OVHcloud Tapped to Deliver Sovereign Cloud for ECB Digital Euro
📅 - OVHcloud has been selected by the European Central Bank to help underpin the digital euro with sovereign cloud infrastructure, joining a consortium of cloud providers announced in Europe. The move places the French cloud group at the center of one of the bloc's most politically charged technology projects, aimed at reducing reliance on US hyperscalers and asserting control over critical financial systems.
The contract, awarded via partner Senacor Technologies, will see OVHcloud supply EU-based infrastructure for SEPI - the Secure Exchange of Payment Information layer designed to support the digital euro's transaction backbone. The ECB's long-gestating central bank digital currency (CBDC) [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Dapr Agents General Availability Brings Reliability to Enterprise AI - At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in Amsterdam, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has pushed Dapr Agents v1.0 into general availability, positioning it as a production-ready framework for running AI agents at scale. The release targets enterprises struggling to move agent-based systems from experimentation into reliable, secure, and operationally stable environments across Kubernetes-driven infrastructure today.
The timing is not accidental. AI agents - autonomous or semi-autonomous systems that execute multi-step tasks - have moved quickly from research demos into boardroom conversations. What's lagging is everything around them: reliability, orchestration and operational [...]
📅 - Vertiv Aligns Converged Infrastructure with NVIDIA Rubin AI - Vertiv is aligning its power and cooling infrastructure with NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin AI factory designs, aiming to simplify how large-scale AI facilities are built and deployed. Announced this week, the collaboration introduces simulation-ready infrastructure components and modular building blocks as operators struggle with rising density, integration complexity and time-to-deployment pressures across hyperscale and enterprise environments.
The partnership is less about a single product and more about reshaping how data centers are engineered. As AI workloads push infrastructure beyond familiar limits, vendors are increasingly pitching integrated, pre-validated systems rather [...]
📅 - Duos Edge AI Expands Edge Footprint in Texas Market - Duos Edge AI has deployed its second edge data center in Amarillo, Texas, doubling down on a strategy to bring AI infrastructure closer to underserved regional markets. The new facility, announced this week, targets low-latency workloads for enterprises, healthcare providers and public sector users, as demand grows for distributed compute beyond traditional tier-one data center hubs across the United States.
The move is incremental - but telling. Edge infrastructure has long been discussed as the next phase of cloud, yet deployment has lagged behind the rhetoric. Duos Edge AI is betting that smaller, modular facilities in secondary markets can close that gap.
Its Amarillo expansion [...]
📅 - NVIDIA, Emerald AI Partner with Energy Firms on Flexible AI Factories - NVIDIA and Emerald AI have partnered with major U.S. energy companies including AES, Constellation and NextEra Energy to develop "flexible AI factories" that double as grid assets, the companies said this week. The initiative aims to accelerate data center deployment while easing strain on power infrastructure, as surging AI demand collides with aging grids and slow interconnection timelines across the United States.
The collaboration brings together a who's who of U.S. power generation alongside NVIDIA's expanding AI infrastructure stack, anchored in its new Vera Rubin DSX reference architecture. At its core is a simple, if ambitious, proposition: data centers shouldn't just consume [...]
📅 - Check Point Targets AI Risk with Unified Security Control Plane - Check Point uses RSA Conference 2026 in San Francisco this week to unveil its AI Defense Plane, a control layer designed to secure enterprise AI systems as they evolve into autonomous agents. The platform aims to address mounting risks as organizations deploy AI that can access data, trigger workflows, and act independently across increasingly complex digital environments.
The announcement lands at a moment when enterprise AI is shifting from experimentation to execution. What began as copilots and chat interfaces is rapidly becoming something more operational - and more exposed. AI agents are now querying systems, chaining tasks, and interacting with sensitive data, often with minimal [...]
📅 - Frore Systems Reaches $1.64B Unicorn Status in AI Cooling - Frore Systems has reached unicorn status after raising $143 million in a Series D round, as investors double down on cooling technologies underpinning AI infrastructure. The California-based company, now valued at $1.64 billion, is positioning its thermal platforms as critical enablers of next-generation compute, where heat - not chips - is increasingly the limiting factor across data centers and edge deployments worldwide.
The funding, led by MVP Ventures with participation from Fidelity, Mayfield and Qualcomm Ventures among others, brings total capital raised to $340 million. It reflects a broader shift in how investors view AI infrastructure: less focus on compute alone, more on the [...]
