Amazon's Texas AI Campus Brings Its Own 7.65GW Power Plant - 📅 - Amazon is preparing a 7.65 gigawatt gas powered data center campus in Pecos County, Texas, pairing AI infrastructure with 35 turbines and initially operating outside the state power grid. The GW Ranch project could become the largest US natural gas power plant, while its permitted emissions expose a widening conflict between hyperscaler expansion and corporate climate commitments.
The scale deserves some context. A 7.65 GW generation complex is power station territory, not conventional backup generation for a server farm. Amazon, already one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure operators through AWS, would effectively combine computing infrastructure and industrial scale [...]

NetApp Acquires JetStream to Expand VMware Cloud Data Protection - 📅 - NetApp has acquired JetStream Software, adding VMware disaster recovery and migration technology that extends its data protection reach beyond customers already using NetApp storage. The deal gives NetApp a route into the much larger VMware installed base, while positioning cloud disaster recovery as an intermediate step for enterprises unwilling or unable to move production workloads immediately yet.
The acquisition addresses a fairly specific problem created by enterprise infrastructure reality. VMware remains embedded underneath critical applications at many large organizations, while cloud strategies rarely translate into clean, immediate migrations. Applications have dependencies. [...]

Bridge Data Centres Targets AI Power Bottlenecks With PowerCore 5.0 - 📅 - Bridge Data Centres and Morong Electric have launched PowerCore 5.0, a prefabricated power module for high-density AI data centers that the companies say can cut infrastructure delivery times by more than half. Built on a 40-foot container frame, the system packages electrical, cooling, fire suppression and monitoring equipment for factory assembly, testing and deployment across international sites.
The product addresses an increasingly awkward constraint in AI infrastructure: GPUs can arrive faster than the electrical systems needed to operate them. Bridge Data Centres, or BDC, says rack densities have moved from roughly 10kW to beyond 100kW as accelerated computing has expanded. That [...]

The distinction DartPoints wants residents and local officials to make is largely one of scale. The company operates regional facilities serving businesses, hospitals, schools, banks, manufacturers, universities and government agencies across the Midwest and Southeast. Its Lexington plan, it says, [...]
The change is less about exposing another developer interface than reducing the amount of networking work still handled through portals, email and manual service desks. GTT is targeting two areas where friction is expensive: incident handling and [...]
Macquarie Acquires 8,950 Towers Across Brazil and Colombia - 📅 - Macquarie Asset Management has completed its acquisition of IHS Towers' South American tower operations, taking control of more than 8,700 sites in Brazil and 250 in Colombia. The deal gives the infrastructure investor a larger position in Latin American telecom assets as operators face sustained data growth, network upgrades and continuing pressure to fund coverage expansion.
The transaction moves a sizable chunk of Brazilian wireless infrastructure from a listed tower operator into a privately managed infrastructure fund. Financial terms were not provided in the material released by Macquarie, leaving investors without an immediate measure of valuation, leverage or expected [...]

Cato Networks Adds Agentic Defense to Mitigate AI-Assisted Attacks - 📅 - Cato Networks has launched Agentic Threat Prevention, software designed to predict how AI assisted attackers could move through customer environments and automatically deploy tailored defenses before those attacks progress. The capability combines network, security and threat intelligence data inside Cato's cloud platform, extending the industry's accelerating effort to match machine speed attacks with increasingly autonomous defensive systems.
For enterprise security teams, the significant change is not another AI layer analyzing alerts. Cato wants software agents making decisions about probable attacker behavior and translating those predictions into protections specific to a customer's [...]

QumulusAI Explores New Economics for AI Infrastructure Capacity - 📅 - QumulusAI is testing an unusual commercial model for AI infrastructure, combining conventional GPU rental fees with a share of customer trading profits under an agreement supporting an autonomous hedge fund. The arrangement introduces performance-linked economics into cloud infrastructure while avoiding direct exposure to investment losses, potentially creating a different revenue profile for idle AI compute capacity.
The agreement pairs QumulusAI's Blackwell-based AI infrastructure with a customer operating what the company describes as a fully agentic hedge fund. Instead of relying solely on human portfolio managers, the fund uses specialized AI agents to continuously discover, [...]
