Rocketlane Secures $60M To Expand AI Services Platform - 📅 - Rocketlane said this week it has raised $60 million in Series C funding led by Insight Partners, as demand grows for tools that help enterprises turn AI investments into operational results, rather than pilots, with professional services teams increasingly tasked with making those systems actually work in production environments globally.

The round brings Rocketlane's total funding to $105 million and follows a year in which the company claims to have more than doubled revenue while expanding into enterprise accounts. New offices in London, New York and San Francisco signal a push beyond its earlier footprint, though scaling services software globally comes with familiar [...]
ibm.com logoIBM Quantum Achieves Accurate Simulation of Real Materials - 📅 - IBM researchers, working with U.S. national laboratories and universities, said this week their quantum processor has reproduced experimental data from magnetic materials with surprising accuracy, marking a shift from theoretical promise to measurable validation, as the industry searches for practical use cases for quantum computing beyond demonstrations and controlled lab conditions.

The work, detailed in a pre-print, compares quantum simulations against neutron scattering experiments - a long-standing method for probing the behaviour of magnetic systems. The results align closely with data generated at facilities such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, suggesting that current quantum [...]
Crusoe Builds 900MW AI Data Center Campus In Texas for Microsoft - 📅 - Crusoe said this week it will build a new 900MW AI data center campus in Abilene, Texas, expanding its partnership with Microsoft, as demand for large-scale compute accelerates, pushing infrastructure providers to secure power, land and speed in a race to support next-generation AI workloads across the United States and globally.

The project adds two new buildings and an on-site power plant next to Crusoe's existing Abilene facilities, bringing total planned capacity at the site to roughly 2.1 gigawatts. Construction is already underway, with the first new building expected to go live by mid-2027. The pace is notable, even in a market that has grown used to big numbers.

Crusoe is leaning [...]
gcore.com logoDDoS Attacks Surge 150 Percent as Scale And speed Spike - 📅 - A new report released this week by Gcore finds distributed denial-of-service attacks surged 150 percent year-on-year in late 2025, with volumes, speed and geographic spread all increasing sharply, as enterprises across technology, finance and gaming sectors face escalating disruption risks from cheaper tools, automated botnets and shifting attack infrastructure worldwide.

The raw numbers are hard to ignore. Gcore recorded roughly 1.3 million attacks in the final quarter of 2025, up from just over half a million a year earlier. Peak volumes reached 12 terabits per second, a sixfold jump that signals something more than incremental growth. The scale is changing, and quickly.

Attack [...]
digitalrealty.com logoDigital Realty Targets Milan Data Center Expansion as Rival Builds - 📅 - Digital Realty has announced plans to expand into Milan with new land acquisitions for a future data center campus, the company said this week, as demand for AI infrastructure grows and competition intensifies following recent expansion moves in the Italian market by rivals including CyrusOne.

The company has secured two plots in Abbiategrasso, southwest of Milan, located about one kilometer apart. The site sits along a subsea traffic corridor linking Milan to Genoa and Savona, with access to dense terrestrial fiber routes across Northern Italy.

Initial deployment will begin with an 8-megawatt facility, expected to be ready by 2028. Over time, Digital Realty plans to scale the campus [...]
ibm.com logoAI Drives Workplace Convergence NTT Data Flags Execution Gap - 📅 - Artificial intelligence is moving from pilot projects to core operations, according to a new report released this week by NTT DATA, based on research with Everest Group across 330 enterprises globally, which finds most companies planning to unify workplace, network and field services by 2030 but failing to act, exposing a widening execution gap right now today.

The numbers are not subtle. More than 80% of enterprises expect to collapse workplace systems, connectivity and field operations into a single operating model within five years, according to the research report by NTT Data. At the same time, most are still running fragmented environments stitched together over a decade of cloud [...]

coresite.com logoLINX Completes Major London Network Refresh With Nokia - 📅 - London Internet Exchange has completed a major overhaul of its 17-site London interconnection network, selecting Nokia as its technical partner, the organisations said this week, as the UK's core internet infrastructure faces rising demand, ageing hardware and growing pressure to support higher-capacity traffic driven by cloud and AI workloads.

The upgrade focuses on LON2, LINX's secondary interconnection fabric, which operates alongside the primary LON1 network. Together, they form a dual-LAN architecture designed to avoid single points of failure - a principle that has defined LINX's approach for more than two decades.

This wasn't a routine refresh. The existing LON2 platform had [...]
Caribbean Datacenter Association Adds 0Wire Communications - 📅 - Viper Networks subsidiary 0Wire Communications has joined the Caribbean Datacenter Association as an affiliate member this week, positioning itself within the region's growing digital infrastructure ecosystem as it prepares telecom rollouts across the Eastern Caribbean and seeks relevance in a market defined by connectivity gaps and data sovereignty ambitions.

The move follows earlier steps by Viper Networks to establish 0Wire CARICOM in St. Lucia, part of a broader push into Caribbean telecom markets. The company says it plans to begin operations in Dominica, followed by St. Lucia and St. Kitts, offering fixed wireless, mobile, and smart city services.

At first glance, the association [...]
Xebia Expands European Cloud Offering with OVHcloud - 📅 - Xebia has partnered with OVHcloud to offer enterprises a European-based alternative to US cloud platforms, the companies said this week, targeting regulated industries seeking stricter data control as compliance pressure grows across the EU and concerns over jurisdiction and data sovereignty continue to shape infrastructure decisions.

The move adds OVHcloud to Xebia's list of supported providers, giving customers access to infrastructure designed to meet European data residency requirements. That includes public cloud services, managed Kubernetes, and database platforms, bundled with Xebia's advisory and implementation work.

It's not a radical shift, but it reflects a steady change in [...]
