Netskope Adds Controls for AI Agents Changing Cloud Infrastructure
📅 - Netskope has introduced controls designed to stop risky AI agent actions before execution, targeting a growing enterprise problem as autonomous software gains permission to change code, provision infrastructure, handle credentials and communicate externally. The security vendor says the capability classifies attempted actions by risk and can block them before they reach production systems or other connected resources.
The immediate relevance is less about another artificial intelligence security product and more about where enterprise automation is heading. Agents are moving beyond generating text or assisting developers. Some can now call tools, alter repositories, change configurations, [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - AWS Reports Data Loss After Iran War Data Center Damage - AWS says parts of its Gulf cloud footprint cannot be recovered more than six months after Iranian drone and missile strikes damaged facilities in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, leaving some customer resources inaccessible and raising uncomfortable questions about how hyperscale cloud resilience holds up when physical infrastructure itself becomes a direct wartime target.
The technical failure is narrower than a regional cloud collapse, but the commercial implications are broader. In Bahrain, damage crossed multiple availability zones and exceeded the level Amazon Web Services says its regional and multiple zone architecture was designed to withstand. Customers that had not already [...]
📅 - team.blue Cuts Carbon Footprint as AI Infrastructure Expands - team.blue says it has cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions 47 percent from its 2022 baseline while expanding AI infrastructure across its European hosting portfolio. The group has also moved Turkish workloads into a fully renewable powered data center, highlighting a harder question for hosting operators – whether efficiency gains can keep pace with rising compute demand.
The numbers are substantial enough to merit attention. Scope 3 emissions are down 25 percent in absolute terms and 68 percent by intensity, while team.blue says renewable energy now accounts for 94 percent of its overall energy use. Some 88 percent of its hosting brands are verified by the Green Web Foundation, up from 71 percent [...]
As renewed calls for clear AI policy grow, a survey from web hosting provider 20i reveals that 84% of the web industry believes AI needs government regulation, amid the absence of comprehensive federal legislation in the U.S.
Support for regulation was high across all roles, from 83% of web designers to 88% of copywriters, indicating widespread agreement across the web sector and highlighting the industry’s recognition of AI as a time-sensitive issue requiring oversight.
As new warnings about AI safety continue to emerge, and as use becomes commonplace, more than half (56%) worry about ethical misuse. Despite co
📅 - Micron 512GB DDR5 Could Put 12TB of Memory in One Server - Micron has demonstrated a 512GB DDR5 server memory module capable of putting as much as 12TB of DRAM into a 24-slot dual-socket system, targeting data centers wrestling with denser AI, analytics and database workloads. The module is rated for speeds up to 9,200 MT/s and is being validated by AMD and Intel for next-generation server deployments now.
The capacity figure is the headline, but the more useful question for infrastructure operators is what it does to server consolidation. Packing more memory into the same socket and DIMM footprint can let enterprises keep larger datasets resident in DRAM, reduce trips to slower storage tiers and potentially run more virtual machines or [...]
📅 - IBM-Backed Anderon Wins $1B CHIPS Award for Quantum Wafer Manufacturing - Anderon, an IBM company, has finalized a $1 billion CHIPS and Science Act award with the U.S. Department of Commerce to expand quantum wafer manufacturing in Albany, New York, while IBM is committing another $1 billion. The 300-millimeter foundry is already processing its first quantum wafers, marking a concrete step toward industrializing a supply chain still dominated by specialized research. The federal money is aimed at research and development around domestic quantum wafer manufacturing, not construction of a conventional high-volume logic fab. Still, the scale of the funding is difficult to ignore. Anderon is being positioned as a pure-play manufacturing operation that can fabricate [...]
📅 - Apple Eyes Server Return With M8 Ultra AI Systems - Apple is developing an enterprise AI server built around its planned M8 Ultra processors and is considering NVIDIA's NVLink Fusion interconnect technology, according to a report by The Information. The system, targeted for 2029, would mark Apple's first commercial server hardware since Xserve disappeared in 2011 and could initially come in configurations using two or four M8 Ultra chips total.
The project would take Apple's custom silicon strategy somewhere materially different. Its M series processors have so far been associated mainly with Macs and internal infrastructure, including Apple's Private Cloud Compute systems. Selling rack mounted hardware to AI developers, enterprises and [...]
