift 4.20 delivers a major breakthrough in solving the primary challenge of DPU adoption: vendor lock-in.This new capability provides unified, vendor-agnostic support for different DPUs, all within a single cluster. This is the result of our focused, standards-based strategy. We began this journey by introducing tech preview support for the fir

AI has fundamentally disrupted the predictable rhythm of technology progression, forcing enterprises into an era of relentless, chaotic innovation. As a result, relying on resiliency—the ability to bounce back from disruption—is no longer enough. Organizations must focus on developing both adaptability and durability.AI is the ultimate stress test. The technology itself is not the greatest barrier—adopting and deploying AI exposes existing weaknesses in an organization's cultural, strategic, and technological foundations. Successfully implementing AI at scale demands building an enterpri

If the platform team vanished tomorrow, what would developers miss: The tools, or the feeling that getting work done was straightforward and safe? Many organisations run platforms that look healthy: Uptime holds, pipelines run, dashboards glow green. Yet delivery still drags, tickets stack up, teams build side‑doors around "the system." Wins exist, but they're invisible. The problem isn’t reliability, it's the experience of shipping. The answer is a practical shift: Treat the platform like a product that enables people. Ship changes like product teams do, design one clear delivery path, an

Telecommunication service providers face the challenge of maximizing return on investment (ROI) on massive 5G investments. Efficient infrastructure deployment is particularly difficult in areas with real-time demand fluctuations, such as stadiums and tourist spots. One key challenge lies in comprehending usage patterns and connectivity performance from the end-user's perspective. A new paradigm is emerging: Customer and AI-driven network investments. This paradigm is being realized as a TM Forum catalyst project to build an AI-driven platform for network investments. Imagine every customer's d
