Data Center Boom Forces Insurers to Rethink Infrastructure Risk
📅 - Artificial intelligence is turning data centers into one of the world's largest infrastructure investment classes, while insurers are discovering that the risk no longer resembles ordinary commercial property. Annual spending could exceed $1 trillion by 2027, as bigger campuses, denser computing equipment and concentrated dependencies raise potential losses from fire, weather, power failures and prolonged outages for customers.
The numbers are becoming difficult for insurers, lenders and infrastructure investors to treat as another real estate cycle. Data center investment is projected to rise from roughly $500 billion in 2024 to more than $1 trillion as early as 2027. The United States [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Namecheap, Hosting.com Hit by Phoenix Data Center Outage - A prolonged cooling failure at RadiusDC's Phoenix data center has knocked services offline for multiple hosting providers, including Namecheap and Hosting.com, exposing how a single facility problem can cascade across websites, email, DNS management and customer support. Recovery efforts were still underway Thursday, with temperatures falling only after chillers and temporary cooling equipment were brought back online.
The August 13 incident originated at the Phoenix facility where phoenixNAP operates as a tenant. PhoenixNAP's status system said elevated temperatures followed multiple utility disturbances linked to overnight storms. RadiusDC, identified by phoenixNAP as the facility [...]
📅 - Nebius Takes Vantage Colocation Capacity for UK AI Infrastructure Build - Vantage Data Centers and Nebius have agreed to deploy high-density NVIDIA-based AI infrastructure at Vantage's CWL1 campus in Newport, creating the first announced commercial capacity commitment in South Wales' AI Growth Zone. The deal gives Nebius another UK foothold while tying government ambitions for domestic compute more directly to available power, cooling, connectivity and data center capacity.
Nebius will lease capacity rather than build the Newport facility itself, using CWL1 for AI training, inference, agentic applications and enterprise workloads. The customers being targeted range from startups and researchers to enterprises and public-sector organizations. Neither company [...]
📅 - Modern Firewall Architecture Moves Beyond the Network Edge - A firewall used to have an obvious address in the network: somewhere between the company and the Internet. That model is increasingly inadequate for hosting providers, cloud operators and enterprises running distributed infrastructure. Traffic now moves between applications, racks, data centers, clouds and management systems, making firewall placement, policy ownership and internal segmentation as important as whatever happens at the external perimeter.
The basic function has not changed much. A firewall observes network traffic and decides whether to permit or block it according to policy. What has changed is the network around it.
A server may accept connections from customers, [...]

📅 - Setup NVMe-oF (TCP) on Dedicated Servers for AI - As artificial intelligence models grow exponentially in size, the infrastructure supporting them must evolve. For IT teams and data scientists, one of the most frustrating bottlenecks is GPU starvation—when your highly expensive GPUs sit idle, waiting for sluggish storage drives to feed them data. To maximize the return on your hardware investment, you need near-zero latency storage that can keep pace with modern compute power.
iDatam’s latest technical tutorial provides a comprehensive solution: configuring NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) using TCP on bare-metal Ubuntu dedicated servers.
Why NVMe-oF (TCP) is Essential for Heavy AI Workloads:
Eliminate GPU Starvation: By utilizing NVMe-oF, yo
