Switzerland Tightens Public-Sector Use of US and Global Cloud - 📅 - Switzerland is drawing a hard line on how public-sector bodies can use global cloud platforms, tightening the rules in ways that could reshape government IT strategies and create new opportunities for European and sovereign cloud providers.
In new guidance, the Conference of Swiss Data Protection Officers, known as Privatim, has effectively barred authorities from using international cloud and SaaS services such as those offered by major U.S. hyperscalers - Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft, and others - as turnkey solutions for workloads involving especially sensitive or legally confidential data. Instead, public entities will either need to return to more tightly controlled on-premises [...]

D-Wave Launches U.S. Government Unit for Quantum Adoption - 📅 - D-Wave Quantum is sharpening its focus on Washington. The quantum computing systems, software, and services provider has created a dedicated U.S. government business unit aimed at accelerating adoption of its technology across defense and federal agencies, underscoring how quickly quantum is moving from research topic to procurement category.
The new unit will be led by Jack Sears Jr., a veteran of the government and public sector technology market. Sears joins D-Wave's executive team as vice president of U.S. government solutions, with a remit that spans go-to-market, application development, product strategy, and customer support for government buyers. His mandate is to align D-Wave's [...]

The two companies have completed a proof of concept in Athens on Sparkle's metropolitan optical ring, showing that Arqit's quantum-safe encryption can be embedded directly into the optical transport layer. Rather than adding security at higher layers or through external appliances, the approach integrates encryption into the physical (L1) layer of Sparkle's network, securing multi-100G optical links without adding noticeable latency or [...]
Colt Maps 2026 CIO Priorities: AI, NaaS 2.0, Quantum Computing - 📅 - Colt Technology Services is drawing a clear picture of what it believes will dominate CIO agendas in 2026: AI that finally has to prove its value, networks redesigned for an "Inference Era," and security strategies that assume a quantum-capable adversary is coming sooner than many boards expect.
Colt's message is that CIOs are heading into another year of tension between ambition and constraint. On one side are large-scale transformation programs, many of them centered on AI and data, that boards see as essential to competitiveness. On the other are aggressive cost-reduction efforts, talent shortages, and a tightening web of regulation around AI, cybersecurity, and data. Colt argues, [...]

Vertiv and Caterpillar Partner on Power for AI Data Centers - 📅 - Vertiv and Caterpillar are joining forces to target one of the toughest constraints in today's AI data center build-out: how to deliver enough reliable power and cooling, fast, without blowing up energy costs or project timelines. The two companies have signed a strategic collaboration focused on integrated energy optimization solutions.
It brings together Vertiv's critical power and cooling portfolio with Caterpillar's and its subsidiary Solar Turbines' capabilities in on-site power generation and combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP).
The partnership is aimed squarely at hyperscale and AI-intensive facilities that are struggling with grid constraints, high-density racks, and [...]

Lemurian Labs Raises $28M to Build Hardware-Agnostic AI Stack - 📅 - Lemurian Labs is the latest startup to step into one of the toughest problems in modern AI infrastructure: how to free software from the constraints of specific hardware platforms. The company has raised a total of $28 million in an oversubscribed Series A round, including previously issued convertible securities, to pursue a software-first, hardware-agnostic approach to AI that promises to run workloads efficiently on virtually any compute substrate.
Rather than optimizing for a single class of accelerator or a specific vendor stack, Lemurian Labs is building what it describes as a unified compute fabric. In practice, that means treating edge devices, on-premises hardware, and cloud GPUs [...]
