Diversifying the choice of client devices and platforms by leveraging the capabilities of the client, cloud, and network ecosystems.

TIFCA Announces the Triparity Initiative

By Neil SchneiderTIFCA News

It’s expected that the future of remote work and play is going to need increasing amounts of compute and network bandwidth. TIFCA believes there are opportunities for the CORA (Create Once Reach All) ecosystem to enhance the cost effectiveness, user experience, and scalability of this future.

TIFCA is working on a solution called The Triparity Initiative: a framework that could help optimize our industry’s computing resources through the combined powers of client, cloud, and network. At the International Future Computing Summit, Thorsten Stremlau, Systems Principal Architect and Distinguished Engineer, CISSP at Nvidia, gave a high level view of how Triparity could work and welcomes more industry to join TIFCA.
