Amazon's Texas AI Campus Brings Its Own 7.65GW Power Plant
📅 - Amazon is preparing a 7.65 gigawatt gas powered data center campus in Pecos County, Texas, pairing AI infrastructure with 35 turbines and initially operating outside the state power grid. The GW Ranch project could become the largest US natural gas power plant, while its permitted emissions expose a widening conflict between hyperscaler expansion and corporate climate commitments.
The scale deserves some context. A 7.65 GW generation complex is power station territory, not conventional backup generation for a server farm. Amazon, already one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure operators through AWS, would effectively combine computing infrastructure and industrial scale [...][...

📅 - NetApp Acquires JetStream to Expand VMware Cloud Data Protection - NetApp has acquired JetStream Software, adding VMware disaster recovery and migration technology that extends its data protection reach beyond customers already using NetApp storage. The deal gives NetApp a route into the much larger VMware installed base, while positioning cloud disaster recovery as an intermediate step for enterprises unwilling or unable to move production workloads immediately yet.
The acquisition addresses a fairly specific problem created by enterprise infrastructure reality. VMware remains embedded underneath critical applications at many large organizations, while cloud strategies rarely translate into clean, immediate migrations. Applications have dependencies. [...]
📅 - Bridge Data Centres Targets AI Power Bottlenecks With PowerCore 5.0 - Bridge Data Centres and Morong Electric have launched PowerCore 5.0, a prefabricated power module for high-density AI data centers that the companies say can cut infrastructure delivery times by more than half. Built on a 40-foot container frame, the system packages electrical, cooling, fire suppression and monitoring equipment for factory assembly, testing and deployment across international sites.
The product addresses an increasingly awkward constraint in AI infrastructure: GPUs can arrive faster than the electrical systems needed to operate them. Bridge Data Centres, or BDC, says rack densities have moved from roughly 10kW to beyond 100kW as accelerated computing has expanded. That [...]
