Temperature went up. Performance didn't move.

@TollyGroup’s 24-hour thermal test of @anduriltech’s Voyager VM 4.0:
• 0.22% CPU variation
• ~1% CPU + memory variation
• ~3% storage variation

GTM effectiveness is only as good as the platform behind it.

We tested @useapolloio with a live campaign to find out.

2.37% cold-to-meeting conversion. Benchmark: 0.5–1.5%.

How much of a 400GbE fabric do your GPUs actually get?
✅ 392.18 Gbps RDMA (98%)
✅ 389.84 Gbps NCCL, 32 GPUs (97.5%)

@DellNetworking SONiC, no measurable overhead.

Cloud-native or VNF for DNS and CGNAT?

Kevin Tolly and @F5's Rich Lopez share our results on demand: higher DNS throughput, lower latency, better efficiency.

The best stress test result is a flat line.

@anduriltech’s Voyager VM 4.0 held CPU variation to 0.22% over a 24-hour thermal test.

Predictable under heat. https://t.co/NaGCyJIdXR
