MacWeb Opens US East Cloud Region in NY-Metro Data Center - 📅 - MacWeb has expanded its Mac-based cloud infrastructure footprint in the United States with the launch of a new US East region in the New York metropolitan area, adding high-density Apple silicon clusters to a Class A data center in Secaucus, New Jersey. The move gives the company a strategic East Coast presence to complement its existing Silicon Valley region.

This move would offer customers low-latency access to large-scale Mac mini and Mac Studio deployments near major network exchanges and hyperscale cloud providers.

The expansion reflects growing enterprise interest in Mac-native cloud compute for iOS and macOS development pipelines, creative production workloads, and AI inference on [...]
CleanArc Breaks Ground on 900MW Hyperscale Data Center in Virginia - 📅 - CleanArc Data Centers has broken ground on a 900-megawatt hyperscale campus in Caroline County, Virginia, marking one of the largest single data center developments announced on the U.S. East Coast. The flagship VA1 campus is positioned to serve soaring demand for hyperscale compute, cloud platforms and AI infrastructure.

CleanArc plans to bring the first 300MW of grid power online in the first quarter of 2027, followed by another 300MW by 2030 and a final tranche of 300MW between 2033 and 2035. With nearly one gigawatt of planned capacity, the company is targeting major cloud and AI operators that require both large-scale density and long-term expansion paths.

State and local officials [...]
IBM and Cisco Advance Distributed Quantum Computing for 2030s Networks - 📅 - IBM and Cisco have outlined an ambitious plan to pioneer the foundations of networked distributed quantum computing, targeting early proofs of concept by the early 2030s. The collaboration brings together IBM's progress in developing large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers and Cisco's quantum networking research, with the shared goal of enabling quantum systems to operate together across networks.

If successful, the effort could form the technical basis of a future quantum computing Internet.

Under the current plan, the companies aim within five years to demonstrate a network capable of linking multiple large-scale quantum computers so they can jointly execute workloads across tens [...]
Supermicro Unveils Air-Cooled Server for Advanced AI Workloads - 📅 - Supermicro has introduced a new air-cooled 10U AI server built around AMD's Instinct MI355X GPUs, targeting organizations that want high-performance AI acceleration without transitioning to liquid-cooling infrastructure. The new Supermicro AI server, unveiled at the Supercomputing Conference in St. Louis is now shipping.

The launch would reflect intensifying competition among OEMs aiming to meet surging demand for AI-optimized hardware from cloud providers and enterprise buyers.

Supermicro says the new server delivers up to 35 times higher inferencing performance and up to four times the AI compute throughput compared with its previous generation. Key upgrades include 288 GB of HBM3e [...]
Options Technology Chooses atNorth for Private Cloud Expansion - 📅 - Capital markets infrastructure supplier Options Technology has partnered with atNorth, the Nordic high-density colocation and built-to-suit datacenter provider, to house its enlarged private AI solution at atNorth's ICE02 data center in Iceland.

The fast adoption of AI for trading techniques, risk management, and data analytics has led to a rise in the need for high-density computing capacity from financial institutions, including hedge funds, investment banks, and proprietary trading firms. This has resulted in the expansion of options infrastructure.

The company wants to fill a void in the market for private cloud infrastructure that is especially designed to meet the needs of the [...]
