Sep, 2026 : Keepit Hits $100M Milestone as AI Reshapes SaaS Backup
📅 - Keepit has crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue as the Danish SaaS data protection provider tries to reposition backup infrastructure for enterprise AI. The company says growth has accelerated around its AI Truth Cloud strategy, while its independent cloud architecture is increasingly aimed at buyers concerned about data integrity, sovereignty, hyperscaler dependence, recovery, and operational control.
The revenue milestone gives Keepit more room to argue that backup is moving beyond a defensive IT function. Since One Peak first invested in September 2020, Keepit says the business has expanded more than thirteenfold, equivalent to a compound annual growth rate above 55%. That [...][...

📅 - IonQ Takes Quantum Computing Into Standard Data Center Racks - IonQ is preparing to sell a 256 qubit quantum system designed to occupy a standard data center rack, a move that could shift quantum computing closer to infrastructure procurement. Superion 256 is slated for delivery in 2027, with semiconductor based qubit control, lower claimed power requirements, and a manufacturing model intended to support production at commercial scale.
For data center operators, the rack claim is probably more consequential than the headline qubit count. Quantum machines have usually demanded specialized environments, specialist installation work, and operational assumptions far removed from mainstream compute infrastructure. IonQ says Superion 256 avoids bespoke [...]
📅 - Eliminate CPU Jitter: Lock C-States on Dedicated Servers - In high-concurrency and latency-sensitive environments, microsecond delays can severely impact performance. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) platforms, real-time VoIP systems, and competitive multiplayer game servers demand absolute, predictable compute response times. Out of the box, standard Linux operating systems utilize power-saving governors that dynamically scale CPU frequencies and place idle cores into power-saving sleep states known as C-states.
Understanding C-States and Exit Latency When a CPU core enters a deep sleep state (such as C3 or C6), it flushes its cache and powers down to conserve energy. However, returning from C6 back to C0 (the active state) incurs a wake-up latency pe
📅 - VPS Management Gets Harder as Workloads and Server Counts Grow - A Virtual Private Server can look deceptively simple: choose a plan, install an operating system, deploy an application, and start serving traffic. In practice, the operational burden begins after provisioning. A VPS gives customers more control and stronger resource isolation than shared hosting, but that control also transfers responsibility for security, patching, monitoring, backup, capacity planning, and recovery.
For infrastructure teams, the important question is not whether a VPS is flexible. It is whether the organization can operate that flexibility reliably as workloads change.
That distinction matters because VPS hosting occupies an awkward but useful middle ground. Shared [...]
📅 - NetIX Extends Global Peering Access Across More Than 60 IXPs - NetIX has expanded its Global Internet Exchange service to more than 60 Internet exchanges, adding Singapore Internet Exchange and widening access through a single connection. The move gives networks another way to extend peering reach without managing separate memberships, cross connects, and deployments at every exchange, although consolidation also concentrates more operational dependence on one intermediary provider.
For network operators, the useful part is not the number 60 by itself. It is the reduction in physical and commercial overhead required to reach those exchanges. NetIX says customers can enter the service from more than 220 locations and use one port, one cross connect, [...]
📅 - Swiss Quantum Hub Targets Industry With IBM Quantum System Two - IBM, Lockheed Martin and ETH Zurich are establishing a Swiss quantum innovation hub that will give researchers and industry access to an IBM Quantum System Two in Lugano. The machine, due by the end of 2026, will be Switzerland's first dedicated IBM quantum computer and is intended to support research, training and early industrial experimentation on site.
The installation will sit at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, putting dedicated quantum hardware alongside one of Europe's better known high performance computing environments. IBM will operate the system, while ETH Zurich will provide access, expertise, technical resources and links into Swiss academia and industry. [...]
📅 - AI Coding Firm Cognition Raises $2B at $48B Valuation - Cognition has raised more than $2 billion at a $48 billion valuation, nearly doubling its valuation since May as investors crowd into autonomous software development. The AI coding company says run rate revenue has climbed from $492 million to almost $900 million over the same period, while enterprise adoption of its Devin coding agent is expanding across several customers.
The financing is striking because of the speed, not just the size. Cognition was valued at $26 billion after raising more than $1 billion in May. A few months later, Andreessen Horowitz and Accel have led another round at almost twice that valuation, joined by existing investors including Founders Fund, General [...]
