74% of IT Leaders Plan Budget Increases, Seek MSP Support in 2026
📅 - 74% of IT leaders anticipate budget increases in 2026, according to statistics from the ‘2026 Data Infrastructure Survey Report' released by DataStrike, a pioneer in data infrastructure managed services. More than half, however, claim they still lack the internal resources necessary to spur innovation or swiftly resolve problems.
However, 60% of businesses now use MSPs to handle their data infrastructure, which is more than twice as many as DataStrike's ‘2025 Data Infrastructure Survey Report,' highlighting an increasing reliance on outside knowledge as teams deal with technical debt and modernization.
While cloud adoption has become commonplace, many organizations are struggling with [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Flex Deploys Advanced Liquid Cooling System at Equinix Facility - At the Equinix Co-Innovation Facility (CIF) in Ashburn, Virginia, global manufacturing and technology solutions leader Flex has unveiled a next-generation rack-level liquid cooling system designed to address the surging power and thermal demands of AI and high-performance computing (HPC).
The installation marks a major step in Flex's collaboration with Equinix to develop and validate advanced cooling technologies for high-density workloads. The new system integrates JetCool's direct liquid cooling (DLC) technology - a Flex subsidiary known for its precision-engineered microconvective cooling systems - with Open Compute Project (OCP) ORv3 rack architecture.
Flex manufactures every [...]
📅 - Anthropic to Invest $50 Billion in U.S. AI Data Centers - AI research company Anthropic has announced a sweeping $50 billion investment to build a new generation of AI data centers across the United States, beginning with large-scale facilities in New York and Texas. The project, developed in partnership with cloud infrastructure provider Fluidstack, marks one of the largest private infrastructure commitments in the emerging AI economy.
The facilities are designed to align with the U.S. AI Action Plan, a federal initiative aimed at bolstering domestic innovation, securing AI supply chains, and maintaining U.S. leadership in advanced computing. The significant investment by Anthropic comes amid a surge of large-scale data center spending by [...]
📅 - Vantage Invests $2B to Build Hyperscale Data Center Campus in Virginia - Vantage Data Centers has announced a $2 billion investment to build a 192-megawatt hyperscale data center campus in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The development, known as VA4, marks the company's fourth campus in the Commonwealth and expands its total Virginia capacity to 782MW - a combined investment now nearing $8 billion across the state.
Situated in Stafford County, roughly an hour south of Vantage's existing campuses in Loudoun County's Data Center Alley, the new VA4 site will span 82 acres and feature three data centers totaling nearly 929,000 square feet. The project reflects the growing trend of hyperscale operators moving beyond Northern Virginia's dense, power-constrained corridors [...]
📅 - DDR5 vs DDR4 vs DDR3: Choosing the Right RAM for Servers - For more than two decades, memory performance has quietly determined the success or failure of enterprise servers and hosting infrastructure. As workloads evolve - from web hosting to AI, analytics, and high-performance computing - the type of RAM (Random Access Memory) you choose has become one of the most critical architectural decisions in IT planning.
From legacy DDR3 modules to the new high-speed DDR5 generation, the right configuration can make or break a server's ability to handle resource-intensive workloads, maintain uptime, and control operating costs. The leap in performance between each generation isn't just incremental - it's reshaping how data centers, hosting providers, and [...]
📅 - Netskope, NEVERHACK Unveil Managed SSE for Zero Trust Cloud Security - Netskope, a global provider of modern network and cloud security technology, has announced a new partnership with managed security service provider NEVERHACK to deliver a fully managed Security Service Edge (SSE) solution. The jointly developed service integrates the Netskope One platform with NEVERHACK's 24/7 security operations expertise.
This would give organizations a unified, turnkey approach to securing data, users, and cloud environments.
The partnership comes at a time when enterprises face rapidly expanding attack surfaces, driven by hybrid work, cloud adoption, and AI-driven threats. Cybersecurity leaders increasingly struggle with fragmented toolsets, limited internal [...]
📅 - Vertiv Debuts CoolCenter Immersion System for High-Density AI Cooling - Vertiv has expanded its global liquid cooling portfolio with the launch of the Vertiv CoolCenter Immersion cooling system, a fully engineered solution designed to meet the extreme thermal requirements of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
The new immersion cooling system is now available across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), marking a strategic step in Vertiv's efforts to support customers facing unprecedented rack densities and soaring heat loads driven by next-generation compute.
Immersion cooling works by submerging servers directly into a dielectric liquid - one that does not conduct electricity - allowing heat to be removed evenly and far more [...]
