Tabor Communications Names HPC Industry Veteran Doug Black as Managing Editor for EnterpriseTech

November 2, 2015

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Nov. 2 — Tabor Communications Inc. (TCI), a leading international media and services company, and publishers of industry leading online advanced scale computing publications including HPCwire, EnterpriseTech, and Datanami, today announced the appointment of Doug Black as Managing Editor for EnterpriseTech.

Black has been involved in the high performance computing (HPC) industry for nearly 25 years, serving as a writer and marketer for such industry leaders as Intel, SGI and Motorola. In addition, he has written for nearly all of the industry-leading advanced computing publications including HPCwire, where he focused on the implications and benefits of high performance computing for business and society.

As Managing Editor of EnterpriseTech, Black will focus on advanced scale computing for the enterprise, where organizations are creating solutions through time-sensitive complex analytics using big data, cloud and HPC. In addition to covering the proliferation of HPC technology into businesses from Fortune 500s to small- and medium-sized enterprises across all disciplines, Black will also cover the modeling and simulation advancements for such industries as manufacturing, oil & gas, life sciences, financial services and more, where such solutions drive bottom line results.

“We’re at a pivotal moment in the assimilation of high performance computing technology into businesses,” said Black. “HPC has long been a staple of academia and research, but now, with the explosion of big data, the need for time-sensitive, complex analytics is becoming a reality for organizations looking to take advantage of the huge amounts of data that they are collecting. With time to results becoming increasingly important, next-generation architectures require greater compute, which presents scaling challenges that most businesses have never faced. My coverage will focus on the challenges that are happening at this level: where high performance computing is being employed to achieve substantive results for the enterprise. I’m incredibly honored to be a part of EnterpriseTech, and the vision that Tabor Communications has for building a link between traditional enterprise IT and the world of high performance computing.”

“We are delighted to bring Doug onboard as the Managing Editor of EnterpriseTech,” said Isaac Lopez, Associate Vice President of Audience and Content for Tabor Communications. “Doug’s field experience with companies that are engaged in spreading HPC technology outside its traditional sphere is a real benefit – he understands the challenges that exist in the market and will work to create cross-departmental dialogue in the enterprise to help the influencers in these organizations move the needle.”

“With EnterpriseTech, we are reaching the enterprises that are entering the advanced scale computing era with needs for timely, complex analytics. Of course, where time demands are essential, more compute is the answer, presenting a whole new world of IT challenges for these leaders,” said Lopez. “The challenges that these organizations face are significant, but there is a silver lining: many of the time-critical big data problems that enterprises face today have already been dealt with by the traditional academic, scientific and government communities. Our organization has been dedicated to these challenges for almost 30 years, and will continue to work to grow the ecosystem that is tackling these challenges.”
