QumulusAI Lands $124M for Blackwell AI Inference Cloud Deals - 📅 - QumulusAI says it has signed more than $124 million in three-year GPU-as-a-service subscriptions, a midmarket AI infrastructure win tied to 1,280 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. The contracts, including nearly $21.9 million upfront, put fresh numbers around a less glamorous but increasingly decisive market: production inference, where cost per request matters as much as raw accelerator access globally now.
The company named Hyperbolic as one of the customers. The second was described only as another leading AI inference platform. That is not unusual in this part of the infrastructure market. It is also inconvenient, because customer concentration and contract quality matter when the assets [...]

US Data Center Tax Breaks At Risk as AI Strains Grids, Budgets - 📅 - US State tax breaks that helped turn data centers into one of America's hottest infrastructure categories are coming under pressure as lawmakers question whether subsidies built for early cloud projects still make sense in an AI market consuming more power, land, water, and political goodwill than many communities expected when those incentives were written into law during cloud cycles.
The fight is no longer limited to one angry county board meeting or one proposed transmission corridor. It has moved into state budgets.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has moved to halt data center tax breaks. Minnesota ended incentives last year. Washington State is set to let its program expire on July [...]

Vertiv Adds ThermoKey After April Liquid Cooling Acquisition - 📅 - Vertiv has completed its acquisition of ThermoKey, the Italian heat-rejection specialist, adding manufacturing depth in Europe after buying Strategic Thermal Labs in April for liquid-cooling engineering. The sequence gives Vertiv more control over the AI data center cooling chain, from chip-level heat capture to facility-scale rejection, as density, permitting, and power constraints worsen globally across key markets.
Financial terms were not disclosed. ThermoKey, founded in 1991, makes heat exchangers, dry coolers, and related heat-rejection systems. Its operations in Rivarotta, Italy, will continue as a manufacturing, engineering, and support hub, according to Vertiv. Giuseppe [...]

Take Control of Your Live Streams: Set Up a Free RTMP Server - 📅 - Relying on third-party platforms for live broadcasting often means dealing with strict limitations, unexpected costs, and a lack of control over your data. By setting up your own Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) server on a dedicated server, you bypass these restrictions entirely. Our latest guide at iDatam walks you through how to build a free RTMP server using NGINX in just seven straightforward steps.Why Build Your Own RTMP Server?
Total Ownership: You own the stream and the data. No ...
Comprehensive Guide: Diagnosing and Fixing Dedicated Server Performance Issues - 📅 - A dedicated server is the backbone of your digital operations. However, even the most robust servers can experience performance degradation over time. If your applications are lagging and load times are increasing, it is time to investigate. Our comprehensive guide on iDatam breaks down the root causes of server slowdowns and provides tips to restore peak performance.1. Software Inefficiencies & Bottlenecks
Often, the hardware is fine, but the software is poorly optimized.

Zscaler Report Finds AI Is Rewriting Phishing Economics - 📅 - Zscaler says phishing volumes fell for a second straight year, but its 2026 ThreatLabz report argues attackers are becoming more efficient, using AI-generated sites, encrypted delivery and session hijacking kits to improve initial access campaigns while probing enterprise identity and collaboration systems before compromise. The finding complicates how security teams read declining attack counts today, globally, materially.
A 20% year-over-year drop in phishing volume would normally sound like progress. It may still be progress in some places. But Zscaler's reading is less comfortable: attackers are sending fewer crude lures and spending more effort on attacks that look cleaner, move [...]

RETN Adds Miami and Ashburn PoPs to Serve East Coast Traffic - 📅 - RETN has launched two U.S. points of presence in Miami and Ashburn, adding capacity at Equinix MI1 and Equinix DC10 as the independent network provider looks to serve media platforms, CDNs, ISPs and enterprises needing lower-latency access to East Coast peering hubs and Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity options in a crowded connectivity market this year.The move is modest in footprint but not meaningless. Miami and Ashburn sit in very different parts of the traffic map, and both matter for buyers trying to manage performance, cost and reach without handing every connectivity decision to a hyperscaler or incumbent carrier.
Ashburn is the obvious one. Northern Virginia remains one of the [...]
OVHcloud Moves to Acquire Gladia as Voice AI Turns Strategic - 📅 - OVHcloud has entered exclusive talks to acquire Paris-based Gladia, a voice AI specialist whose speech-to-text platform supports real-time and batch transcription across more than 100 languages, as the French cloud provider tries to deepen its sovereign AI stack with multimodal and agentic capabilities. Financial terms were not disclosed for the proposed transaction by the two companies.The move would bring Gladia's speech-to-text technology inside OVH Groupe, rather than leaving voice AI as another external API dependency layered on top of its cloud services. That is the strategic point. OVHcloud is not just buying a feature. It is trying to own more of the AI stack.
Gladia, founded in [...]
Linux Foundation Opens AI Sharing Protocol for Enterprise AI - 📅 - The Linux Foundation has launched OpenSharing, a vendor-neutral protocol contributed by Databricks, to standardize how enterprises exchange AI agents, models and data across platforms, while a separate European talent report warns that AI adoption is running into security, privacy and skills constraints faster than organizations can hire their way out of them in 2026 alone across Europe.
The two announcements are not the same story. But they point in the same direction: AI is becoming an integration problem as much as a model problem.
OpenSharing is being positioned as an open protocol for sharing AI assets across organizations and platforms. It builds on Databricks' Delta Sharing [...]

Oracle Cloud Growth Rides AI Demand as Capex Pressure Builds - 📅 - Oracle reported stronger fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and profit, but the larger story is its accelerating turn into an AI cloud infrastructure provider. Cloud infrastructure revenue nearly doubled, contracted demand ballooned, and capital expenditure surged as Oracle races to build enough data center capacity for enterprises shifting AI workloads from pilots into production globally.
The company's numbers show why Oracle is suddenly harder to categorize. It is still an enterprise software company, still tied deeply to databases, applications and long-term customer contracts. But the growth narrative has moved elsewhere. Into cloud infrastructure. Into AI capacity. Into the expensive [...]
