Modine Boosts Data Center Cooling with New Wisconsin Facility
📅 - Modine is expanding its footprint in the North American data center market with the launch of a new manufacturing facility in Franklin, Wisconsin, aimed squarely at the surging demand for high-efficiency cooling systems driven by cloud, AI and hyperscale workloads.
The company, listed on the NYSE under the ticker MOD, has officially opened a 155,000-square-foot plant that will focus on producing Airedale by Modine data center cooling solutions. The site forms a central pillar of a previously announced multi-year, US$100 million investment program to scale production capacity for digital infrastructure.
According to Modine, the Franklin facility is expected to generate more than 300 new [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Canonical Adds FIPS Kubernetes and Extends Ubuntu LTS to 15 Years - Canonical is extending its pitch to security- and compliance-sensitive organizations by adding FIPS 140-3 capabilities to its Kubernetes distribution and lengthening the lifecycle of Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) releases to as much as 15 years under Ubuntu Pro.
Together, the moves target government, defense, and other highly regulated sectors that face tight certification regimes and long-lived infrastructure, but still want to standardize on cloud-native platforms and Kubernetes.
The company has released support for running its Canonical Kubernetes distribution in FIPS mode as of version 1.34. The distribution now ships with built-in FIPS 140-3 capabilities that use certified [...]
📅 - Kubernetes to Retire Popular Ingress NGINX by March 2026 - Kubernetes maintainers have formally started the countdown to retire Ingress NGINX, one of the most widely deployed Ingress controllers in the cloud-native ecosystem. The Kubernetes SIG Network and the Security Response Committee have confirmed that the project will move into best-effort maintenance until March 2026, after which it will no longer receive releases, bug fixes, or security patches.
Existing deployments will continue to function, but users are being urged to migrate to alternative solutions well before that date.
Ingress NGINX has been a cornerstone of Kubernetes networking for years. Developed early in the project's history, it was originally conceived as a reference [...]

The company is positioning its SUSE AI stack, built on top of SUSE Rancher Prime, as a way for enterprises to run and govern hybrid AI workloads while simplifying the complexity that typically accompanies large-scale container and AI deployments.
SUSE AI is presented as a specialized stack that extends the core capabilities of SUSE Rancher Prime, the company's flagship Kubernetes and container management platform. Where Rancher Prime focuses on lifecycle management of Kubernetes clusters and workloads across on-premises, [...]
📅 - UK Fast-Tracks AI Zones with New North Wales Development Plan - The UK government is doubling down on its bid to become a leading hub for artificial intelligence, unveiling a new AI Growth Zone (AIGZ) in North Wales while promising to fast-track energy access and planning approvals for the hyperscale data centers that will underpin those ambitions.
The latest zone will span both sides of the Menai Strait, taking in parts of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) and Gwynedd, according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). The government says the site could support more than 3,400 jobs, ranging from AI research and development roles to temporary construction work as infrastructure is built out.
However, behind the political messaging, the [...]
📅 - EdgeMode, BAIF to Develop 1.5GW AI Data Center Portfolio in Spain - EdgeMode has taken a significant step toward expanding its position in the European AI infrastructure market with the signing of a definitive agreement with Blackberry AIF (BAIF) to acquire and develop a portfolio of large-scale data center sites across Spain.
The deal would position the U.S.-listed company (OTC: EDGM), a so called penny stock, as a major player in one of Europe's fastest-growing AI and hyperscale markets, where demand for power-secure compute infrastructure continues to outpace available supply.
Under the agreement, EdgeMode and BAIF will transfer five planned data center sites into a dedicated special purpose vehicle (SPV). EdgeMode will retain a 75% controlling [...]
