Mar, 2026 : Rigetti Plans $100M UK Investment For Quantum Expansion
📅 - Rigetti Computing plans to invest up to $100 million in the UK to expand its quantum computing footprint, marking its first major deployment outside the US. Announced in March 2026, the move includes building a system exceeding 1,000 qubits within four years, aligning with the UK government's £2 billion push to position itself as a global quantum leader.
The investment signals a growing convergence between public funding and private ambition in the quantum sector. Governments want leadership. Companies want scale. Both are betting that early infrastructure commitments will translate into long-term advantage.
Rigetti, listed on Nasdaq, is positioning itself as a full-stack player - [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Scalvy Secures $13.9M to Solve Power Bottleneck for AI Data Centers - Scalvy, an Austin-based power infrastructure startup, has raised $13.9 million in an oversubscribed Series A round to address a growing bottleneck in AI and electrification systems. Announced in March 2026, the funding will support deployment of its distributed power platform across data centers, energy storage, and mobility markets increasingly constrained by scale, efficiency, and reliability demands.
The round was led by Silicon Badia alongside a strategic investor, with participation from Azolla Ventures, Climate Capital, Skyriver Ventures, and others. It brings Scalvy's total funding to roughly $17 million, as the company moves toward certification and early deployments while scaling [...]
📅 - Study: Fragmented Cloud Strategies Raise Costs and Risk - Info-Tech Research Group is warning enterprises that fragmented cloud strategies are quietly inflating costs and exposing governance gaps, as organizations expand cloud environments without consistent decision frameworks. In research released in March 2026, the firm says disconnected approaches to workload placement, access control, and cost management are undermining performance and limiting business value across increasingly complex, multi-cloud environments worldwide.
Many organizations are no longer struggling to adopt cloud - they are struggling to control it. What began as a push for agility has evolved into a patchwork of platforms, policies, and workloads, often stitched together [...]
📅 - CyrusOne Enters Italy With First Milan Data Center Project - CyrusOne has broken ground on its first Italian data center in Segrate, near Milan, marking a strategic push into Southern Europe's fast-growing digital infrastructure market. Announced in March 2026, the €-scale development reflects rising enterprise demand for regional capacity, as operators expand beyond saturated hubs to secure power, land, and proximity to emerging connectivity corridors.
The project, known as MIL1, will deliver 27MW of IT capacity across three data halls within a 7,000-square-meter facility. It is the first of two planned sites in Milan, positioning CyrusOne to capture demand from hyperscalers and enterprises increasingly looking south of Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and [...]
📅 - Aligned Secures $2.58B To Scale AI Data Center Growth - Aligned Data Centers has secured a $2.58 billion credit facility to accelerate U.S. expansion, underscoring surging demand for AI-driven infrastructure. The Dallas-based provider is tapping institutional capital markets to fund late-stage data center developments, reflecting a broader industry shift toward flexible financing as hyperscale and enterprise workloads strain capacity across key U.S. regions.
Aligned's new revolving credit facility, backed by insurers, pension funds and other institutional investors, is structured around six existing U.S. assets. The three-year agreement - extendable by two additional one-year terms - targets later-stage developments, a segment increasingly [...]
📅 - LCL Opens Major Brussels Data Center To Anchor AI Push - Belgium's LCL Data Centers has opened its largest facility yet in Diegem this week, expanding capacity for AI and cloud workloads while tightening local control over sensitive data. The new site, near Brussels, targets growing demand from public and regulated sectors and reflects mounting pressure across Europe to keep critical infrastructure within regional legal boundaries.
CEO Laurens van Reijen called the launch a step toward a "Belgian and European digital backbone," balancing ambition with necessity.The company is positioning the site as more than another server farm. It is, in effect, a statement about where data should live - and who should control it. That argument has gained [...]
📅 - KubeVirt v1.8 Lands, Quietly Reshaping Hybrid Cloud Ops - The KubeVirt community this week released version 1.8 alongside Kubernetes v1.35, positioning the update as a step toward more stable, scalable VM orchestration within container environments, amid growing enterprise pressure to modernise infrastructure without abandoning legacy workloads or surrendering control to dominant cloud providers and proprietary virtualization platforms.
It is not a flashy release. No headline feature that forces a rethink overnight. Instead, KubeVirt v1.8 reads like a project settling into itself - less experimentation, more discipline. That shift may matter more than any individual capability.
Three releases into its Virt Enhancement Proposal process, the [...]
