Nov, 2026 : Vertiv Introduces Outdoor UPS for AI Data Centers
📅 - Vertiv introduced an outdoor power protection system Thursday for AI data centers that need to fit more computing equipment into their buildings and manage sharp swings in electricity demand. The company says the system could help operators connect to the grid sooner, a claim whose value will depend on what utilities accept. Shipments are expected in mid-2027.
The PowerNexus MV UPS puts an uninterruptible power supply and equipment for smoothing changes in demand on a single outdoor skid near the utility connection. Moving that equipment out of the building can give a colocation operator more room for racks it can lease. How much of that space becomes sellable depends on whether the site [...][...

📅 - Supermicro Adds Shared Flash Cache for AI Inference Clusters - Supermicro, IBM, and NVIDIA have launched a shared flash storage system that lets GPU servers reuse work from earlier AI requests across a cluster. The companies report up to 56 times faster time to first token in a test with a 130,000 token prompt and a 120 billion parameter model, compared with running without a KV cache.
For a GPU cloud operator, the buying question is how much accelerator time a storage rack can save. Inference starts with the model processing its input before it produces an answer. A key value cache holds intermediate results from that first step. If a later request begins with the same sequence of tokens, the server can reuse that work and process the rest of the [...]
📅 - ALSO and Intermedia Form U.S. Cloud Marketplace for MSPs - ALSO is taking a majority stake in a U.S. cloud distribution venture with Intermedia, pairing its marketplace with the California company's Microsoft cloud business and customer relationships. The venture gives ALSO a larger foothold in the United States. For resellers, the practical question is how much of their existing Microsoft cloud business they can run through it.
ALSO started its own U.S. cloud operations in February 2025. The joint venture gives it an established sales operation and customer base to build on. ALSO will own 51% and contribute its cloud marketplace, while Intermedia will own 49% and contribute its Microsoft cloud business and associated sales resources. Intermedia [...]
📅 - 89% of UK IT Respondents Report Higher Data Center Costs - Data center infrastructure costs rose for 89% of UK IT decision makers surveyed for 11:11 Systems, with an average increase of 14% over the past year. The findings put disaster recovery in the same budget discussion as hardware and virtualization, as businesses weigh how much they can save by switching platforms without making systems harder to restore.
The average gives procurement teams a starting point. It could be well below what some face at renewal. Fifteen percent of UK respondents reported increases above 25%, while 37% identified rising storage or memory costs as a concern for data center strategy. The UK results cover 163 people involved in infrastructure, security, backup, or [...]
📅 - IONOS Adds 370,000 Customers as It Prepares to Cut Costs - IONOS added about 370,000 customers in the first nine months of 2026 and lifted revenue 7.6% to €1.05 billion as the hosting provider prepares to cut costs and redirect some of the savings into cloud expansion and artificial intelligence products. The company ended September with 7 million customers and kept its annual adjusted earnings forecast in place.
That is a much bigger intake than the 210,000 customers IONOS added in the same period last year. For a hosting provider, those relationships offer a way to sell additional services without having to acquire a customer from scratch. A small business that buys a domain or hosts a website, though, may have little reason to move an [...]
