Caribbean Datacenter Association Adds 0Wire Communications
📅 - Viper Networks subsidiary 0Wire Communications has joined the Caribbean Datacenter Association as an affiliate member this week, positioning itself within the region's growing digital infrastructure ecosystem as it prepares telecom rollouts across the Eastern Caribbean and seeks relevance in a market defined by connectivity gaps and data sovereignty ambitions.
The move follows earlier steps by Viper Networks to establish 0Wire CARICOM in St. Lucia, part of a broader push into Caribbean telecom markets. The company says it plans to begin operations in Dominica, followed by St. Lucia and St. Kitts, offering fixed wireless, mobile, and smart city services.

📅 - Xebia Expands European Cloud Offering with OVHcloud - Xebia has partnered with OVHcloud to offer enterprises a European-based alternative to US cloud platforms, the companies said this week, targeting regulated industries seeking stricter data control as compliance pressure grows across the EU and concerns over jurisdiction and data sovereignty continue to shape infrastructure decisions.
The move adds OVHcloud to Xebia's list of supported providers, giving customers access to infrastructure designed to meet European data residency requirements. That includes public cloud services, managed Kubernetes, and database platforms, bundled with Xebia's advisory and implementation work.
It's not a radical shift, but it reflects a steady change in [...]
📅 - Aembit And Netskope Target AI Agent Security Gap - Aembit and Netskope this week unveiled a joint security framework for agentic AI deployments, aiming to close a widening enterprise risk gap. Announced alongside recent product launches, the integration combines identity enforcement with AI traffic inspection as companies scramble to control fast-growing machine-driven workloads across hybrid and cloud environments.
The timing is not accidental. Enterprises are rolling out AI agents faster than most security teams can map, let alone govern. According to Gartner, agentic AI will appear in a third of enterprise applications by 2028, a sharp jump from near-zero adoption just a few years ago. That pace leaves identity systems - still largely [...]
📅 - 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 [...]
📅 - LINX Completes Major London Network Refresh With Nokia - London Internet Exchange has completed a major overhaul of its 17-site London interconnection network, selecting Nokia as its technical partner, the organisations said this week, as the UK's core internet infrastructure faces rising demand, ageing hardware and growing pressure to support higher-capacity traffic driven by cloud and AI workloads.
The upgrade focuses on LON2, LINX's secondary interconnection fabric, which operates alongside the primary LON1 network. Together, they form a dual-LAN architecture designed to avoid single points of failure - a principle that has defined LINX's approach for more than two decades.
This wasn't a routine refresh. The existing LON2 platform had [...]
📅 - AI Drives Workplace Convergence NTT Data Flags Execution Gap - Artificial intelligence is moving from pilot projects to core operations, according to a new report released this week by NTT DATA, based on research with Everest Group across 330 enterprises globally, which finds most companies planning to unify workplace, network and field services by 2030 but failing to act, exposing a widening execution gap right now today.
The numbers are not subtle. More than 80% of enterprises expect to collapse workplace systems, connectivity and field operations into a single operating model within five years, according to the research report by NTT Data. At the same time, most are still running fragmented environments stitched together over a decade of cloud [...]
📅 - Digital Realty Targets Milan Data Center Expansion as Rival Builds - Digital Realty has announced plans to expand into Milan with new land acquisitions for a future data center campus, the company said this week, as demand for AI infrastructure grows and competition intensifies following recent expansion moves in the Italian market by rivals including CyrusOne.
The company has secured two plots in Abbiategrasso, southwest of Milan, located about one kilometer apart. The site sits along a subsea traffic corridor linking Milan to Genoa and Savona, with access to dense terrestrial fiber routes across Northern Italy.
Initial deployment will begin with an 8-megawatt facility, expected to be ready by 2028. Over time, Digital Realty plans to scale the campus [...]
