$12.93B Hugging Face Acquisition Extends NVIDIA Beyond GPU Infrastructure
📅 - NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12.93 billion, bringing one of the largest open model platforms under the control of the dominant supplier of artificial intelligence accelerators. The transaction could reshape how developers reach models, infrastructure and inference services, while forcing cloud providers and enterprise buyers to reassess how neutral that distribution layer remains today.
Hugging Face sits at an increasingly important junction between models and the infrastructure used to evaluate, customize and deploy them. More than 18 million developers, researchers and creators use the platform, which hosts more than 3 million models, 500,000 datasets and 1 million [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - NetIX Extends Peering Reach Across Eight Russian MSK-IX Hubs - NetIX has expanded direct connectivity into Russia by linking its platform to MSK-IX across eight major metropolitan hubs, from Moscow to Vladivostok. The deployment gives NetIX members broader access to Russian networks and hosted content, while allowing MSK-IX participants to reach NetIX locally through nearby points of presence rather than relying on more centralized interconnection paths today.
The expansion covers Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Kazan, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok. For carriers, content providers, hosting companies and other networks using NetIX, the useful part is geographic reach. Traffic destined for Russian networks can be exchanged [...]
📅 - Lenovo Claims NVMe Memory Tiering Can Cut VMware Costs by 45% - Lenovo says VMware Cloud Foundation Advanced Memory Tiering on ThinkAgile VX can cut memory costs by up to 45% by using NVMe as a secondary tier alongside DRAM. The approach is aimed at private cloud operators trying to raise VM density and run larger workloads without expanding expensive memory footprints at the same rate across existing infrastructure.
The number is attention-grabbing, but it needs qualification. Lenovo's estimate is based on its own cost analysis of selected 1TB memory configurations using DRAM and NVMe against systems configured entirely with DRAM. Actual savings depend on workload and configuration. So this is not a blanket 45% reduction in VMware infrastructure [...]
📅 - HPE Data Center Networking Revenue Jumps 112% on AI Demand - HPE's data center networking revenue more than doubled in its fiscal third quarter, rising 112.2% year over year to $382 million as demand for AI infrastructure broadened beyond servers. Routing revenue surged 270% to $788 million, while server sales climbed 35.3% to $6.8 billion, underscoring how accelerated computing is reshaping infrastructure spending across enterprise infrastructure.
The networking numbers are the more revealing part of the quarter for data center operators. Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported total networking revenue of $2.9 billion, up 74.9%, with campus and branch revenue increasing 31% to $1.4 billion and security revenue rising 75.6% to $281 million. Data center [...]
📅 - OVHcloud Brings Portable Plakar Backup Into Its Public Cloud - OVHcloud is bringing Plakar's backup technology directly into its Public Cloud, giving customers a managed way to protect virtual machines, Kubernetes, databases, file systems and AI workloads while keeping control of encryption keys. The service also promises portable recovery outside OVHcloud, a design aimed at reducing operational sprawl without turning backup into another source of cloud dependence.
The integration lands in a part of cloud infrastructure that remains surprisingly fragmented. Enterprises routinely protect different workloads with different backup products, storage targets and operating procedures. That is manageable until environments spread across containers, managed [...]
📅 - Zscaler Quarterly Growth Highlights Rising Demand for AI Security - Zscaler closed fiscal 2026 with quarterly revenue up 25% to $898.2 million, while annual recurring revenue reached $3.77 billion, as the security vendor pointed to demand extending beyond employee access into workloads, branches and AI systems. The numbers strengthen its case that cloud security spending is following infrastructure deeper into distributed and machine-driven environments worldwide at scale.
That is a more useful signal for infrastructure operators than the earnings headline alone. Zscaler has traditionally been associated with securing users as they reach applications, but management now says growth is broadening beyond seat-based products. Workload connectivity, branches, [...]
