The immediate consequence is less glamorous than the AI language surrounding the launch, but probably more important. Brazilian organizations can now place compute, storage, networking, security, databases, containers, big data and cloud native workloads in an Alibaba Cloud region inside the country. That can [...]
Telxius Expands Mexico Data Center Footprint With Subsea Hub - 📅 - Telxius has opened a carrier-neutral landing gateway and edge data center in Cancún, tying new local compute capacity directly to the Tikal subsea cable and its wider backbone. The facility gives carriers, cloud providers, content platforms and AI operators another route between Mexico, the Caribbean, the United States and Latin America, with Tikal due in 2027 services.
The location is more important than the building itself. Cancún sits on a traffic corridor where subsea systems, regional terrestrial networks and growing cloud demand increasingly intersect. By combining cable landing infrastructure with an edge facility, Telxius is trying to capture more of the traffic flow rather than [...]

The service, called Equinix Inference Exchange, combines NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures with Together AI software supporting more than 200 open models, while Equinix provides the physical infrastructure, cooling, operations, and network fabric. The architecture can [...]
The change matters because storage has remained one of the more awkward parts of large VMware migrations. Compute can be rehosted relatively quickly. Networking can be mapped and rebuilt. Storage often drags a separate toolchain, replication process, testing cycle, and cutover plan behind [...]
Empirik.ai Emerges From Stealth With $21M for Infrastructure Change AI Agent - 📅 - Empirik.ai has emerged from stealth with $21 million in funding to automate infrastructure change, targeting the widening gap between AI accelerated software development and still largely manual operations. Its system models live environments, evaluates the impact of proposed changes before execution, and can block risky actions across cloud, on premises, Kubernetes, virtual machines, identity, pipelines, and enterprise SaaS infrastructure.
The premise is easy enough to understand. Coding agents can now generate and modify software faster than most infrastructure teams can review tickets, inspect dependencies, run change boards, and approve deployment steps. Empirik.ai wants to insert an [...]

AI Clusters Shift Network Spending Toward Back-End Fabrics - 📅 - AI infrastructure spending crossed a notable line in the second quarter of 2026: revenue from switches connecting accelerators inside AI back-end networks exceeded sales of front-end data center switches for the first time. The shift puts high-speed fabric economics, supply availability, and vendor positioning closer to the center of infrastructure purchasing decisions across hyperscale and enterprise deployments.
Dell'Oro Group says the crossover happened only three years after AI back-end networking emerged as a distinct spending category. That speed is more important than the symbolic ranking. Front-end networks serve conventional server, storage, user, and application traffic across [...]

Flex Pays $4.4B for EPC Power as AI Data Centers Go 800V - 📅 - Flex is paying $4.4 billion for EPC Power, targeting a part of AI infrastructure that is becoming harder to treat as secondary: power conversion. The deal gives Flex technology for 800V data center architectures, grid stabilization and higher-density computing, while strengthening the Cloud and Power Infrastructure business it plans to spin off next year as a company.
The valuation is notable. EPC Power is expected to generate about $800 million in 2026 revenue, meaning Flex is paying roughly 5.5 times current-year sales for a supplier whose technology sits between utility power and increasingly dense compute infrastructure. Flex expects EPC Power's organic revenue to grow around 40% in [...]

For data center operators, the useful part is not the satellite novelty by itself. Sparkle and Hellas Sat had already validated quantum safe protection between two data centers in Greece. Extending the same security model over a live geostationary satellite path means the architecture is now being tested [...]
Quantum Motion Expands $160M Round for Rack-Scale Data Center Quantum Systems - 📅 - Quantum Motion has added investors to its $160 million Series C as it scales silicon spin quantum hardware designed for standard data center racks. The company says its CMOS-based architecture could cut machine cost and space requirements by 100 times and energy use by 1,000 times compared with alternative quantum systems, if those advantages survive commercial scaling.
The second close adds imec.ventures, Lansdowne Partners, Sony Innovation Fund, S3 Ventures, and Inkef to the round led by DCVC and Kembara. Quantum Motion did not disclose the amount added in the second close. The capital is earmarked for custom silicon development, semiconductor manufacturing scale-up, and international [...]

Cloud Security Firm Upwind Raises $300M, Hits $3.8B Valuation - 📅 - Upwind Security has raised $300 million at a $3.8 billion valuation, more than doubling its price in eight months as investors race to back independent cloud security vendors after a wave of consolidation. The San Francisco company has now raised more than $680 million, while annual recurring revenue is expected to reach $50 million to $60 million.
Upwind Security is a runtime-focused cloud security company. Its platform monitors cloud infrastructure continuously and is designed to help security teams identify which vulnerabilities and threats deserve attention while applications are actually running. That puts it in a part of cybersecurity increasingly shaped by sprawling multi-cloud [...]
