Cisco Adds Supermicro Systems to NVIDIA AI Infrastructure Stack
📅 - Cisco is expanding its Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA into rack-scale systems while separately launching sovereign critical infrastructure in Canada, linking two pressures reshaping enterprise infrastructure: denser AI compute and tighter control over data, operations, and vendor access. The moves extend Cisco deeper into servers, cooling, sovereign deployments, and air-gapped environments rather than networking alone for customers.
The AI infrastructure expansion brings Supermicro's high-density, air-cooled and liquid-cooled servers into Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA. Cisco will sell the compute alongside its own networking, security, management and services stack, creating NVIDIA [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - NASA Awards Infleqtion $20M for Quantum Gravity Mission - NASA has awarded Infleqtion a $20 million follow-on contract to advance the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder toward a planned 2030 low-Earth-orbit launch. The mission will test a space-based quantum gravity sensor using ultracold rubidium atoms, moving the technology from laboratory development into hardware integration, microgravity testing and eventual flight validation for Earth observation applications at operational scale.
The contract brings NASA's total investment in the program to $40 million and moves Infleqtion into a more demanding phase: building an initial sensor head, integrating electronics and proving that the hardware can survive the transition from controlled [...]
📅 - Mistral Eyes HUMAIN Data Centers for Saudi AI Deployments - Mistral AI and Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN have agreed a strategic collaboration spanning AI infrastructure, model development and regional enterprise deployments, with the companies describing the arrangement as worth hundreds of millions of euros. Mistral may use HUMAIN data centers for local compute, while both plan Arabic-focused models and sovereign AI offerings for regulated industries across Saudi Arabia.
The agreement puts physical infrastructure unusually close to the center of an AI model partnership. HUMAIN is not simply another distribution channel for Mistral software. The Saudi company is building an AI stack that includes data centers, compute, cloud services, models and [...]
📅 - Canada Backs Xanadu With CAD $195M for Quantum Manufacturing - Canada has committed CAD $195 million to Xanadu Quantum Technologies to build manufacturing capacity for photonic quantum computers, turning an earlier funding proposal into a federal agreement. The money supports a CAD $893 million project spanning chip integration, packaging, testing and module assembly, with Ottawa framing the investment as industrial policy for quantum infrastructure and data-center deployment.
For infrastructure buyers and investors, the more important part is what Canada is actually funding. Xanadu is not simply receiving research money to improve another processor design. Project OPTIMISM is intended to create manufacturing capabilities that currently do not exist [...]
📅 - Aviatrix Brings Cloud Security to Public Sector Buyers via Carahsoft Channel - Aviatrix has signed Carahsoft as its public-sector distribution aggregator, opening an established procurement route for cloud-native security software across US federal, state, local, education, and healthcare buyers. The arrangement puts Aviatrix on Carahsoft's NASPO ValuePoint channel as agencies add multicloud and AI workloads while trying to tighten egress controls, segmentation, encryption, and threat containment across distributed environments.
For government IT teams, the immediate change is commercial rather than architectural. Aviatrix already supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, AWS GovCloud and Azure Government. Carahsoft now gives agencies [...]
📅 - Tencent Cloud Wins TruKKer Logistics Platform Migration in Saudi Arabia - Tencent Cloud has won a significant Saudi workload as digital freight platform TruKKer prepares today to migrate its operations into the provider's local cloud region. The deal gives Tencent a visible enterprise customer for infrastructure launched in the Kingdom, while TruKKer adds local hosting and Tencent's CodeBuddy tooling as it scales logistics operations across the Middle East.
For Tencent, the customer win gives its Saudi cloud region something more useful than another capacity announcement: a production migration tied to a regional logistics platform. TruKKer operates a digital freight network spanning the Middle East and broader EMEA markets, matching shippers with carriers [...]
📅 - Prime Data Centers Reports Near-Zero Water Use as Portfolio Expands - Prime Data Centers says it matched its 2025 Scope 2 electricity use with renewable energy certificates while expanding climate and water disclosures across a 5.6-gigawatt portfolio. Scope 2 covers emissions tied to purchased electricity rather than fuel burned directly on site, making the claim relevant to power consumption - but not equivalent to running entirely on renewables.
That distinction is important for data centers, where electricity dominates the operating footprint.
Prime Data Centers says renewable energy certificates, or RECs, matched 100% of the electricity associated with its own Scope 2 emissions during 2025. When clean-energy purchases made by customers are added, 68% [...]
