U.S. CFOs Back Tech Spending as Economic Confidence Hits Low - 📅 - Grant Thornton research says CFOs are increasing technology spending even as confidence in the U.S. economy falls to a 20-quarter low. The Q2 2026 survey finds 67% expect to raise IT and digital transformation budgets, while 68% still expect profit growth, despite inflation, tariffs, supply chain stress, and weaker confidence in cost control across companies this year.
That is the uncomfortable signal in the data. Finance chiefs are worried about the economy, but they are not freezing technology budgets. Not yet. They are spending into uncertainty, partly because the alternative looks worse: aging systems, weak automation, slower decision-making, and competitors using AI to cut costs or [...]

Deloitte Opens London AI Studio With Google Cloud - 📅 - Deloitte has launched an AI Studio in London with Google Cloud, aiming to help UK organizations move agentic AI projects from prototypes into production. The facility, opening in late July, will support clients in public services, finance, retail, healthcare, life sciences, and TMT, while Deloitte trains 1,000 UK AI and data specialists on Gemini Enterprise.The announcement lands in a market that has started to tire of AI demos. Enterprises have spent the past two years testing copilots, chat interfaces, internal search tools, and productivity assistants. Useful in places. Underwhelming in others. Agentic AI is being sold as the next stage: systems that do not merely answer questions but [...]
Cisco Research Finds AI Is Straining Enterprise Networks - 📅 - New Cisco and Foundry research says AI adoption is already stressing campus and branch networks, with 73% of organizations facing or expecting capacity constraints within two years. The survey of 3,400-plus IT and networking leaders points to surging traffic, wider security exposure, and visibility gaps as agentic, generative, and physical AI move into enterprise operations at scale.
The useful part of the research is not the vendor framing. Cisco sells networking gear, security software, observability tools, and management platforms. It has an obvious interest in making the network look central to AI adoption.
Still, the numbers are difficult to ignore.
Organizations reported network [...]

AI Servers Redraw Data Center Spending, IDC Data Shows - 📅 - IDC says worldwide server revenue reached $122.6 billion in the first quarter of 2026, rising 30.4% year over year, as AI infrastructure spending recast the market around accelerators, non-x86 systems, and constrained memory supply, while traditional server demand remained healthy but increasingly dependent on components vendors could not deliver fast enough for buyers globally during the quarter.
The server market is not simply growing. It is being rearranged.
For two decades, enterprise infrastructure buyers could mostly think in x86 refresh cycles, vendor discounts, virtualization density, and predictable procurement windows. That world is still there. Sort of. But IDC's first-quarter [...]

AWS Puts Fault-Tolerant Quantum on Cloud Roadmap With QuEra - 📅 - QuEra Computing's first fault-tolerant quantum machine, Libra, will reach Amazon Braket in 2028, giving AWS customers cloud access to a neutral-atom system designed for roughly one million reliable logical quantum operations, more than 256 error-corrected logical qubits, and a stated logical error rate of 10^-6, if the roadmap actually holds as promised commercially too, broadly.For enterprises, this is not yet a procurement event. It is a planning problem. Libra will not arrive as another experimental quantum device for short demonstrations and grant-funded curiosity. QuEra and AWS are describing something closer to infrastructure: a fault-tolerant processor exposed through a cloud [...]
Equinix Takes AI Factories Into Global Colocation - 📅 - Equinix is expanding work with Cisco and NVIDIA to deploy Cisco Secure AI Factory designs across its global colocation footprint, adding Presidio's P.A.T.H. Lab as a proving ground for enterprises that want production-grade AI infrastructure tested inside real data center environments before committing to broader rollouts across hybrid, cloud, neocloud, on-premises and colocated estates globally.The move says something about where enterprise AI has landed after the first rush of pilots. The bottleneck is no longer only model access. It is infrastructure confidence. Can the customer run the workload near the right data? Can it keep control? Can the network handle it? Is the cooling there? [...]
HPE Makes Networking The Control Layer For AI Factories - 📅 - HPE used its Discover conference in Las Vegas to widen its AI infrastructure story, adding self-driving networking, Juniper switching, unified SASE, NVIDIA-backed agentic AI controls and new private cloud capabilities as the company tries to turn AI factories from engineered projects into repeatable operating environments for enterprises, data center teams and regulated buyers at scale.
The message is broad enough to feel almost overstuffed. Networking, security, AI factories, private cloud, GreenLake, sovereign deployments, Vera CPUs, Aruba Central, Mist, Marvis, Zerto, Alletra, Morpheus, OpsRamp. Plenty of product surface area.
Underneath it, though, sits a clearer infrastructure [...]

Copia Raises $26M For Industrial Code Resilience Tools - 📅 - Copia Automation has raised $26 million to expand its industrial code management and recovery platform, taking total funding to $55 million, as manufacturers, utilities and critical infrastructure operators confront a basic problem in operational technology: the code running physical systems often lacks the backup, version control and recovery discipline long standard in enterprise IT environments.
The round was co-led by AE Ventures and Squadra Ventures, with KAS Venture Partners joining and Construct Capital, Lux Capital, Ironspring Ventures and Renegade Partners returning. The financing includes equity and venture debt. That mix says something. Growth capital, but with a [...]

Rackspace Turns AMD Alliance Into 30 MW AI Deployment - 📅 - Rackspace has moved its AMD enterprise AI partnership from memorandum to deployment plan, signing a definitive agreement for an initial 30 MW of AMD-based compute across its global data center footprint from late 2026 through 2028, as cloud providers race to turn AI ambitions into governed infrastructure enterprises might actually trust and buy.The important part is not just the 30 MW figure. It is the move from intent to committed deployment. At least on paper.
The agreement operationalizes the memorandum of understanding announced in May and places AMD deeper inside Rackspace's managed AI proposition, with Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs becoming part of what Rackspace calls a governed AI [...]
SpaceX To Acquire Cursor In $60 Billion AI Coding Deal - 📅 - SpaceX is moving ahead with a $60 billion stock-based acquisition of Anysphere, maker of the Cursor AI coding tool, according to a Tuesday regulatory filing, in a deal that would pull one of software development's fastest-growing AI products into Elon Musk's expanding compute, space and artificial intelligence empire by the third quarter of 2026.
The transaction is large enough to make people stop arguing about whether AI coding tools are merely developer productivity software. At this price, Cursor is being treated as distribution, workflow control and strategic leverage. Maybe even as a beachhead into enterprise software engineering budgets that have been moving faster than many chief [...]
