Qunnect Lands DARPA Contract to Advance Quantum Fiber Networks
📅 - DARPA, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has awarded Qunnect a contract to improve the polarization compensation technology inside its Carina quantum networking system, targeting a persistent obstacle for entanglement distribution over telecom fiber. The work centers on making quantum links more reliable outside laboratories, as governments and carriers begin testing whether quantum networks can operate on infrastructure already buried under cities today.
Qunnect says Carina is already anchoring operational quantum networks in New York, Bozeman, Berlin and Albuquerque. That deployment footprint is more consequential than the contract value, which the company did not [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Cologix Posts Efficiency Gains Across 45+ Data Centers - Cologix says 67% of the electricity supporting its North American data center portfolio was carbon free in 2025, while average PUE held at 1.42 and water usage reached 0.157 liters per kilowatt-hour. The figures arrive as the operator expands infrastructure for AI, cloud, and interconnection workloads across key markets, putting efficiency claims under growing commercial and regulatory scrutiny.
Those numbers are more useful to infrastructure buyers than the broader ESG language surrounding them. Power availability has become one of the defining constraints on data center growth, particularly for AI deployments, and operators are increasingly being judged not only on how many megawatts [...]
📅 - Title: Why Shared Hosting is a Compliance Nightmare for CCPA & GDPR - Imagine your company getting hit with a massive compliance fine just because the shared server hosting your database got compromised. In 2026, dealing with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a harsh reality for any business handling user data.
Whether you are hosting an e-commerce platform or a healthcare SaaS, relying on standard public cloud platforms or cheap shared servers is no longer a risk worth taking.
The Heavy Cost of Non-Compliance Privacy fines compound exponentially during a single data breach:
CCPA: Up to $7,500 per intentional violation. The CPRA amendments eliminated the 30-day "right to cure," me
📅 - Relativity Networks Raises $22M, Secures $40M Hyperscaler Order - Relativity Networks has raised $22 million and secured a $40 million follow-on order from an unnamed hyperscaler after testing its hollow-core fiber between two data centers. The company says its ChronoCore technology can cut propagation delay enough to let AI infrastructure spread farther from constrained power hubs, turning network latency into a data center siting variable today.
That is the more interesting part of the announcement. The financing matters, but AI infrastructure operators are increasingly running into a less negotiable constraint than GPU supply: electricity. When adequate power cannot be found beside an existing hyperscale campus, compute has to move. Once it moves far [...]
📅 - Rillet Secures $100M at $1B Valuation to Scale AI ERP Platform - Rillet has raised $100 million in Series C funding at a $1 billion valuation as it scales an AI-native ERP platform designed to place software agents directly inside financial workflows. The round, led by ICONIQ, brings total funding above $200 million and gives the company capital to challenge established enterprise systems from Oracle, SAP, Workday, and NetSuite.
The financing is Rillet's third round in a year, an unusually rapid funding cadence even by enterprise software standards. The company says new annual recurring revenue doubled during the past three months and its customer base has passed 600 organizations. It has not disclosed total ARR, revenue, profitability, retention, or [...]
