AI Security Spending to Grow 69% to $4.8B in 2027, Says Gartner - 📅 - Gartner expects spending on products designed specifically to secure artificial intelligence systems to reach $4.8 billion in 2027, up 68.7% from 2026. The forecast reflects a fast-forming security category around AI applications, usage controls, governance platforms and gateways, as enterprises confront prompt injection, access weaknesses, supply chain exposure and increasingly autonomous software inside production environments at scale.
The number itself is striking, but the more useful signal is how quickly AI security is becoming a budget category separate from conventional cybersecurity. Gartner estimates spending at $2.835 billion in 2026, representing 83% growth, before another [...]

The award is one quarter of 200 MW granted by Singapore to four incumbent operators after a competitive process that drew more than 20 proposals. Equinix, Keppel Data Centres and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres received the other 50 MW allocations. For buyers, the immediate takeaway is not simply [...]
US Widens Lead in Global Hyperscale Data Center Capacity - 📅 - Hyperscale computing is becoming more geographically concentrated, even as AI infrastructure demand spreads globally. New Synergy Research Group data shows 20 state or metro markets now host 60% of worldwide hyperscale capacity, with Northern Virginia and Greater Beijing alone holding 17%, underscoring how power, permitting, cloud economics and operator concentration are reshaping where large scale computing gets built.
For infrastructure buyers, the concentration is difficult to dismiss as a simple map of existing cloud demand. It is increasingly a map of where power can still be secured, projects can still be permitted, and operators can build at a scale that works economically. The [...]

AI Data Center Growth Is Driving Up Skilled Labor Costs Fast - 📅 - U.S. data center operators are paying more and waiting longer for the engineers, technicians, and commissioning specialists needed to bring AI infrastructure online, according to new 2026 compensation data published by Kelly Services. Hiring pressure is now spreading from established hubs into emerging markets, turning workforce availability into a project risk alongside power, equipment lead times, permitting, and construction capacity nationally.
The immediate problem is concentrated in jobs that sit close to energization and go-live, according to the recruitment company's report titled Data Center Salary Guide 2026. Medium-voltage electrical specialists, commissioning engineers, [...]

Emerald AI Lands $150M to Scale Grid-Flexible Data Centers - 📅 - Emerald AI has raised $150 million at a $1.05 billion valuation as it moves from grid-flexibility demonstrations into commercial data center deployments. The company says its software can reduce or reshape multi-megawatt power demand without disrupting critical AI workloads, a claim aimed squarely at the emerging collision between AI infrastructure growth and constrained electricity grids across markets.
The financing is an unusually large Series A, co-led by Energize Capital and DCVC, with participation from a long list of strategic investors spanning technology, utilities, industrials, energy companies, and venture funds. Twelve Fortune Global 500 companies are now investors, according [...]

For Eurofiber, that means more than refinancing existing obligations. It creates a larger pool of committed capital that can be drawn as new routes, additional network capacity, cloud infrastructure, or other projects move from planning into execution. In an [...]
NVIDIA Backs Cloverleaf to Build U.S. AI Data Center Capacity - 📅 - NVIDIA has taken a minority stake in Cloverleaf Infrastructure, tying itself more closely to the land, power and utility work behind US AI data centers. The partnership gives Cloverleaf access to NVIDIA's infrastructure tools and engineering expertise as demand for accelerated computing collides with grid constraints, permitting delays and a shortage of sites ready for scale deployment.
The investment amount was not disclosed. More important for infrastructure operators is where NVIDIA is inserting itself. Cloverleaf is not a chip company or conventional data center operator. It develops powered sites, working with utilities, investors and technology companies to prepare land for large [...]
