Rigetti, HPE Secure $5 Million for Quantum-HPC Testbed - 📅 - A $5 million National Science Foundation grant will fund a new hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing testbed from Rigetti Computing, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, giving researchers access to a 9-qubit Novera system integrated with conventional HPC infrastructure as the industry tests whether quantum processors can deliver useful work inside real computing environments together.

Quantum computing has spent years promising disruption while struggling to prove routine commercial value. That gap has not stopped governments, universities and infrastructure vendors from investing in systems intended to answer a more immediate question: how should [...]
NVIDIA Unites Rivals Around Open AI Security Infrastructure - 📅 - The Open Secure AI Alliance was launched today with NVIDIA, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco and other major technology vendors joining forces around open-source AI security, signaling an effort to shape how enterprises protect models, agents and infrastructure before regulatory expectations, operational risks and market concentration harden into industry defaults amid accelerating enterprise AI deployments worldwide despite unresolved governance questions.

The alliance arrives as organizations move beyond experimenting with generative AI and begin treating autonomous software agents as operational systems that can access applications, infrastructure, and business data with limited human oversight. [...]
Uptime Institute Joins Iraq’s Nineveh Digital Infrastructure Plans - 📅 - Iraq has enlisted Uptime Institute to help shape digital infrastructure development in Nineveh, linking one of the country's most ambitious regional modernization efforts with global data center standards as governments increasingly treat digital capacity as economic infrastructure rather than purely an information technology investment. The agreement also reflects Washington's broader commercial engagement with Iraq through technology and infrastructure partnerships.

The memorandum of understanding, signed during Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi's visit to the United States, places Uptime Institute alongside the Governorate of Nineveh as an adviser on building resilient digital [...]
Schneider and AMD Unveil Helios AI Factory Blueprint - 📅 - Schneider Electric and AMD have unveiled a jointly validated reference design for the Helios AI platform, offering data center operators a tested framework for deploying extremely dense AI infrastructure. The release targets mounting concerns over power, cooling, integration complexity, and construction timelines as enterprise AI spending accelerates worldwide while customers seek predictable deployment models before capacity disappears.

The announcement arrives as AI infrastructure projects are becoming engineering exercises as much as technology procurements. Buying accelerators is increasingly the straightforward part. Getting enough electrical capacity, managing thermal loads, [...]
Africa’s first NVIDIA RTX PRO GPU Servers have landed - 📅 - For years, African developers, researchers, studios, and AI teams have had no choice but to rent GPU infrastructure from overseas.

This meant paying in dollars or euros, contending with high latency, and depending on support teams in entirely different time zones.

Worse, their workloads and data sit outside South Africa, creating real data-sovereignty and compliance headaches.

HOSTAFRICA is changing that with locally hosted NVIDIA RTX PRO GPU servers, available for the first time in South ...
HOSTAFRICA acquires zanode.co.za, bringing the AI deployment toolset to South African developers - 📅 - HOSTAFRICA announced the acquisition of zanode.co.za, a South African application hosting platform built around GitHub-based deployments, managed PostgreSQL, and ZAR-denominated pricing.

The acquisition extends HOSTAFRICA’s hosting offering beyond traditional shared, reseller, and VPS products into a developer-first app platform aimed at agencies, software development companies, and SaaS teams building for the South African market.

Zanode was built for teams that want a modern workflow without
HOSTAFRICA launches Africa’s first hosting MCP server: manage your VPS from Claude and ChatGPT - 📅 - Your AI assistant can now start servers, create backups, and configure firewalls — no control panel required

Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is the emerging standard that lets AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT talk directly to external services. Instead of switching between browser tabs, documentation, and support tickets, developers can manage infrastructure through natural language inside the AI tools they already use.

HOSTAFRICA is the first hosting provider on the African continent to suppo
Intel's Server Revival Faces AMD's Wider Cloud Platform Play - 📅 - Intel reported a sharp second-quarter recovery as stronger server demand and improved factory execution lifted revenue, but cloud operators and data center buyers face a more complicated choice. Intel is rebuilding around Xeon, networking, packaging, and foundry capacity just as AMD turns CPUs, accelerators, software, and rack-scale systems into a more integrated infrastructure proposition for global customers.

For hosting providers, colocation operators, and cloud platforms, Intel's 25 percent revenue increase is less important than the source of that improvement. Data Center and AI revenue rose 59 percent, while management said better yields and shorter factory cycle times supported [...]
Vultr Takes AMD Helios Rackscale and MI455X GPUs Into Cloud - 📅 - Cloud infrastructure provider Vultr will begin offering AMD's upcoming Instinct MI455X accelerators and Helios rackscale architecture later this year, joining an increasingly competitive effort to provide alternatives to Nvidia-dominated AI infrastructure as enterprise buyers seek larger memory footprints, denser compute deployments, and more predictable economics for production-scale artificial intelligence workloads across global cloud platforms.

The announcement lands as the AI infrastructure conversation shifts away from simply acquiring GPUs. Buyers are now evaluating complete systems - networking, cooling, software compatibility, memory capacity, and deployment models increasingly [...]
Core42 and e& UAE Launch Sovereign AI Infrastructure Service - 📅 - e& UAE and Core42 have unveiled a joint sovereign AI computing service aimed at giving enterprises access to domestic GPU infrastructure without building their own clusters, reflecting intensifying competition over where sensitive AI workloads run, who controls them, and which providers capture long-term enterprise spending as governments tighten digital sovereignty expectations across regulated sectors worldwide today increasingly.

The immediate product is straightforward enough: access to GPU capacity hosted inside the UAE, paired with telecommunications infrastructure, implementation services, and enterprise support under a single commercial arrangement. The larger story sits [...]
