QScale Starts C$700M AI Data Center Expansion in Quebec City
📅 - QScale has started construction on a second building at its Q01 campus in Lévis, Quebec, a C$700 million expansion designed to add 60 MW of IT capacity for AI and high-performance computing workloads, as infrastructure buyers look for dense, liquid-cooled space tied to renewable power and domestic data governance under Canadian law for sensitive enterprise systems.
The build is not just another data hall going vertical. Q01 Building B is being framed as a facility capable of handling accelerated computing systems in the NVIDIA GB300 class, with support for liquid-cooled racks at 600 kW or more per cabinet. That is a very different engineering problem from the 10 kW, 20 kW, even 80 kW rack [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - DayOne Raises $4.5B For AI Data Center Expansion Plan - DayOne Data Centers has closed a $4.5 billion Series C, giving the Singapore-based data center developer fresh equity for an expansion across Asia and Europe as hyperscalers hunt for AI capacity. Existing backers Coatue and Hillhouse led the round, joined by Indonesia Investment Authority and Achi Capital Partners, with more financing likely ahead as demand rises again.
The number is large enough to say something about where the data center market now sits. Not in a normal real estate cycle. Not even in a conventional cloud infrastructure cycle. AI has turned capacity into a financial product, an energy negotiation, a land question, and a sovereignty problem all at once.
DayOne says it [...]
📅 - Cloudflare Acquires VoidZero as AI Coding Reshapes Web Tooling - Cloudflare has acquired VoidZero, steward of Vite and related JavaScript tooling, in a deal that pulls one of the web's busiest build ecosystems closer to its Workers platform as AI coding agents change how software is generated, tested and deployed. Terms were not disclosed, and open source neutrality is now the central governance question for developers globally.
The acquisition lands in a sensitive place. Not the infrastructure layer most CIOs budget for directly. Not the cloud region, not the database contract, not the CDN invoice. The build layer. The place developers touch first and procurement often notices late.
VoidZero's portfolio includes Vite, the build tool used across large [...]
📅 - DE-CIX Boosts Mexico-Dallas Capacity Ahead of World Cup - DE-CIX has upgraded connectivity between Mexico and Dallas as networks prepare for heavy FIFA World Cup streaming traffic, after its Mexico exchange posted more than 400% traffic growth since early 2026 and peak usage near 300 Gbit/s, highlighting how live sports, gaming, enterprise workloads and cloud demand are reshaping cross-border internet infrastructure in North America now, quickly.
The upgrade is live. It connects DE-CIX's Mexico footprint more tightly with Dallas, one of the more important interconnection markets in the United States. The stated trigger was demand from Mexico-based networks looking for simpler routes into international data paths.
There is a World Cup angle, [...]
📅 - Gartner Warns CISOs of Four Cyber Threats Redrawing Enterprise Risk - Gartner is warning security chiefs that four threat categories - deepfakes, compromised AI applications, prompt injection and software supply chain attacks - now deserve urgent attention because attackers are moving faster than most corporate defenses can adapt, especially as generative AI systems rapidly spread from pilot projects into production workflows, employee tools and customer-facing services at scale.
The message is blunt enough, though not especially surprising. Enterprises spent the last 18 months wiring generative AI into software development, customer support, internal search, recruitment, analytics, sales enablement and executive workflows. Many did it before security teams [...]
📅 - IBM Commits $10B to Fault-Tolerant Quantum Roadmap - IBM said it will spend more than $10 billion on quantum computing over five years, extending a program that already spans cloud-access machines, on-premises systems, software, research partnerships and manufacturing. The company is now tying that spending to a 2029 fault-tolerant computer, Starling, while trying to keep enterprises engaged before useful quantum work is routine.
The figure is meant to be noticed in Washington, in corporate labs, and among buyers who have watched quantum computing move through a long cycle of scientific promise, vendor roadmaps and careful pilot projects. It also raises a harder question. What exactly is IBM asking the market to believe between now and [...]
📅 - Digital Realty Claims Greener Growth Amid AI Power Demand - Data center company Digital Realty says it now covers 93 percent of its global power consumption with renewable energy, a sharp rise for one of the world's largest colocation landlords as AI demand increases scrutiny of data center expansion. The company's 2025 Impact Report also claims progress on water, cooling, construction standards, and energy disclosure across its portfolio globally.
The figures land in an awkward moment for the sector. Data centers are no longer background infrastructure. They are visible load. Political load. Grid load. In some markets, they are becoming the reason utility planners rewrite demand curves and local officials start asking whether "digital economy" [...]
