Gregory Kurtzer and Hugo Hernández discuss how Rocky Linux and modern infrastructure solutions are making HPC more accessible, how the ecosystem is evolving to support AI workloads, and why simplifying the researcher experience is critical for advancing scientific innovation: https://bit.ly/3Y2GYfT

Bjorn Hovland has been promoted from chief operating officer to president, reporting to founder and CEO Gregory Kurtzer. This appointment marks a major milestone as we scale to meet unprecedented global demand for sovereign, high performance AI infrastructure: https://bit.ly/3KR5jCs

Yesterday's NVIDIA acquisition of SchedMD marks a milestone moment for the HPC community. Slurm powers more than half of the world's top supercomputers, and seeing it receive this level of investment speaks to its enduring importance. Read Gregory Kurtzer’s thoughts: https://bit.ly/3MLUDp8

At SC25, David Godlove announced Fuzzball’s integration with Slurm and PBS, which means that you can now orchestrate containers in HPC. This integration dramatically lowers the adoption risk of modernization initiatives by supporting gradual, user-led adoption. Watch demo: https://bit.ly/48vZ3cj

If your team is spending 20-30% of their time preparing for audits, generating reports, or providing compliance, there’s a better way. Ascender Pro transforms compliance from a time-consuming burden into an automatic byproduct of your infrastructure automation. Read the Q&A: https://bit.ly/3KQatP0

We are pleased to welcome Ramesh Srinivasan as CIQ’s new Vice President of Sales. Ramesh brings over 30 years of enterprise sales leadership with a proven track record of scaling open-source, Linux, and cloud-native businesses from early-stage to significant scale.

Happy 5th Birthday to Rocky Linux! Celebrate by getting involved. Watch our new video on how to contribute, from chat support to testing to hardware and architecture help. Join the community shaping the next five years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw9-lVtg2N8

At SC25, we unveiled one of Fuzzball’s most requested features: native integration with Slurm and PBS. Now you can keep your scheduler and add modern container orchestration with no workflow rewrites. David Godlove breaks it down here: https://bit.ly/4pjoNhS

Final day at KubeCon! The CIQ team has been deep in convos at Booth 1242 and our SKOL Brewing happy hour. Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Next stop: SC25 in St. Louis. Come see us there as we showcase how CIQ is powering enterprise infrastructure for the age of AI.
