Aug, 2026 : CodeRabbit Raises $143M to Expand AI Software Governance
📅 - CodeRabbit has raised $143 million in Series C funding at a $1.5 billion valuation as it expands from AI code review into broader software change governance. The company is launching new tools for triage, architectural impact analysis and production security, arguing that AI-generated code is shifting software oversight from planning systems toward pull requests and continuous validation.
Atomico and Smash Capital co-led the financing, joined by BMW i Ventures, Datadog, Hirtle Callaghan, SineWave Ventures and Scenic Management alongside existing backers including CRV, Scale Venture Partners, Flex Capital, Pelion Venture Partners, Harmony Partners and Engineering Capital.

📅 - Flexential Lands $800M for 130 MW U.S. Data Center Expansion - Flexential has secured an $800 million credit facility to finance more than 130 MW of new data center capacity across four U.S. markets, expanding projects in Atlanta, Portland and Denver. The debt package was oversubscribed and increased from an initial $500 million target, underscoring continued lender appetite for digital infrastructure despite sectorwide construction, power and financing pressures.
The financing gives Flexential a committed pool of capital for projects moving from planning through construction, rather than forcing the operator to arrange separate funding as each development advances. That matters in a data center market where customers increasingly expect capacity [...]
📅 - OVHcloud Raises Dedicated Server Prices as AI Drives DDR5 Costs Sixfold - OVHcloud is raising prices across parts of its dedicated server portfolio after the cost of DDR5 memory it buys increased sixfold in a year, a surge the French cloud provider attributes largely to AI demand. New orders are already affected, while existing customers on recent server generations will face higher renewal prices from October 1, 2026, too.
The increases are unusually large in places. New memory options are rising by a median 127%, while storage options increase by a median 89%. Individual RAM upgrades range from 68% to 652% higher, according to OVHcloud. Some complete server configurations are also moving sharply. Its Game Gen 2026 GAME-1 server, for example, has doubled from [...]
📅 - Equinix Signs Fourth Singapore Solar PPA With Flo Energy - Equinix has signed its fourth renewable power agreement in Singapore in two years, securing at least 11.5 MWp of rooftop solar capacity from Flo Energy with an option to expand to 50 MWp. The deal deepens Equinix's local renewable supply as Singapore's data center market confronts tight land, grid capacity, and rising electricity demand from AI infrastructure.
For Equinix, the agreement is less about one solar contract than the problem of expanding digital infrastructure in a city state where power has become a strategic constraint. The company expects its Singapore renewable energy portfolio to reach 215 MWp by 2028, with its agreements collectively generating about 250,000 MWh [...]
📅 - CBRE Reports Record AI Colocation Signings Across Europe - European data center operators signed 420 MW of AI-focused colocation capacity in the first half of 2026, up from 89 MW a year earlier, according to CBRE. Most of that demand is moving beyond the traditional FLAPD hubs, with neoclouds favoring Nordic markets where renewable power is cheaper, more abundant, and easier to secure at scale commercially.
The fourfold increase is significant not simply because AI companies want more racks. It suggests data center operators and their financiers are becoming more comfortable committing large blocks of capacity to a class of customer that, only two years ago, many landlords treated cautiously. CBRE says providers are using mechanisms including [...]
📅 - Quantum Computing Begins to Look Like Data Center Engineering - IBM has linked two modular cryogenic systems into a single ultra-cold environment, an infrastructure milestone aimed at scaling future fault-tolerant quantum computers. The significance is less about quantum software than the physical systems required to support it: refrigeration, wiring density, chip interconnects, control electronics, and a modular architecture designed to accommodate far larger quantum machines over time.
The two connected cryogenic modules are more than eight feet tall and eight feet wide. IBM says the combined system reached 4 Kelvin in less than five days before cooling below 15 millikelvin. That is the operating territory required by superconducting quantum [...]
📅 - SAP Adds BSI-Approved Encryption for German Cloud Systems - SAP is encrypting optical links between its Walldorf and St. Leon-Rot data centers in Germany using BSI-approved Layer 1 technology from Adva Network Security. The deployment targets sovereign cloud workloads, protecting all traffic in transit while adding quantum-secure mechanisms for government, critical infrastructure, and regulated customers that require strict national control over sensitive data inside German borders.
The immediate issue is not raw bandwidth. It is control.
For cloud providers selling into government and heavily regulated sectors, keeping data inside national boundaries only solves part of the sovereignty problem. Data still has to move between facilities for [...]
