May, 2026 : KPN Teams With Schwarz Digits on Dutch Sovereign Cloud
📅 - Dutch telecom firm KPN and Schwarz Digits, the digital arm of Lidl supermarket conglomerate parent Schwarz Group, are preparing a sovereign cloud region in the Netherlands for mid-2027, targeting Dutch organizations uneasy about foreign-controlled infrastructure. The service will run from KPN data centers, rely on STACKIT's European cloud stack, and be sold through KPN and its partners locally.
The immediate read is simple enough. Dutch buyers get another place to put sensitive workloads without sending procurement teams straight back to Microsoft, Amazon, or Google. The less simple read is more interesting: a national telecom operator and a retail conglomerate are trying to turn European [...][... Check source for end of article ...]

📅 - FS Updates Data Center Networking Portfolio With 400G Fabric - FS has launched a 400G high-speed interconnect package for cloud data centers, targeting operators struggling to stretch aging 100G fabrics across AI workloads, cross-site traffic and heavier east-west data flows. The ICT supplier is packaging spine-leaf switching, DCI gateways, EVPN-VXLAN and centralized management into a single architecture for multi-site deployments and resilient operations at global scale today.
The move is less about one more speed upgrade than about a familiar infrastructure problem getting harder to ignore. Cloud environments are becoming distributed. AI workloads are moving larger volumes of data between systems. Synchronization windows are shrinking. Traffic is [...]
📅 - Hivelocity Rolls Out Bare Metal Bundle for Fintech Workloads - IaaS hosting company Hivelocity has introduced a ‘fintech infrastructure' bundle aimed at moving steady, compliance-sensitive workloads onto bare metal, dedicated servers, edge sites and virtualized cloud capacity, arguing that hyperscale cloud pricing no longer fits much of the sector's production reality. The offer separates engineering, non-PCI production and customer-managed cardholder environments across three commercial and operational tiers for buyers globally.
Fintech teams are being asked to do two contradictory things at once: reduce infrastructure waste and prove stronger control over regulated systems. Public cloud still works well for variable demand, rapid experiments and [...]
📅 - Netskope Expands Sovereign SASE Controls Across 24 Markets - Netskope has expanded country-level sovereignty controls across two dozen markets, putting data location at the center of SASE buying as enterprises route more AI traffic through security clouds. Its NewEdge update covers local transport, processing, storage and metadata governance, giving regulated customers sharper questions to ask about where inspection happens and where compliance evidence stays afterward now.
Netskope is turning geography into a security control.
The company says its NewEdge network now supports national data localization configurations in 24 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, India, Japan, Singapore, [...]
📅 - Amazon Reworks AWS Data Center Networks for Speed and Cost - AWS has started replacing parts of its data center network with a quasi-random architecture designed to move traffic faster while using less hardware and power, a shift already under deployment in Europe and expected to reach most facilities in 2026. The company claims throughput gains of about one-third and network power savings of 40%.
The numbers are the kind that get noticed outside the network engineering group. A third faster, if sustained across real production workloads, changes how cloud capacity is modeled. A 40% reduction in networking electricity consumption changes how data center power budgets are argued internally. Billions in hardware savings, Amazon says. Not small money, [...]
📅 - NordLayer: 82% of IT Teams Report Web-Based Incident in 2026 - NordLayer says 82% of surveyed U.S. IT professionals reported a web-based security incident in the past year, with half describing the impact as moderate or severe. The findings put fresh numbers behind a familiar problem: corporate work has moved into SaaS tabs, remote sessions and personal devices, and attackers are already operating there at scale now.
The report is vendor research, so it needs the usual discount. NordLayer sells business network security. It has a commercial reason to make the browser look urgent. Still, the direction is hard to dismiss. The browser has become the operating layer for large parts of the enterprise, and security architecture has not caught up [...]
📅 - Schneider Electric Powers $290M TeraWulf AI Campus Buildout - Schneider Electric says it has delivered more than $290 million in AI data center infrastructure for TeraWulf's Lake Mariner campus in upstate New York, as the Google-backed site races to turn legacy industrial power assets into capacity for cloud, HPC and AI workloads using Schneider power systems and Motivair liquid cooling technology over phased deployments already underway.
The headline number is supplier revenue, but the more interesting figure may be 750 MW. That is the projected power demand when Lake Mariner is fully built out. In the current AI infrastructure market, that puts the site in the language of industrial energy planning rather than conventional colocation.
