Japan Outlines $140B AI Data Center Expansion With Dell Technologies and JERA
📅 - JERA, Dell Technologies and RHAELM have agreed to develop a $15 billion AI data center project near Tokyo, Japan, anchoring a broader expansion that the Financial Times estimates could reach $140 billion. The planned Chiba facility would draw power directly from existing generation, giving Japan a route around grid connection delays while tying computing growth to gas supplies.
For infrastructure buyers, the attraction is a potentially shorter wait for usable electricity. Chiba would sit beside JERA's operating thermal power station, with capacity of up to 400 megawatts. The partners intend to coordinate generation, cooling, electrical systems and computing equipment through a repeatable [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Tencent Rents Oracle Chips in Reported $7 Billion Cloud Deal - Tencent has agreed to rent roughly 100,000 advanced AI chips from Oracle through a fivarrangement in Southeast Asia, the Financial Times reported. Valued at about $7 billion, the deal gives the Chinese technology group access to scarce computing capacity abroad, with a substantial upfront payment and a lengthy commitment to an external infrastructure provider overseas.
For enterprise buyers, the significant development is the geography of computing access. Tencent can secure overseas capacity that is unavailable domestically, rather than wait for local supply to meet its requirements. That changes the procurement calculation. Hardware availability, the location of workloads and dependence [...]
📅 - Cloudflare Launches Basin, an Open Data Platform for Developers - Cloudflare made its Basin analytics platform generally available on October 1, combining data ingestion, table management and SQL queries around Apache Iceberg and its R2 storage service. The launch gives enterprise buyers another way to separate analytical data from computing tools, with no R2 egress fees, while leaving important governance capabilities on the development roadmap for now.
For infrastructure buyers, the commercial issue is the cost of changing tools after the data has accumulated. Basin stores analytical tables in Apache Iceberg, allowing compatible engines to work against them. Cloudflare handles the infrastructure on demand. That could make experimenting with another [...]
📅 - Thales Adds AI Agent Security Controls to Google Cloud - Thales has expanded its work with Google Cloud to secure AI agents moving between users, models, data and tools. Its AI Security Fabric is being integrated with Gemini Enterprise as companies give agents access to systems. Yet the detail is uneven: protection covers traffic entering agents, while broader inspection of model and tool interactions needs availability dates.
An agent answering questions is one security problem. An agent able to retrieve confidential records, call an application programming interface and act on the result is another. Thales says its integration is intended to let enterprises monitor those interactions, restrict access and block actions that breach policy. For [...]
📅 - doxx.net Raises $38 Million for AI Agent Networking Controls - doxx.net has raised $38 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz and opened a private networking platform that lets AI agents configure connections, lease IP addresses and manage firewall settings. For cloud operators and enterprise developers, the launch introduces another way to automate network operations, while raising questions about permissions, oversight and readiness for production.
The operational issue is straightforward: an agent that can change connectivity can also disrupt it. Automating a firewall adjustment might save an administrator several steps. An incorrect adjustment could expose a service or disconnect a workload. Providers evaluating the platform [...]
