Schneider’s India Data Center Business Gains AI Momentum
📅 - Schneider Electric expects its India data center business to overtake the company's broader local operations within four to five years, as AI demand pulls more capital toward power, cooling, software and services for compute facilities, a senior executive told Reuters. The forecast points to India's fast shift from back-office IT market to infrastructure battleground for global vendors.
Sumati Sahgal, Schneider Electric's vice president for Secure Power and Data Centers in the Greater India Zone, said data centers now account for roughly 15% to 20% of the company's India business and are growing at a double-digit pace. That is already meaningful. It also implies a fairly sharp mix change [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Bull Delivers Roihu as Finland Expands National HPC Capacity - Finland has switched on Roihu, a new national supercomputer delivered by Bull and operated by CSC in Kajaani, tripling domestic supercomputing capacity and expanding GPU resources more than tenfold. The system gives Finnish researchers more local access to high-performance computing, AI processing, large-scale storage, and secure handling of sensitive scientific data across universities and institutes nationwide today.
The timing is not accidental. Governments are rediscovering that compute is infrastructure, not just a service bought from somewhere else. AI has made that harder to ignore. Climate science, fluid dynamics, genomics, materials research, and machine learning all want larger [...]
📅 - SpaceX Gas Turbine Deal Shows AI Data Center Power Strain U.S. - SpaceX is reportedly preparing to spend $2.8 billion on natural gas turbines for AI data centers, a move that would let its xAI operations bypass slow grid connections while escalating legal, environmental, and energy-market questions. The plan puts a hard price on the AI industry's newest bottleneck: power that can be switched on quickly, locally, today, reliably.
The reported spending, spread over the next three years, includes roughly $2 billion for mobile gas turbines. These are not abstract procurement line items. Similar units have already drawn legal and regulatory scrutiny near Memphis, Tennessee, where xAI's operations have become a flashpoint over pollution, permitting, and who [...]
📅 - IGEL, Zscaler Release Distributed Care Security Blueprints - IGEL and Zscaler are taking a familiar healthcare security problem - too many exposed endpoints, too many access paths, too little tolerance for downtime - and packaging it into reference blueprints for providers now running care across hospitals, clinics, homes, and recovery environments. The companies introduced the guidance at HIMSS26 Europe in Copenhagen this week.
The move is not a product launch in the clean, simple sense. It is architecture. Or, more precisely, an attempt to tell healthcare IT teams how to assemble IGEL endpoint software and Zscaler's cloud security controls into patterns that survive the messier reality of modern care delivery.
That reality is no longer centered [...]
📅 - ORCA Takes Quantum Hardware into London Data Center Lab - ORCA Computing is putting its photonic quantum machines inside Digital Realty's new London Innovation Lab, giving enterprises a place to test quantum acceleration beside AI and HPC infrastructure before committing to deployment. The move is commercially modest but technically revealing, showing how quantum vendors are trying to escape research theater and enter operational data center workflows today.
Digital Realty's lab, known as DRIL, is meant to let customers trial emerging AI and quantum systems under live operating conditions rather than in a vendor demo room or academic setting. That is the important part. Enterprises have heard years of quantum claims. Most still lack a usable [...]
📅 - Qumulo Targets Idle Enterprise GPUs with New AI Data Fabric - Qumulo is aiming at one of enterprise AI's uglier cost problems: GPUs bought at premium prices but left waiting for data. Its new Cloud AI Accelerator presents distributed datasets to GPU resources across regions, clouds, and hybrid environments without copying or staging, positioning storage architecture as a direct lever on AI economics rather than invisible background plumbing.
The claim lands at a useful moment. Enterprises have spent heavily on accelerated compute, often under pressure from boards that do not want to miss the AI cycle. Then the infrastructure teams discover the less attractive part. Data is not where the GPUs are. Or it is not governed in a way that lets it move. Or [...]
📅 - EU States Press Brussels on Nuclear Data Center Rules - Ten European Union countries are pressing Brussels to treat nuclear power as sustainable in planned data center rules, turning a technical efficiency label into a fight over AI infrastructure, energy sovereignty, and where Europe wants future compute built. The intervention lands before the Commission adopts its next data center package on June 3, with industry watching closely.
The countries reportedly include France, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Czechia, Croatia, and Romania. Their complaint is aimed at the European Commission's draft approach under the Energy Efficiency Directive, where they argue the rules favor renewable electricity over nuclear power even [...]
