Engineers are giving way to domain experts, as the role of IT in the workplace evolves faster than ever before. This week, Technology Now is joined by Bob Friday, Chief AI Officer HPE Networking to discuss:
 
• What AI looks like in 2026, traditional models, agentic AI, and more
• The surpri...

Sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t having enough data, it’s knowing what to do with it.
 
As agentic AI moves to real-world deployment, our cities and towns are becoming smarter. The mountain town of Vail, Colorado is just one such example of where artificial intelligence is helping streamline services, improve decision making and enhance experiences for residents and visitors alike. This week, Technology...

Zero Trust has transitioned from buzzword to basic necessity. As AI has transformed the cybersecurity landscape, becoming a tool for both attack and defence, organisations are being forced to rethink how thy protect themselves, their users, and their networks. Technology Now welcomes back friend of the show Jaye Tillson, CTO Security and HPE Distinguished Technologist to discuss:

• The impact of AI on cyber threats as well as cybers...

AI is making our technology smarter… but it’s also making it much, much hotter.

With higher demand for HPC and enterprise AI, data centres are having to adapt to meet the changing demands on the modern world. This week, Technology Now is joined by Jason Zeiler Principal Product Manager for Next Generation Infrastructure and HPC/AI Liquid Cooling at HPE to find out:

• The efficiency benefits of liquid cooling compared to...

Recorded in front of a live studio audience at HPE Discover 2026, Michael Bird talks to EVP, President and General Manager of HPE Networking, Rami Rahim, about the future of our network infrastructure. Key takeaways include:

• What self-driving networks really are, why they are important and how driving business impact
• How trust can be a barrier to the adoption of self-driving networks, and how this can be overcome
• Top ways AI in ou...

What’s changing in enterprise tech - and what should leaders be preparing for next?

Recorded live at HPE Discover 2026, Michael Bird takes HPE CEO Antonio Neri on a gondola ride the Venetian Resort Las Vegas to explore:

Are we prepared for the deployment of a functional quantum computer? This week, Technology Now is returning to the topic of post quantum cryptography. We ask why the deadline for migrating to PQC enabled systems has been moved up, we discover what a quantum computer actually needs to be cryptographically relevant, and we pose the question: when it comes to migrating your systems to quantum resistant forms of encryption, could it al...

How is AI forcing our networks to change? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of network architecture and asking how AI is forcing us to rethink what it looks like. We ask how AI requirements are different to regular computing, we explore why this makes cacheing obsolete, and we ask how our networks are going to continue changing into the future to cope with the demands of our new AI native world. AE Natarajan, SVP, ...

How much power does the UK’s fastest supercomputer use? This week, Technology Now returns to Isambard AI, the UK’s most powerful supercomputer to find out how you run such a machine. We will explore how much energy it uses, how the system stays cool, and we ask if there are any planned future developments which could increase efficiency. Dr Emma Rose, Centre Manager for the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing, tells us mo...

Hidden in the corner of a carpark in Bristol lies Isambard AI, the UK’s fastest supercomputer. This week, Technology Now is visiting Isambard AI to find out how the system works, how it was designed and assembled in a modular way, and to discover what sort of projects it runs. Professor Simon McIntosh-Smith, Director of the Bristol Centre for Supercomputing, tells us more.
