📅 - A 45% year-over-year surge will push the global server market to a projected value of $366 billion in 2025, according to new data from IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker. The first quarter of 2025 already marked a record-setting $95.2 billion in market value - an unprecedented 134.1% increase over Q1 2024 - underscoring the growing centrality of compute power in today's AI-accelerating economy.
The forecasted boom is driven by exponential demand from hyperscalers and cloud service providers, particularly in response to advances in generative and agentic artificial intelligence. IDC reports that x86-based servers will make up $283.9 billion of the total, reflecting a 39.9% [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
Cyberattacks, site crashes and human error are among the top causes of small business disruptions, often resulting in extended downtime and lost revenue.
Without a backup, a broken or hacked site may remain offline for hours or days while a site owner attempts to recover it manually. This may also include requiring a rebuild depending on the severity of the issue.
For ecommerce stores or sites with frequent content updates, backups are not optional - they are essential. Although manual backups or third-party plugins are generally dependable, they can sometimes produce incomplete, outdated, or unsuccessful backups.
Automated backup systems, particularly [...]
📅 - ArcLight, DigitalBridge Invest $500M in Takanock’s Data Centers - More than $500 million in capital is being invested into next-generation data center infrastructure by ArcLight Capital Partners and DigitalBridge Group, who are backing Takanock - an emerging power infrastructure startup aiming to solve one of the most critical constraints in hyperscale data center expansion: power availability.

📅 - Gartner: 40% of Agentic AI Projects Will Fail by 2027 - A new Gartner analysis warns that over 40% of current agentic AI initiatives are likely to be abandoned by the end of 2027 due to rising costs, unclear business value, and a lack of sufficient risk controls. While agentic AI - artificial intelligence that can independently make decisions and take action to accomplish goals - is widely viewed as the next frontier in enterprise automation, the current wave of early experimentation may be moving too fast for its own good.
Anushree Verma, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner, explained that much of the current activity in the space is being driven by hype rather than viable implementation strategies. "The majority of agentic AI projects at the [...]

📅 - HPE Cleared to Buy Juniper for $14B, Targets Cisco in AI Networking - Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has received the green light to proceed with its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, clearing a key regulatory hurdle after months of scrutiny from U.S. authorities. The approval comes following a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which had filed a lawsuit earlier this year to block the deal on antitrust grounds.
The agreement, filed on June 27 with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, is expected to receive final judicial approval, clearing the path for HPE to finalize the transaction.
The DOJ initially challenged the merger in January, citing concerns that combining HPE and Juniper would stifle [...]
