Jan, 2026 : Railway Raises $100M as AI Strains Traditional Cloud
📅 - Startup Railway has raised $100 million in a Series B funding round as artificial intelligence accelerates software development and exposes growing limitations in traditional cloud infrastructure. The round was led by TQ Ventures, with participation from FPV Ventures, Redpoint, and Unusual Ventures, bringing Railway's total funding to a level that reflects increasing investor interest in alternatives to hyperscale cloud platforms.
The financing arrives at a pivotal moment for cloud computing. As AI tools dramatically increase the speed at which software is written, tested, and deployed, many development teams are struggling with cloud environments originally designed for slower, manually [...][...

📅 - Schneider Electric Debuts 2.5MW CDU for AI Data Centers - Motivair by Schneider Electric has unveiled a new high-capacity coolant distribution unit aimed squarely at the growing demands of AI-driven data center infrastructure. The launch of the 2.5-megawatt MCDU-70 marks a significant step in liquid cooling technology as operators confront unprecedented heat densities driven by next-generation GPUs and large-scale AI deployments.
As AI factories and high-performance computing environments scale toward gigawatt-class power consumption, traditional air-cooling methods are increasingly unable to cope. GPUs used for AI training and inference can generate between 20 and 50 times more heat than conventional CPUs, pushing rack densities toward levels [...]
📅 - Data Centers Capture One-Fifth of Global Investment in 2025 - Global capital is flowing decisively toward data centers as AI and digital demand accelerate. New UN Trade and Development data shows data center projects accounted for nearly one-fifth of global greenfield foreign direct investment in 2025, underscoring their growing influence on where and how money is being deployed worldwide.
According to preliminary figures released on January 20, announced foreign direct investment into data center projects is expected to exceed $270 billion for the year. This surge means data centers represented close to one-fifth of the total value of all greenfield investments globally, placing the sector among the largest recipients of newly built, company-owned [...]
📅 - Upscale AI Lands $200M to Build Scale-Up Networks for AI Systems - Upscale AI has secured a major early-stage funding round as investors continue to bet on networking as one of the most critical constraints in scaling artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company announced it has raised $200 million in Series A financing.
The size and speed of the raise reflect a growing consensus across the AI infrastructure ecosystem that traditional data center networking is increasingly ill-suited to modern AI workloads.
The funding round was led by Tiger Global, Premji Invest, and Xora Innovation, with additional participation from Maverick Silicon, StepStone Group, Mayfield, Prosperity7 Ventures, Intel Capital, and Qualcomm Ventures. Including earlier [...]
📅 - Zeroport Raises $10M to Rethink Secure Remote Access - Zeroport has raised $10 million in a funding round to accelerate product development and expand internationally, as organizations grapple with persistent security risks tied to remote access. The round was led by Lool Ventures, with participation from Clarim Ventures, CyberFuture, and Fusion Fund.
The company plans to use the capital over the next year to double its workforce, enter the North American and Asian markets, and further develop its Fantom secure remote access platform.
The investment comes as remote access remains a critical vulnerability for enterprises and operators of sensitive infrastructure. Despite years of investment in cybersecurity, many organizations still rely on [...]
📅 - How Much RAM Does Your Dedicated Server Really Need? - While CPUs and storage often get the spotlight, RAM is the component that quietly determines whether applications feel fast and stable or sluggish and unreliable. In a business environment where uptime, responsiveness, and scalability directly affect revenue and customer trust, underestimating server memory requirements can quickly become an expensive mistake.
As workloads diversify - from web hosting and databases to virtualization and AI - understanding how much RAM is truly needed for a dedicated server has become a critical planning exercise for IT and infrastructure leaders.
Random access memory acts as a server's short-term working space, holding data and instructions that active [...]
📅 - DCX Unveils 8MW Liquid Cooling Unit for Next-Gen AI - In many installations, the FDU V2AT2's record-breaking flowrate and up to 8.15MW of heat transfer capacity allow for 45°C warm-water operation, which can do away with the need for chillers on the heat-rejection side. Heat reuse and chiller-less heat transfer are further made possible by the most powerful heat exchanger in the industry fitted into this innovative cooling system.
According to Maciek Szadkowski, CTO at DCX Liquid Cooling Systems, "operators need cooling systems that won't be obsolete in one platform cycle as the datacenter industry transitions to AI factories." The FDU V2AT2 allows for 45°C supply water operation and replaces several outdated 1.3 MW CDUs. This new class of [...]
