Aug, 2026 : Gartner Sees AI-Optimized IaaS Spending Jump 96% in 2026
📅 - Gartner expects global spending on AI-optimized infrastructure as a service to nearly double in 2026, reaching $42.3 billion as enterprises move more AI workloads into production. The bigger shift is inside that total: inference spending is forecast to overtake training, changing how cloud providers, infrastructure buyers, and enterprise architects think about capacity, cost, and utilization at scale.
In Gartner's framing, AI-optimized IaaS means cloud infrastructure consumed as a service rather than owned directly by the customer, with the infrastructure tuned for AI workloads. In practice, that generally means accelerator-based compute - GPUs or other AI processors - alongside the [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - 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 [...]
📅 - 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 [...]
📅 - 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 [...]
📅 - BOXABL Unveils Modular AI Server Pod Concept - BOXABL has introduced a factory-built Server Pod concept aimed at data center developers facing rising construction costs, labor constraints and waits for grid power. The company is not manufacturing units yet. Instead, it is using the design study to test whether its assembly-line construction model can translate from housing into AI and cloud infrastructure projects at scale.
That qualification matters because the idea arrives at a point when data center developers are looking for almost anything that can compress deployment schedules. JLL expects roughly 100 GW of new capacity to come online between 2026 and 2030, with as much as $3 trillion in total investment required across real [...]
📅 - How to Set Up RAID on a Bare Metal Server: Hardware vs. Software RAID (2026 Guide) - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASELONDON, UK – eServers, a premier provider of enterprise bare metal infrastructure and high-performance hosting in the United Kingdom, has published a comprehensive technical guide titled "How to Set Up RAID on a Bare Metal Server: Hardware vs. Software RAID (2026 Guide)." The step-by-step tutorial is specifically designed to assist systems administrators, DevOps engineers, and IT leaders in optimizing storage performance and data redundancy.
In the 2026 enterprise IT landscape, data integrity and system uptime are non-negotiable. When deploying physical server infrastructure, configuring a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
📅 - How to Get True 10Gbps Speed from Your Linux Dedicated Server - If you have recently upgraded your bare-metal dedicated server to a 10Gbps network port, you might be frustrated to see your actual transfer speeds stuck around 2 Gbps or 3 Gbps.
Having a 10Gbps port does not automatically guarantee 10Gbps of real-world throughput. At Servers99, we frequently help clients optimize their infrastructure. Here is a text-based checklist of what you need to tune on a Linux server to unlock your full bandwidth.
1. Verify Your Physical Link First Before you change any Linux network settings, you must verify your hardware. Use network diagnostic tools like ethtool to check your negotiated link speed. If your server reports a 1000Mb/s speed, you have a physical lay
