PADO Raises $6M for AI-Driven Data Center Energy Orchestration
📅 - PADO AI Orchestration, a U.S.-based software startup backed by LG NOVA, has raised $6 million in seed funding to expand its AI-powered energy orchestration platform. The round, led by NovaWave Capital, aims to accelerate product development and global expansion, targeting mid-market colocation data centers facing mounting power and efficiency constraints.
The company's platform is designed to address a growing challenge across the data center industry: how to maximize compute output within limited power and cooling capacity. As AI workloads continue to surge, operators are under pressure to increase performance without waiting for new infrastructure or grid capacity.

📅 - 1stProtect Exits Stealth with Real-Time Endpoint Security Platform - A new Silicon Valley cybersecurity startup, 1stProtect, emerged from stealth this week, unveiling an endpoint security platform designed to stop data theft in real time. Founded by veterans of CrowdStrike, Symantec, and Cisco, the company will debut its technology at RSAC 2026, targeting enterprises grappling with AI-driven cyberattacks and increasingly complex infrastructure environments worldwide.
The company positions its platform as a fundamental shift away from traditional, cloud-dependent security models. Instead of detecting threats after compromise, 1stProtect aims to prevent unauthorized data access at the moment it occurs, using local enforcement mechanisms embedded directly [...]
📅 - Siemens, Rittal Partner To Tackle AI Data Center Power Demands - Siemens and Rittal have announced a strategic partnership to develop standardized, sustainable power distribution solutions for next-generation data centers across the IEC market, aiming to accelerate AI infrastructure deployment, reduce time-to-compute, and address surging power density challenges as hyperscale operators and enterprises scale high-performance workloads globally amid rising energy and efficiency demands.
The collaboration brings together Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Rittal, part of the Friedhelm Loh Group, to design integrated systems that support increasingly complex and power-intensive AI data center environments.
At the core of the partnership is a shared [...]
📅 - Ampere Broadens European Presence with Major Cloud Rollouts - Ampere Computing is accelerating its European expansion as cloud providers across the region roll out new Arm-based instances powered by AmpereOne processors. The move spans hyperscale and regional platforms in key markets including the U.K., Germany, France, and the Nordics, addressing rising demand for efficient, sovereign-ready cloud infrastructure and AI workloads.
Ampere's latest push reflects a broader shift in Europe's cloud market, where enterprises are increasingly prioritizing performance-per-watt, regulatory compliance, and geographic data control. By partnering with a mix of global hyperscalers and regional providers, the company is positioning its Arm-based CPUs as a [...]
📅 - AI Set to Dominate Cyber Incident Response by 2028, Gartner Warns - Artificial intelligence is reshaping enterprise cybersecurity faster than many organizations can adapt, with analysts warning that by 2028, half of all incident response efforts will be tied to AI-driven applications. The forecast, presented this week at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit in Sydney, highlights a shift that is already exposing gaps in how security teams detect and respond to threats.
The projection reflects a broader reality: AI is no longer just a tool used by defenders - it is becoming a primary source of risk. As enterprises build and deploy custom AI applications at speed, security teams are increasingly tasked with managing systems that behave in [...]
📅 - Qilimanjaro Unveils Hybrid Quantum Cloud Platform in Barcelona - Barcelona-based startup Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has launched a new cloud platform, SpeQtrum QaaS, offering remote access to what it claims is the world's first multimodal quantum data center. The quantum computing service combines analog and digital quantum processors with classical high-performance computing resources, aiming to accelerate practical quantum experimentation for researchers and enterprise users globally today.
The move reflects a broader shift in quantum computing - from theoretical promise toward more accessible, hybrid architectures that blend quantum and classical systems. While most providers focus on single approaches, Qilimanjaro is betting on a combined model to [...]
📅 - Scaleway Expands into Italy as Europe Pushes for Cloud Sovereignty - French cloud provider Scaleway has launched a new cloud region in Milan, marking its formal entry into the Italian market and underscoring a broader push to build a European alternative to U.S.-dominated hyperscalers. The move, announced this week, reflects growing demand for locally governed cloud infrastructure aligned with EU regulations and data sovereignty requirements.
The company, part of telecom group iliad, is positioning the expansion as more than geographic growth. It is a strategic play tied to Europe's ongoing effort to reduce reliance on foreign cloud providers, particularly as regulatory, geopolitical, and data governance concerns intensify.
