Belgian Tech Firms Target Rising Demand for Data Resilience
📅 - Belgian technology firms Capsyra and Cubixion are trying to reposition enterprise storage around resilience rather than raw capacity, arguing that tightening European regulation, ransomware exposure, and concerns over cloud dependency are changing how organizations think about keeping data alive during disruption and accessible across shifting technology environments over longer periods.
For years, enterprise storage largely sat in the background - expensive, necessary, rarely strategic unless something broke. That logic is fraying.
The combination of escalating cyberattacks, stricter European operational resilience rules, and growing discomfort around dependence on a handful of [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Cerebras IPO Turns Costly AI Chip Gamble Into $67 Billion - Cerebras Systems spent years looking like an expensive semiconductor experiment headed toward collapse. Now the AI chipmaker sits at a valuation approaching $67 billion after a blockbuster public debut, raising a harder question for investors: whether wafer-scale computing represents a genuine architectural shift or simply extraordinary timing.
The company's path here was not remotely inevitable.
By 2019, Cerebras was reportedly burning roughly $8 million per month after consuming around $200 million in financing, while attempting something much of the semiconductor industry regarded as borderline irrational. Instead of cutting silicon wafers into smaller chips - standard practice across [...]
📅 - GridCARE Raises $64M as AI’s Power Problem Deepens - GridCARE has raised $64 million in an oversubscribed Series A round to tackle what many inside the artificial intelligence industry increasingly describe as the next existential bottleneck: electricity. The company argues much of the power needed for AI already exists inside underused grids - if utilities and operators can actually unlock it.
That last part matters.
Because the AI industry is suddenly confronting an uncomfortable truth. Chips alone are no longer the limiting factor. Nor land. Nor even cooling, although liquid cooling engineers may disagree. The harder constraint increasingly looks like power availability - specifically, how long it takes to secure reliable electricity [...]
📅 - PwC, Anthropic Expand Alliance to Scale Enterprise AI - PwC and Anthropic are widening their alliance around Claude, shifting the consulting giant further into a future where AI systems are expected not merely to assist workers but to execute meaningful chunks of enterprise labor. The ambition is large: rebuild software delivery, corporate dealmaking, and back-office functions around autonomous workflows at scale.
The announcement arrives at a moment when corporate AI spending faces growing scrutiny. Enterprises have moved well beyond experimentation budgets. Boards increasingly want proof that billions invested in AI platforms, copilots, and infrastructure produce measurable operational outcomes rather than prettier slide decks.
PwC and [...]
📅 - Cockroach Labs Courts IBM Enterprises With Distributed SQL - Cockroach Labs is bringing its distributed SQL database into IBM's infrastructure orbit, adding CockroachDB to IBM Cloud and extending support to IBM Power systems, a move aimed at enterprises reluctant to abandon longstanding investments while facing new pressure to modernize databases for distributed, data-intensive, increasingly autonomous applications at scale.
Database modernization has become one of those uncomfortable conversations enterprises can no longer postpone. Especially inside organizations still running large transactional systems on IBM infrastructure.
For years, IBM Power environments - durable, expensive, deeply embedded - have hosted workloads companies were reluctant [...]
📅 - Fortinet and NVIDIA Target AI Runtime Security Risks - As enterprises rush AI systems into production, Fortinet and NVIDIA are moving to secure a fragile layer few companies fully understand yet: the runtime environment where autonomous agents, models, and sensitive enterprise data increasingly collide. The companies say tighter integration aims to secure AI infrastructure without introducing latency or operational friction.
The timing is difficult to ignore.
Enterprise AI adoption has moved beyond experimentation faster than many security teams expected. Internal copilots. Autonomous agents interacting with corporate systems. Large language models making decisions, retrieving sensitive records, triggering workflows. In many organizations, [...]
📅 - Akamai to Buy LayerX for $205M to Expand AI Guardrails Fast - Akamai plans to acquire browser security startup LayerX for roughly $205 million, expanding beyond infrastructure protection into a newer enterprise anxiety: monitoring how employees and autonomous agents interact with generative AI tools inside browsers, where much of today's corporate work - and increasingly sensitive data exchange - now occurs.
For cybersecurity vendors, the browser has quietly become the new perimeter. Or perhaps the least protected one.
Employees spend most of their working day inside web applications, SaaS platforms, and increasingly, generative AI interfaces. They upload files into large language models, paste customer information into chat windows, test internal [...]
