ABB Invests $110M in US to Boost Electrification, Data Center Demand
📅 - ABB is set to expand its footprint in the United States with an additional $110 million investment in 2025, focusing on research, development, and manufacturing of advanced electrification solutions. The move underscores the growing pressure on industries to manage rising energy costs and improve efficiency at a time when the U.S. energy landscape is being reshaped by surging data center demand and grid modernization efforts.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), U.S. wholesale electricity prices rose by 30 to 40 percent in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024, reflecting the mounting challenges facing operators across sectors.
The new investment is expected to create [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
Though it lacks the contextual knowledge needed for GenAI and agentic applications to protect, scale, and regulate agents, tools, and LLMs, Kubernetes offers a solid basis for cloud native applications. By adding context-aware networking and context-aware runtime components to Kubernetes that natively support agent-native protocols like MCP and A2A, Kagent Enterprise bridges this gap. This enables platform and AI teams to apply AgentOps to any tool server or agent framework that they use in their agentic applications, [...]
📅 - Eaton Launches AI Power Burst Detection to Protect Data Centers - Intelligent power management company Eaton has introduced what it calls an industry-first capability to detect and mitigate large fluctuations in electricity consumption caused by artificial intelligence workloads. The new solution is delivered through a firmware update to the company's Power Xpert Quality (PXQ) event analysis system.
It is designed to identify subsynchronous oscillations (SSO) - severe power bursts linked to AI data center operations - before they can damage infrastructure or disrupt grid stability.
The rise of GPU-driven AI computing has brought with it an unprecedented challenge for power distribution. Unlike traditional enterprise IT, AI workloads are characterized [...]
📅 - Proxmox Launches Datacenter Manager Beta to Challenge VMware - Proxmox is taking a decisive step into the enterprise virtualization market with the release of the beta version of its Datacenter Manager, a tool designed to simplify the management of multiple hardware clusters. For organizations seeking credible alternatives to VMware in the wake of Broadcom's acquisition, this move positions Proxmox as a serious contender.
The Vienna-based company is best known for its flagship product, Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), a hyperconverged infrastructure suite built on open source technologies that enables organizations to run and manage both virtual machines and containers. Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH says more than 1.6 million hosts now run on its [...]
📅 - Digital Realty, OQC, NVIDIA Launch first Quantum-AI Data Center in NYC - Digital Realty, Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), and NVIDIA have unveiled the launch of what they call the world's first dedicated Quantum-AI data center, located at Digital Realty's JFK10 facility in New York City. The project brings together superconducting quantum computing, AI-accelerated supercomputing, and enterprise-grade data center infrastructure in a single deployment.
It marks a significant milestone in the convergence of two of the most transformative technologies in modern computing.
At the heart of the initiative is OQC's GENESIS quantum computer, described as a logical-era machine designed to reduce hardware overheads for error correction. This system has now been integrated [...]
📅 - Microgrids Seen as Key to Powering AI-Driven Data Center Growth Europe - European data centers are under mounting pressure as the rapid growth of artificial intelligence drives electricity demand to unprecedented levels, and a new joint research paper argues that microgrids could provide a way forward. The study was published by Wärtsilä and AVK.
The report by Wärtsilä and AVK highlights how a combination of renewable energy, grid balancing engines, and energy storage can offer a cost-efficient and lower-emissions model for powering data centers, while simultaneously helping Europe advance its energy transition.
The report, ‘Data centre dispatchable capacity: a major opportunity for Europe's energy transition,' outlines the scale of the challenge. Power [...]
📅 - MongoDB Unveils AMP to Speed AI-Powered Legacy App Modernization - MongoDB has announced the release of MongoDB AMP, an AI-powered Application Modernization Platform designed to help enterprises accelerate the transformation of legacy applications into modern, scalable services. The platform brings together AI-driven tooling, a structured delivery framework, and experienced engineers to guide customers through complex modernization projects.
It positions itself as a response to one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise IT: how to efficiently upgrade legacy systems without incurring excessive costs or delays.
Enterprises across sectors rely heavily on legacy applications that are both mission-critical and difficult to evolve. Many of these [...]
