Workday customers starting to run on AWS Cloud

By -
Workday said the early batch of customers running its finance and HR software on AWS represents a milestone.


Workday is beginning to scale customers who are running the company's finance and human resources software on Amazon Web Services.
While multiple software providers such as Infor, Salesforce and SAP have customers running their products on AWS, Workday's move to the public cloud is relatively new. Workday said customers running its software on AWS "signals a milestone" and broadens the company's reach.
At Workday Rising Europe, the company highlighted Twitch and Fresche Solutions as customers running Workday applications on top of AWS.
The company added that Workday Financial Management and Human Capital Management is available to enterprises based in the U.S. and Canada. Workday will extend AWS support to Germany in the first half of 2019 and expand to other geographies.
Workday said running on AWS gives it more freedom to choose how and where they run the company's applications with more flexibility.

It finally happened. Today, all 500 of the world's top 500 supercomputers are running Linux. Linux rules supercomputing. This day has been coming since 1998, when Linux first appeared on the TOP500 Supercomputer list . Today it finally happened:  All 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers are running Linux . The last two non-Linux systems, a pair of Chinese IBM POWER computers running AIX, dropped off the  November 2017 TOP500 Supercomputer list . Overall, China now leads the supercomputing race with 202 computers to the US' 144. China also leads the US in aggregate performance. China's supercomputers represent 35.4 percent of the Top500's flops, while the US trails with 29.6 percent. With an anti-science regime in charge of the government, America will only continue to see its technological lead decline. When the  first Top500 supercomputer list was compiled in June 1993 , Linux was barely more than a toy. It hadn't even adopted Tux as its masc

That slide attempts to do what  Microsoft initially attempted with a 60-plus-page whitepaper : Clarify which collaboration tools customers should use when. The slide, which features SharePoint -- and its files, sites and content storage at the center -- is broken down into t
