Schwarz Group and Telekom Advance Plans for Joint EU AI Gigafactory Bid
📅 - Schwarz Group and Deutsche Telekom are moving toward one of Europe's most ambitious digital infrastructure projects as both companies explore building a joint AI Gigafactory in Germany, a next-generation mega data center intended to accelerate Europe's sovereign AI capabilities.
As reported by Handelsblatt and corroborated by six other sources with knowledge of the preliminary talks, the two German behemoths are getting ready to submit a joint offer for EU funds designated for extensive, artificial intelligence-focused data infrastructure. Despite the progress of the negotiations, no formal agreement has been made as of yet.
The project could receive substantial financial support from [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - EDF, OpCore Plan Major Paris AI Data Center on Former Power Site - EDF and OpCore have entered exclusive negotiations to develop one of Europe's most powerful data center sites on the grounds of a former thermal power plant near the wider Paris metropolitan region, marking what could become a landmark project for European digital sovereignty and large-scale AI infrastructure.
The partners intend to transform the long-retired Montereau-Vallée-de-la-Seine coal site into a next-generation computing hub, with a planned multi-billion-euro investment from OpCore, the data center venture backed by the iliad Group and InfraVia Capital Partners. For both companies, the initiative signals a deeper alignment between France's energy leadership and its ambition to [...]
📅 - 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, [...]
📅 - 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, [...]
📅 - AWS and Google Cloud Unveil New Multicloud Connectivity Framework - AWS and Google Cloud are moving to redefine the future of multicloud connectivity, unveiling a new networking framework aimed at resolving one of the biggest friction points in enterprise cloud adoption. The initiative focuses on enabling reliable, high-performance connections between workloads running across competing hyperscale platforms.
The two companies revealed the initiative during AWS re:Invent 2025 in Las Vegas, positioning it as a foundational step toward building more resilient, enterprise-grade multicloud environments at a time when even small outages can cascade into major global disruptions. Their message aligns with a broader trend across the cloud industry, where [...]
📅 - Akamai Buys Fermyon to Bring WebAssembly Serverless to Edge - Akamai Technologies is expanding its cloud ambitions with the acquisition of Fermyon, a specialist in serverless computing built on WebAssembly, as it seeks to position its globally distributed platform as a preferred execution layer for AI and other latency-sensitive workloads at the edge.
The deal, which the company says will not materially affect its 2025 financial guidance, underscores a broader strategic shift: moving more compute away from centralized data centers and closer to users, devices, and data sources.
Fermyon has emerged as one of the notable players in the WebAssembly (Wasm) ecosystem, offering a function-as-a-service (FaaS) platform designed to run lightweight, [...]
📅 - Summit Acquires HorizonIQ to Expand Bare-Metal and Cloud Scale - Summit is expanding its position in the managed infrastructure and cloud services market with the acquisition of HorizonIQ, a specialist in high-performance bare metal and private cloud platforms with roots in legacy providers Internap and SingleHop.
The move is designed to give enterprise and mid-market customers more flexible deployment options across bare metal, virtualized environments, and private cloud, at a time when organizations are looking to balance performance, control, and cost against the convenience of hyperscale public clouds.
Backed by private equity firm Silver Oak Services Partners, Summit has built its business around managed IT infrastructure, application hosting, [...]
