Accelsius Gains Multi-Million Investment for Data Center Liquid Cooling - 📅 - Accelsius, a specialist in advanced liquid cooling for data centers, has secured a multi-million-dollar strategic investment from Johnson Controls, a global leader in smart and sustainable building technologies. The funding marks a significant push to accelerate the adoption of next-generation cooling systems designed to handle the soaring power demands of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

Accelsius' core innovation lies in its two-phase, direct-to-chip (D2C) liquid cooling technology. Unlike conventional air-based or single-phase liquid systems, two-phase cooling harnesses the physical process of phase change - from liquid to vapor - to dissipate heat directly at the [...]
AMD, OpenAI Forge $10B+ Deal to Power Next-Gen AI Infrastructure - 📅 - AMD and OpenAI have entered into a landmark multi-year, multi-generational partnership to deliver up to 6 gigawatts of AI computing power built on AMD's high-performance GPU technology. The agreement cements AMD as a key strategic compute provider for OpenAI, fueling the next wave of generative AI infrastructure and deepening the companies' collaboration on advanced hardware and software development.

Under the terms of the deal, OpenAI will deploy AMD Instinct GPUs across several generations, beginning with a 1-gigawatt rollout of the upcoming AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs in the second half of 2026. Future expansions will continue as OpenAI scales its data center capacity to meet growing [...]
Infleqtion Targets 1,000 Logical Qubits with New Neutral-Atom Design - 📅 - Infleqtion, a global leader in neutral atom–based quantum technology, has unveiled details of its next-generation quantum computing architecture, a design it says will dramatically accelerate progress toward fault-tolerant quantum systems. The company projects that by 2030 it will deliver a full-stack quantum computer capable of operating more than 1,000 logical qubits - a milestone that, if achieved, would mark a critical step toward practical quantum advantage.

Infleqtion CEO Matt Kinsella described the announcement as both a technological and strategic inflection point for the firm. "We're accelerating innovation and execution toward fault-tolerant quantum computing with our new [...]
Melbicom’s Tokyo Launch Cuts Latency by 71% for Asia-Pacific Users - 📅 - Melbicom, the EU-headquartered Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider, announces the opening of its Tokyo data center, delivering ultra-low latency, high-bandwidth infrastructure, and localized hosting for enterprises expanding in Northeast Asia.

Global Network, Local Advantage

Directly connected to Japan’s leading Internet Exchanges — BBIX, JPIX, and JPNA — the Tokyo facility offers short, resilient routes to users across APAC, reducing latency by an average of 71%. Redundant network path
Jeff Bezos Envisions Gigawatt-Scale Space Data Centers Within 20 Years - 📅 - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos believes that within the next two decades, gigawatt-scale data centers will be built in space - and that they will eventually outperform those on Earth, Reuters reported. Speaking at Italian Tech Week in Turin, Bezos said that space-based facilities could take advantage of continuous solar energy, offering a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative to the increasingly power-hungry data centers driving the global AI boom.

"In space, there are no clouds, no rain, no weather," said Jeff Bezos during a public discussion with John Elkann, chairman of Ferrari and Stellantis. "Because we have solar power there all the time, it will be preferable to build these [...]
Fujitsu, NVIDIA Deepen Partnership on AI Agents and Custom AI - 📅 - Fujitsu has deepened its collaboration with NVIDIA in a strategic move to accelerate the industrial adoption of artificial intelligence by developing a full-stack AI infrastructure that integrates AI agents. Announced in Tokyo, the expanded partnership marks a significant step in combining Fujitsu's computing expertise with NVIDIA's leadership in GPUs and AI platforms to create a new generation of intelligent, adaptive systems for enterprise and industrial use.

The collaboration aims to deliver a comprehensive AI agent platform and computing infrastructure tailored to custom, industry-specific applications in robotics, manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond. The companies will co-develop [...]
BlackRock’s GIP Eyes $40B Aligned Data Centers Deal Amid AI Boom - 📅 - BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Aligned Data Centers, a Texas-based operator owned by Macquarie Asset Management, in a deal that could value the company at nearly $40 billion, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions. The transaction, which could be finalized as early as next week, underscores how the AI boom is reshaping global investment in data center infrastructure.

If completed, the acquisition would mark one of the largest data center deals to date, highlighting the increasing convergence between digital infrastructure and traditional energy investment. GIP - now part of BlackRock following a $12.5 billion [...]
Tecogen Launches Hybrid Chiller to Boost Data Center AI Capacity - 📅 - Tecogen has launched its TECOCHILL Hybrid-Drive Chiller into the data center market, positioning the system as a potential breakthrough for facilities struggling with soaring AI power demands. The system, capable of running on electricity, natural gas, or both, promises to free up valuable grid capacity by shifting cooling loads away from electricity during peak demand - a move that could give operators back as much as 30% of their available power for IT workloads.

The announcement comes at a critical time for the industry. Cooling has long been one of the largest drains on resources, often consuming nearly a third of a data center's total power. With new AI chips such as NVIDIA's [...]
Google Taps Atlantic Quantum to Speed Error-Corrected Computing - 📅 - Google Quantum AI has brought MIT spinout Atlantic Quantum into its fold in what industry observers widely interpret as an acquisition, though Google's official announcement refrained from using the term. The move underscores the growing urgency in quantum computing to solve the scalability problem that has long stood between laboratory prototypes and practical, error-corrected quantum systems.

Atlantic Quantum, founded in 2021 by a group of MIT researchers, focused on developing superconducting qubits and pioneering a modular chip stack architecture. Its breakthrough lies in integrating qubits with superconducting control electronics within the same cold stage, a design that reduces [...]
ChillMine, AAAS Energy to Build Solar-Powered Data Center Botswana - 📅 - ChillMine Corporation, a U.S.-based data center operator, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Netherlands-based AAAS Energy to jointly develop a large-scale data center campus in Botswana. The collaboration is aimed at building a next-generation facility capable of supporting AI computing, hyperscale cloud providers, and other energy-intensive computing workloads.

The planned development comes at a time when demand for reliable and scalable digital infrastructure in Southern Africa is accelerating. For global cloud and AI providers, access to stable, affordable energy sources is a central consideration, and the Botswana project is being designed with that requirement at [...]
