📅 - Data Center Firm Equinix Reserves Power from First Stellaria Reactor - Equinix is betting that the next wave of digital infrastructure will be powered not only by renewables and grid contracts, but by advanced nuclear. The global data center giant has signed a pre-order agreement with French start-up Stellaria for electricity from its first commercial molten salt reactor, a compact unit branded ‘Stellarium' that the company plans to deploy from 2035.
Under the arrangement, Equinix has reserved the first tranche of power capacity from a future Stellarium reactor, marking the inaugural capacity commitment Stellaria has secured.

📅 - Hosted.com Strengthens Web Hosting Security to Counter AI Cyber Threats - AI-powered attacks have become one of the most serious risks organizations face in 2025. Using machine learning and generative AI, attackers can analyze vast amounts of data, helping them identify vulnerabilities to infect systems, mimic legitimate traffic, and even generate hyper-realistic content, making them increasingly hard to detect.
The most common AI cyber attacks are phishing scams, deepfakes, adaptive malware, and prompt injection attacks. Each has a different way of operating but shares a foundation: automation, autonomy, and deception.
AI phishing scams use Large Language Models (LLMs) to create convincing messages that appear legitimate, contextually accurate and personal, [...]
📅 - Firefly Unveils Cloud Resilience Platform to Guard Against Outages - Firefly AI is targeting one of cloud computing's most persistent weak spots: the gap between backing up data and being able to bring critical systems back online when a cloud platform fails. The company has introduced a new Cloud Resilience Posture Management, or CRPM, solution that it says makes resilience measurable, automated, and continuous.
Rather than asking only whether data is backed up somewhere, CRPM evaluates whether the infrastructure, configurations, and dependencies needed to run that data can be rebuilt fast enough to meet business expectations during an outage.
The launch follows high-profile incidents in which both AWS and Microsoft Azure suffered major disruptions, [...]
