Hut 8 Fully Contracts 1 GW Texas AI Campus With Second Lease
📅 - Hut 8 has signed a second 15-year lease for 352 megawatts of AI data center capacity at its Beacon Point campus in Texas, doubling one tenant's commitment and fully allocating the site's one-gigawatt utility supply. The deal lifts base-term campus contract value to $19.6 billion, while concentrating execution, financing, and counterparty risk inside a single enormous project.
The transaction turns Beacon Point from a large development prospect into a fully contracted campus, at least on paper. Hut 8 says the same unnamed investment-grade tenant that took Phase 1 has now committed to another 352 MW of IT capacity, bringing its total footprint to 704 MW. The second lease carries a stated [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - nLighten and Arqit Challenge Public Cloud Sovereignty Limits - European enterprises wrestling with digital sovereignty requirements may have another option besides keeping sensitive workloads entirely on premises or committing exclusively to sovereign cloud offerings. A proof of concept completed by edge data center operator nLighten and cryptography specialist Arqit suggests regulated organizations can continue consuming hyperscale cloud services while retaining direct control over sensitive data, encryption assets, and compliance boundaries under European jurisdiction.
That proposition lands as enterprises face increasingly conflicting priorities. Artificial intelligence initiatives, cloud-native application development, and elastic infrastructure [...]
📅 - Headline Microsoft Ends SQL Server 2016 Support, Raising Enterprise Risks - Microsoft has ended extended support for SQL Server 2016, closing a decade-long lifecycle while acknowledging the database remains heavily deployed across enterprise environments. Organizations delaying migrations now face growing security exposure, difficult modernization decisions, and potential compliance headaches, with paid security updates offering only temporary relief as legacy workloads continue running despite Microsoft's upgrade recommendations taking effect.
The milestone is less about a database reaching retirement than the uncomfortable reality facing corporate IT. SQL Server 2016 still underpins countless business applications, internal reporting systems, manufacturing [...]
📅 - Aon Lifts Data Center Insurance Capacity to $5 Billion Mark - Aon has increased the insurance capacity behind its data center lifecycle program to $5 billion, widening coverage and advisory services as hyperscale construction accelerates worldwide. The expansion reflects mounting capital exposure around AI infrastructure, while highlighting insurers' growing influence over how large digital facilities are financed, engineered, and operated amid increasingly complex risk and investment cycles globally.
The latest expansion follows Aon's previous increase to $3.5 billion, reported just two months ago by HostingJournalist. Raising available capacity to $5 billion in such a short period represents a roughly 43% increase, reflecting how quickly AI [...]

📅 - Airbus Selects Scaleway for European Sovereign Cloud Hosting - Airbus has selected Scaleway to provide sovereign cloud infrastructure for sensitive enterprise and industrial workloads, adding a European controlled environment to its existing multi cloud portfolio. The contract covers applications requiring tighter governance, resilience, and legal protection, while giving the aerospace group access to AI ready capacity without relying entirely on non European providers or jurisdictions alone.
The deal gives Scaleway a high profile reference customer in one of Europe's most strategically sensitive industries. For Airbus, it creates another deployment tier rather than a wholesale cloud replacement. Workloads will still be matched to different [...]
📅 - Certera Launches ACME Certificate-as-a-Service to Help Organizations Prepare for the 47-Day SSL Certificate Era - As the SSL/TLS industry shifts toward much shorter periods of certificate validity, many companies worldwide will need to re-evaluate how they manage their digital certificates. Where once certificate management was performed once a year, it will now be performed around the clock; thus, introducing many challenges for it and security departments within organizations.
In an effort to prepare organizations to meet these changes, Certera has announced the release of the ACME Certificate-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform, a next-generation solution focused on automating the entire lifecycle of an SSL certificate, including issuing, validating, renewing, deploying, and managing the certificate.
