Netskope Claims 90% Latency Cut Across Enterprise AI Traffic
📅 - Netskope says its NewEdge AI Fast Path can cut latency to AI services by as much as 90 percent, using direct peering and automated route selection across its private network. The claim puts network performance squarely inside the enterprise AI security debate, where inspection, policy enforcement and resilience increasingly collide with expectations for near immediate model responses.
For CIOs and network architects, the issue is no longer whether generative AI traffic should pass through security controls. It already does, or should. The harder question is whether those controls can remain invisible to users and autonomous software as workloads become more conversational, more [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - BlackRock Consortium Completes $40B Aligned Acquisition - A consortium led by the Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Partnership, MGX and BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners has completed its acquisition of Aligned Data Centers, valuing the data center operator at roughly $40 billion. The deal immediately reshapes ownership of one of the industry's largest AI infrastructure developers while adding fresh capital for aggressive capacity expansion across multiple strategic markets.
HostingJournalist reported in October 2025 that BlackRock's GIP was nearing this roughly $40 billion acquisition of Aligned, with MGX then identified as a potential co-investor. The completed transaction confirms those talks and brings AIP into the final [...]
📅 - Microsoft Adds AMD Helios Systems to Azure AI Infrastructure - Microsoft will deploy AMD's Helios rack scale AI systems in Azure, expanding the cloud provider's infrastructure options for production workloads. The agreement combines AMD Instinct MI455X accelerators, EPYC processors, Pensando networking and ROCm software, giving enterprise customers another architecture for training, inference, fine tuning, agentic systems and other increasingly demanding AI workloads at scale inside Microsoft's cloud.
The immediate change is broader than another accelerator option. Microsoft is taking on AMD's system level design, including compute, networking, software, power and cooling, rather than treating the GPU as an isolated purchase. For infrastructure [...]
📅 - CheapSSLWEB Launches Affordable SSL Automation Suite Ahead of 47-Day Validity Mandate - CheapSSLWEB, a provider of SSL/TLS and web security solutions, has announced a new certificate automation suite designed to address the impending reduction in SSL certificate validity periods. The CA/Browser Forum has approved a phased timeline that will reduce the maximum certificate lifespan from the current 200 days to 100 days by 2027 and ultimately to 47 days by March 2029. This shift poses significant operational challenges for organizations that rely on manual renewal processes, as the frequency of renewals will increase dramatically.
According to the company, the new automation suite leverages the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol to enable automatic issua
📅 - Iran Claims Missile Strike on AWS Bahrain Data Center Site - Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has struck Amazon Web Services infrastructure in Bahrain with cruise missiles, claiming the attack destroyed a key data center supporting the company's regional cloud operations. The allegation, if independently confirmed, would mark another escalation in the expanding role of commercial digital infrastructure as a target during interstate conflict across the Middle East amid continuing hostilities.
Whether the AWS facility has actually been destroyed remains unclear. The claim originates from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which says the strike was retaliation for recent U.S. military action against the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear [...]
📅 - Vertiv Expands Italy Cooling Capacity for AI Data Center Demand - Vertiv will expand manufacturing and testing operations at its Tognana campus in Italy, aiming to double regional chiller production by late 2026 while adding a large scale laboratory for validating AI data center cooling systems. The investment reflects mounting pressure on infrastructure suppliers as hyperscale operators race to deploy increasingly dense computing environments without compromising thermal reliability.
The attention surrounding AI infrastructure has centered largely on GPUs, networking equipment and power availability. Cooling has become equally strategic. Perhaps more so. High-density AI clusters consume more electricity, generate more heat and leave operators with far [...]
📅 - NVIDIA Vera Outruns Rival CPUs in DeepInfra AI Agent Test - DeepInfra says independent testing of NVIDIA's upcoming Vera processor showed substantially higher performance than competing server CPUs when running production AI agent workloads, adding fresh attention to an increasingly overlooked part of enterprise AI infrastructure. While GPUs dominate spending discussions, the benchmark argues CPUs remain critical for orchestrating large-scale inference systems serving billions of requests efficiently.
The AI infrastructure conversation has revolved around accelerators for the past two years. NVIDIA's GPUs, AMD's challengers, custom silicon from hyperscalers. CPUs rarely dominate headlines anymore. Yet inference platforms still rely on processors [...]
