📅 - Switch Expands Las Vegas Footprint With $85M Land Acquisition - Switch has taken another step in expanding its data center footprint with the acquisition of a large parcel of land in Apex Industrial Park, an expansive but sparsely developed area in North Las Vegas. Property records show that the Las Vegas–based data center operator paid approximately $85.5 million for about 176 acres, with the transaction closing last month.
The acquisition adds to growing indications that Apex could emerge as a new hub for large-scale digital infrastructure in the region.
The land acquisition by Switch comes at a time when demand for data center capacity continues to surge, driven by cloud computing, artificial intelligence workloads, and the broader digitization of [...]
📅 - Rigetti to Deliver 108-Qubit Quantum System to India - Rigetti has secured an $8.4 million purchase order to supply a 108-qubit quantum computer to Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India's national research organization under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
The system will be installed on-premises at C-DAC's Bengaluru facility and is scheduled for deployment in the second half of 2026, marking a significant step in India's efforts to integrate quantum computing into its advanced research infrastructure.
The planned installation will place the Rigetti system directly within C-DAC's supercomputing environment, enabling closer integration between classical high-performance computing resources and [...]
📅 - Study: AI Pushes Enterprise IT Infrastructure Beyond Its Limits - Global cybersecurity infrastructure provider Netskope has published new research indicating that the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence adoption is putting enterprise IT infrastructure under mounting pressure, exposing the limits of legacy technologies in areas such as resilience, performance, and security.
Netskope's research findings point to a growing gap between executive ambition and operational readiness. While AI has become a top strategic priority in boardrooms, many infrastructure and operations teams lack the capability, resources, or modern platforms required to support AI-driven workloads at scale.
Based on interviews with infrastructure and operations leaders [...]
