Dutch Businesses Rethink Cloud Risk As Sovereignty Concerns Grow
📅 - Small and mid-sized companies in the Netherlands are increasingly uneasy about where their data sits, with 68% worried about control by non-European providers, according to OVHcloud research. The survey also found that 80% would prefer a European cloud supplier, citing privacy, sovereignty, lock-in and the possibility that policy shifts could abruptly cut off access to critical business systems overnight.
The numbers are useful, though not neutral. OVHcloud has every commercial reason to surface anxiety around sovereignty. It is a European cloud provider selling into a market dominated by American hyperscalers. Still, the finding lands in a real procurement debate, especially in the [...][...

📅 - DE-CIX and TOWARDEX Bring New York Exchange Access to Boston - DE-CIX and TOWARDEX have connected Boston's Hub Express System to DE-CIX New York, offering regional networks access to peering and cloud services without renting space in traditional carrier hotels. The arrangement removes cross connect fees at both ends, according to the partners, changing part of the cost calculation for operators seeking connectivity beyond Boston's local network ecosystem.
For a regional internet provider or hosting operator, reaching an exchange can require more than purchasing a port. Equipment placement, transport, physical connections and maintenance arrangements all enter the bill. Removing the need for a separate colocation presence could make participation [...]
📅 - Arista Networks Introduces Liquid Cooled Fabrics for AI Cloud Deployments - Arista Networks has introduced Ethernet rack architectures supporting up to 144 accelerators within a single rack and larger computing domains across racks. The portfolio targets AI training and inference infrastructure, combining networking and liquid cooling, while leaving cloud operators to establish whether greater density and architectural choice improve GPU utilization enough to justify deployment costs in practice.
For providers renting GPU clusters, the relevant purchasing unit is increasingly the interconnected system. Accelerators waiting for data cannot deliver their full processing capacity, even when the underlying hardware is expensive and available. A faster fabric may [...]
📅 - OVHcloud and CGI Win European Space Agency Data Platform Deal - OVHcloud and CGI have won a 30 month European Space Agency contract to build a computing platform for Europe's Earth observation data. OVHcloud will supply cloud infrastructure, while CGI will design and integrate the system. The award gives a European provider a strategic public workload, but leaves the capacity, contract value and operating economics undisclosed for now.
The platform, called Digital EO, is intended to combine storage, computing and AI tools for researchers, public agencies and businesses. It will connect with existing national and European facilities rather than replace them outright. That makes interoperability a requirement with direct operating consequences. Users [...]
📅 - OVHcloud Questions Business Case for Europe’s AI Gigafactories - OVHcloud is questioning whether Europe's emerging AI Gigafactory model can support the economics required to justify massive GPU investment, arguing that current public commitments leave operators carrying much of the commercial risk. The concerns were laid out in a newly published blog article by OVHcloud founder, Chairman and CEO Octave Klaba, who challenges several assumptions underpinning the proposed infrastructure model.
Klaba argues that single-site designs, nationally bounded demand, and the rapid depreciation of GPU hardware could leave multibillion-euro infrastructure projects struggling to maintain sufficient utilization. His argument is not that Europe lacks a need for [...]
📅 - Hostinger Moves AI Agent Deeper Into Web Hosting Operations - Hostinger has replaced its Kodee support assistant with Hostinger Agent, extending artificial intelligence from customer service into website management, marketing, analytics and recurring business tasks. The hosting company says its earlier system resolved 91 percent of roughly 1.5 million monthly support conversations, giving the new agent a substantial installed base and a far broader operational mandate now.
The shift matters because Hostinger is no longer treating AI as a layer added to support. Hostinger Agent can work across websites, stores, domains, business email, newsletters, previous conversations and ongoing projects. It is also available inside Hostinger AI Builder, where [...]
