Buildots Raises $130M to Speed Data Center Project Delivery
📅 - Buildots has raised $130 million to expand its construction intelligence platform as data center developers face tighter schedules, larger projects and mounting execution risk. The round brings total funding to $297 million, while the company says its software is already used by more than 100 large organizations, including Digital Realty, Intel, hyperscalers and major contractors worldwide today.
For hosting providers and data center operators, the financing is relevant because construction execution is becoming part of the capacity problem. Securing land and power is only useful if electrical, mechanical and structural work reaches commissioning on schedule. As AI infrastructure [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - AirJoule Technologies Acquires BitSink for AI Data Center Cooling - AirJoule Technologies has acquired BitSink for $27 million upfront, adding liquid cooling, power distribution and rack infrastructure to a business previously centered on extracting water from air. The deal gives AirJoule Technologies a profitable foothold in AI and HPC data centers, where rising rack densities are making cooling, electrical capacity and water increasingly interdependent infrastructure constraints today.
For data center operators, the acquisition is more interesting than the usual adjacent-market transaction. AirJoule Technologies is effectively assembling several pieces of the physical infrastructure problem under one roof: water production, liquid cooling, electrical [...]
📅 - Fortaegis Raises $50M as Security Moves Into Server Hardware - Fortaegis Technologies has raised $50 million in an oversubscribed Series A led by Serendipity Capital, funding FPGA production, an ASIC roadmap and international expansion. For hosting providers, cloud operators and data center infrastructure buyers, the larger question is whether security controls now moving into silicon will become another hardware requirement alongside performance, power efficiency and network architecture.
That makes the financing relevant to infrastructure operators. Fortaegis Technologies is developing a Secure Compute architecture that places identity, policy enforcement and cryptographic functions closer to the hardware layer, spanning silicon, firmware and [...]
📅 - IONOS Cuts 450 Jobs, Reinvests Savings in Cloud and AI Plans - IONOS is preparing to cut roughly 450 full time jobs, about 12 percent of its workforce, while redirecting expected savings toward cloud expansion and artificial intelligence products. The hosting group says the restructuring will trim annual costs by as much as €30 million from 2027, even as revenue growth accelerates and customer numbers continue rising across Europe.
The planned reduction takes IONOS from around 3,800 full time employees to approximately 3,350, with the impact split roughly evenly between German and international operations. Most departures are expected to come through voluntary programs negotiated with employee representatives, making the eventual timing less certain [...]
📅 - Digital Realty Enters Türkiye Through Rönesans Infrastructure Joint Venture - Digital Realty is entering Türkiye through a joint venture with Rönesans Infrastructure, starting with a carrier neutral Ankara campus designed for more than 22 MW of IT capacity. The move extends PlatformDIGITAL into a market linking Europe, the Middle East and Asia, while giving cloud, network and enterprise customers another regional option for infrastructure deployment and interconnection growth.
The Ankara project is the immediate test. Digital Realty and Rönesans Infrastructure say land, power and permitting have already been secured, with early construction underway and completion targeted for 2028. The facility is intended to serve national enterprises, public sector organizations [...]
