Italy may not dominate Europe's cloud conversation in the way Germany, France, or the UK often do. Yet Milan is becoming harder to ignore.
The city sits at the center of a growing intersection between financial services, industrial technology, manufacturing, and increasingly, AI experimentation. Infrastructure vendors have noticed. So have regulators. [...]
Dell, KIOXIA Target AI Storage Bottlenecks With 9.8PB - 📅 - KIOXIA and Dell Technologies are trying to redraw the economics of AI infrastructure with a number designed to stop procurement teams mid-scroll: 9.8 petabytes of flash storage inside a single 2U server. The proposition is straightforward. Fewer boxes. Less power. Smaller footprints. The harder question is whether enterprises actually need this much density.
The system pairs Dell's PowerEdge R7725xd server with AMD EPYC processors and 40 KIOXIA LC9 NVMe SSDs, each carrying 245.76 terabytes. Put together, the companies say, the result is a storage configuration approaching 10 petabytes in a chassis small enough to disappear into conventional rack deployments.
Impressive, certainly. Also [...]

Dell Expands PowerEdge Servers for AI Data Centers - 📅 - Dell Technologies is expanding its PowerEdge server portfolio with eleven new systems aimed at enterprises struggling to scale AI infrastructure without rebuilding aging data centers, while also widening private cloud options as cooling constraints, virtualization costs, staffing shortages, and infrastructure complexity increasingly shape enterprise technology decisions.
Enterprise AI has a physical problem.
For years, infrastructure discussions drifted toward abstraction. Cloud first. Software-defined everything. Hardware became something enterprises preferred not to think about unless procurement demanded attention. AI changed the mood quickly. Suddenly, organizations are rediscovering [...]

Ahrefs Finds Google AI Overviews Reduce Clicks by 58% - 📅 - Google's AI-generated search summaries are now diverting substantially more traffic away from websites than they did less than a year ago, according to new research from marketing platform Ahrefs, intensifying concerns among publishers, retailers, and marketers already grappling with the economics of a search ecosystem increasingly designed to answer questions without referrals.
The numbers are uncomfortable.
Ahrefs says Google's AI Overviews now reduce clickthrough rates to top-ranking organic results by 58%, sharply worse than the 34.5% decline it measured roughly eight months earlier. Put differently, for every 100 clicks that previously reached the highest-ranked page, Google now [...]

Huawei Says AI Data Centers Must Be Built Around Power - 📅 - Huawei is reframing the AI data center problem around electricity rather than compute, arguing that future AI infrastructure will be constrained less by chips than by power delivery, cooling systems, and grid interaction as workloads become denser, more volatile, and increasingly difficult to sustain economically at scale.
That argument sat at the center of Huawei's latest AI data center strategy unveiled in Dongguan, where the company gathered energy providers, telecom operators, infrastructure specialists, and computing vendors around a relatively uncomfortable idea for the industry: the next bottleneck in AI may not be silicon.
It may be the grid.

Anthropic Acquires Stainless, Used Across Rival AI Labs - 📅 - Anthropic has acquired developer tooling startup Stainless, a move that quietly gives the AI company control over software infrastructure widely used by rivals including OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare, while shutting down hosted products relied upon across the increasingly competitive market for agent-based software development and integration tools.
On paper, this looks like a talent acquisition wrapped around developer infrastructure. Underneath, something more consequential may be happening.
AI companies increasingly compete less on models alone and more on ecosystems - the connective tissue between models, software, APIs, enterprise systems, and developer workflows. Agents capable of [...]

The networking conversation around AI still leans heavily toward chips. NVIDIA supply. GPU density. Power constraints.
Less attention lands on what happens between those expensive compute clusters.
Training large models and running distributed inference workloads increasingly requires moving enormous volumes of data between [...]
Aramco and Pasqal Launch Saudi Quantum Cloud Platform - 📅 - Saudi Aramco and French quantum startup Pasqal have switched on Saudi Arabia's first quantum computer and launched the Middle East's first commercial quantum computing cloud platform, signaling a regional attempt to move quantum technology beyond research labs and toward industrial experimentation with immediate operational relevance and economic ambitions.
For years, quantum computing in the Middle East largely existed as conference material. National strategies. Memorandums. Pilot research programs. Expensive curiosity wrapped in geopolitical ambition.
This feels different. Slightly.
Aramco and Pasqal have formally operationalized a neutral-atom quantum processing unit inside Aramco's [...]

Stellanor’s New MD Takes Helm After Acquisition Spree - 📅 - Stellanor Datacenters has appointed industry veteran Gary Watson as managing director after expanding from two facilities to eleven sites in the United Kingdom in less than a year, underscoring how aggressively regional colocation operators are racing to secure urban capacity as enterprise demand shifts toward AI-capable infrastructure closer to users and regulated workloads.
The management hire lands at a peculiar moment for the European data center market. Capacity remains constrained. Power remains political. Hyperscalers still dominate headlines. Yet quietly, another race is underway - one centered on regional and urban facilities serving Gary Watson joins Stellanor as MD amid rapid [...]
