Safe. Sanitized. Socially-distant. Today's cities look drastically different than they did before COVID-19. On this episode, HPE's Yanick Pouffary and Lorenzo Gonzales discuss the living, breathing evolution of smart cities and the escalating expectations of urban citizens from Rome to Dubai. 

Online classes. Work From Home. Games streamed from empty stadiums. Physical places have been replaced by digital ones—suddenly and en masse. In this episode, we’ll discuss the tech powering these massive societal transformations and whether they are temporary or permanent shifts.

Cybercriminals have wasted no time taking advantage of the pandemic and the sudden transition to remote work. We unpack the issue, asking experts to step into the shoes of the hackers and assess the new infosec landscape from their POV — before discussing strategies to mitigate those threats.

From the Genome Project to modeling novel viruses, supercomputing is already tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges. In this episode, we’ll imagine what could be solved with an exponential increase in computing power, delving into Exascale — the next era of supercomputing.

Overnight, COVID-19 fundamentally disrupted how we live and work. In part 1, we learned how organizations can assess their current state and why it matters for recovery. Now, hear how companies can shift to resilience, keeping technology at the core of their long-term transformation strategy. This is the conclusion of a special two-part episode of the Element Podcast. This episode’s guests include Maribel Lopez, Rohit Dixit, and Jo Peterson.

Overnight, COVID-19 fundamentally disrupted how we live and work. It sent some organizations scrambling to maintain continuity while others seized the opportunity to transform. What set different organizations down different paths—and why is assessing the current state such an integral first step in recovery?

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed nearly every aspect of our lives, and those on the frontlines are not the only ones facing challenges. The pandemic has brought the tech industry together – activating scientists as volunteers, rallying virtual giving and creating platforms for humanitarian programs – to make hard times a little easier.

Super-driving a cure for coronavirus, giving doctors access to more information to solve patient challenges, helping farmers grow healthier food for consumption? What do these things have in common? Supercomputers. Consumers don’t always know or appreciate the unseen computing power of supercomputers that helps ‘get stuff done’ and enhance our lives on a daily basis. In this episode of The Element Podcast, we’ll explore the real-world use cases for supercomputing and what you should now.

From the rise of telemedicine to the medical applications, healthcare, and the patient experience is changing rapidly as a result of COVID-19.  We explore the leaps in technology and adoption that are core to the advances in medicine and the patient experience.

The size of the pandemic was unprecedented and created a reverberating effect including across the tech industry and customers.  What are the challenges that the industry, customers, and partners face?  What were the lessons learned?  And what does it mean to ‘earthquake-proof’ for the future?  We’ll answer those questions in this episode of The Element Podcast.


While the location of data and workloads is already shaping the industry’s hybrid existence, the future beholds even greater promises of increased efficiency, simplicity and ability to gather insights from data in real time. In this episode, guests share their best guesses for what the future holds. This episode’s guests include Phil Davis, Robert Christiansen, Paul Glaser, Jeremiah K. Owyang, Jessica Groopman and Sally Eaves.

Are specific industries in a different stage in their hybrid cloud journey? In this episode, we explore the ones that are greatly benefiting from a dash of hybrid cloud and find out which are exceeding expectations. This episode’s guests include Phil Davis, Bob Laliberte, Daniel Newman, Drew Lentz, Jeremiah K. Owyang, Sally Eaves and Tim Crawford.

While the shift to hybrid cloud presents opportunities for how businesses access and utilize their data, there are still hurdles preventing companies from fully embracing hybrid cloud. In this episode, we’ll explore how standardization and security are necessary to enable data to be more accessible and more normalized across IT environments. This episode’s guests include Robert Christiansen, Scott Yow, Daniel Newman, Jo Petersen, Anurag Agrawal, Dana Gardner and Tim Crawford.

The IT industry is undergoing a shift to hybrid and, with that shift, new IT consumption models are gaining ground. In this episode, we explore how customers’ search for choice, simplicity and scalability is leading to adoption of a cloud-like experience across the data center and to as a Service consumption models. This episode’s guests include Phil Davis, Pradeep Kumar, Robert Christiansen, Scott Yow, Jeramiah K. Owyang, Bob O'Donnell, Anurag Agrawal, Sally Eaves, Daniel Newman, Jo Petersen, Ronald Van Loon, Bob Laliberte and Dana Gardner.

Medical testing today is inefficient, expensive and rarely customized to meet the needs of individual patients. The medical community needs the ability to reimagine medical research, eliminate clinical trials and end human and animal testing.  By harnessing technology, we can empower the medical community to break free from the confines of traditional research.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise & Purdue University sit down to discuss the challenges facing the sustainability of our food supply over the next decade and the need for technology solutions to help feed the world. Our approach needs to extend beyond agriculture to the global food supply chain so more food gets to hungry people and less ends up in landfills as waste.

Through an open collaboration with the World Economic Forum, leaders across industry, technology, academia and government are coming together to solve a series of societal challenges in key industries including agriculture, financial services, healthcare, transportation and manufacturing. They are setting milestones, contributing ideas and aligning resources to accelerate our ability to solve these critical problems.

Cybercrime has gone from the province of lone hackers and state entities in the shadows to a profit-driven industry that is increasingly exploiting enterprises and individuals. We sit down with experts from Europol and the FBI to better understand the risks these groups pose to your infrastructure, data and intellectual property.

Your IT resources are increasingly moving to the Edge in the form of sensors and networking. You may already be dealing with the new challenge of this IoT revolution – what to do with all that new data? It’s too slow and expensive to send to the cloud or the datacenter and back. Meanwhile, you have to manage & monitor the all those new sensors. Having trouble keeping up with all this new complexity? You’re not alone, and the solution may be accelerating adoption of AI.
