DOE Turns Kentucky Site Into $100B AI Data Center Energy Hub
📅 - The US Department of Energy has unveiled plans to convert part of its Paducah, Kentucky, site into a large-scale data center campus, backing a project officials value at more than $100 billion in private investment. Construction is expected through 2031, pending regulatory approvals, with AI infrastructure, dedicated power generation, and grid upgrades forming the centerpiece of the development.
Artificial intelligence is steadily redrawing the map of US infrastructure investment. Paducah now joins a growing list of locations where power availability, rather than metropolitan proximity, determines where hyperscale computing capacity gets built. The Department of Energy is effectively [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - ThreatLocker Lands $190M to Expand Zero Trust Security Platform - ThreatLocker has raised $190 million in Series F financing as investors continue directing capital toward cybersecurity vendors promising to contain AI-driven risks before malicious software reaches enterprise environments. The funding gives the Zero Trust specialist additional resources to expand internationally, develop its security platform, and compete as prevention-based security regains attention among large organizations evaluating long-term cyber resilience.
Cybersecurity spending has remained relatively resilient despite tighter enterprise technology budgets, but buyers have become increasingly selective. Boards are demanding measurable reductions in operational risk rather than [...]
📅 - Park Place Broadens Global Support for AI-Accelerated Servers - Park Place Technologies is widening its third-party maintenance business into GPU-powered servers, targeting one of the fastest-growing segments of enterprise infrastructure as organizations struggle to keep AI platforms running after deployment. The move extends independent support beyond conventional hardware, reflecting growing demand for operational flexibility as GPU clusters become expensive, business-critical assets across global enterprise environments.
Enterprises have spent the past two years racing to secure AI hardware. Buying systems turned out to be only part of the problem. Keeping dense GPU infrastructure operational, cooling it effectively, coordinating firmware updates, [...]
📅 - Domains.co.za Launches Self-Hosted N8n VPS Hosting To Help South African Businesses Automate - South African businesses are increasingly turning to automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and stay competitive. However, many are also looking for solutions that offer greater control over their data, predictable pricing, and the flexibility to scale as their businesses grow.
To meet this demand, Domains.co.za has launched Self-Hosted n8n VPS Hosting, a locally hosted solution that enables businesses to build, manage, and scale automated workflows and AI-powered processes on dedicated Virtual Private Server (VPS) infrastructure.
The solution comes with n8n, the popular open-source workflow automation platform, pre-installed, allowing
📅 - S&P Global Buys datacenterHawk to Expand Data Center Insight - S&P Global has agreed to acquire data center intelligence provider datacenterHawk in a deal whose price was not disclosed, adding granular facility, pricing, pipeline, fiber and site-selection data to its energy and technology research operations. The transaction, due to close in the second half of 2026, targets investors and operators navigating increasingly constrained AI infrastructure markets worldwide.
The target is not large in conventional corporate terms. LinkedIn places datacenterHawk in the 11-to-50 employee bracket, while PitchBook reports a workforce of 47. Its reach is wider than that headcount suggests. Industry directory material says the company tracks more than 400 data [...]
📅 - Netskope Finds AI Risk Moving Into Enterprise Architecture - Netskope says enterprise AI security has moved beyond employee misuse into a more dangerous phase shaped by connected agents, automated coding tools, and bidirectional data flows. Its latest report, covering June 2025 through July 2026, finds rapid adoption of MCP, Claude Code, and Codex is creating fresh execution, access-control, and software supply-chain risks for large organizations worldwide.
The old security problem was relatively legible. Employees copied source code, contracts, customer records, or regulated data into public chatbots, often without approval. Security teams responded with discovery tools, access controls, and policies designed to contain shadow AI. That problem [...]
📅 - A Blueprint for Provisioning and Lifecycle Management - Bare metal servers remain the critical foundation for workloads that demand predictable performance, strict hardware isolation, and zero-overhead compute power. In 2026, as enterprise AI platforms, high-performance computing (HPC), and distributed edge networks rapidly scale, the reliance on dedicated physical infrastructure has surged. However, operating physical servers at this scale exposes a major bottleneck: manual hardware management. Provisioning, configuring, updating, and retiring physical servers through manual intervention introduces configuration drift, slows deployment pipelines, and creates significant auditing gaps. Bare metal automation solves these op
