Amazon's Texas AI Campus Brings Its Own 7.65GW Power Plant
📅 - Amazon is preparing a 7.65 gigawatt gas powered data center campus in Pecos County, Texas, pairing AI infrastructure with 35 turbines and initially operating outside the state power grid. The GW Ranch project could become the largest US natural gas power plant, while its permitted emissions expose a widening conflict between hyperscaler expansion and corporate climate commitments.
The scale deserves some context. A 7.65 GW generation complex is power station territory, not conventional backup generation for a server farm. Amazon, already one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure operators through AWS, would effectively combine computing infrastructure and industrial scale [...][...

📅 - NetApp Acquires JetStream to Expand VMware Cloud Data Protection - NetApp has acquired JetStream Software, adding VMware disaster recovery and migration technology that extends its data protection reach beyond customers already using NetApp storage. The deal gives NetApp a route into the much larger VMware installed base, while positioning cloud disaster recovery as an intermediate step for enterprises unwilling or unable to move production workloads immediately yet.
The acquisition addresses a fairly specific problem created by enterprise infrastructure reality. VMware remains embedded underneath critical applications at many large organizations, while cloud strategies rarely translate into clean, immediate migrations. Applications have dependencies. [...]
📅 - Bridge Data Centres Targets AI Power Bottlenecks With PowerCore 5.0 - Bridge Data Centres and Morong Electric have launched PowerCore 5.0, a prefabricated power module for high-density AI data centers that the companies say can cut infrastructure delivery times by more than half. Built on a 40-foot container frame, the system packages electrical, cooling, fire suppression and monitoring equipment for factory assembly, testing and deployment across international sites.
The product addresses an increasingly awkward constraint in AI infrastructure: GPUs can arrive faster than the electrical systems needed to operate them. Bridge Data Centres, or BDC, says rack densities have moved from roughly 10kW to beyond 100kW as accelerated computing has expanded. That [...]
📅 - Data Center Alley: Why Ashburn, VA is the Premier Choice for Dedicated Servers - For global enterprises, cloud providers, gaming networks, and IT professionals aiming to establish a dominant digital footprint in North America, choosing the optimal geographical deployment zone is the single most critical infrastructure decision you can make. While hosting in secondary regional hubs may work for small workloads, doing so introduces unnecessary routing hops for cross-country and transatlantic traffic. At iDatam, we provide the ultimate strategic solution: premium bare metal dedicated servers located in the absolute epicenter of world connectivity—Ashburn, Virginia.
Ashburn, located in Loudoun County, is universally acknowledged as "Data Center Alley." Over 70% of the world
📅 - Corma Raises $60M to Counter the Rise of AI Cyberattacks - Cybersecurity startup Corma has raised $60 million in seed financing led by Sequoia Capital, with Khosla Ventures and Coatue joining, as the company develops a foundation model dedicated to enterprise defense. The unusually large early round arrives alongside Corma's claim that general-purpose AI systems are becoming far better attackers than defenders inside complex corporate networks already today.
That imbalance, if it holds outside controlled testing, creates an awkward problem for security chiefs already spending heavily on detection platforms, endpoint tools, identity systems and security operations staff. More AI does not necessarily produce more defense. It may simply increase the [...]
📅 - Broadcom Adds AI Security Tools Across VMware Private Cloud - Broadcom is expanding VMware vDefend and Avi Load Balancer with on-premises malware analysis, air-gapped support, API protection and AI-assisted operations, targeting enterprises consolidating defenses around VMware Cloud Foundation. The releases also raise firewall, intrusion prevention and application delivery performance while reducing hardware requirements, as private cloud operators face rising security, infrastructure and staffing costs across large estates.
The changes put more security functions directly into VMware's private cloud stack at a point when infrastructure teams are being asked to run denser workloads without expanding headcount or hardware spending at the same rate. [...]
📅 - Hivelocity Adds App Store to Simplify Bare-Metal Deployments - Hivelocity has launched an App Store inside its myVelocity portal, letting bare-metal customers deploy more than 30 applications during server purchase or reload without manually installing software. The provider says most deployments finish within 10 to 15 minutes, with selected applications receiving predefined security rules and hardening, as infrastructure vendors compete to remove setup work for customers.
The feature is aimed at a stubborn part of infrastructure operations that rarely receives much attention until somebody has to do it repeatedly: turning a newly provisioned server into something actually usable. Installing packages, checking dependencies, applying baseline security [...]
