As enterprises push AI out of pilots and into production, FlexPod, the converged infrastructure franchise built by NetApp Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc., is being recast as a pretested answer to AI’s complexity. Customers want a trusted platform, not a pile of parts to integrate themselves. That pitch lands as NetApp works to tie its…
As open-weight models close in on the performance of proprietary frontier systems, enterprises are gaining a credible way to run generative AI on hardware they own. That shift puts the data already sitting in corporate storage at the center of the private AI conversation. Many organizations are now moving AI out of pilot projects and…

The neocloud market is moving past its origins as a stopgap for scarce graphics processing units. AI-native startups now choose their infrastructure on latency, burst capacity and openness, not just chip availability. That shift is playing out at CoreWeave Inc., which is expanding beyond GPU compute into networking, storage and software as inference demand grows.
Envoy Gateway has released v1.9.1, a maintenance release that focuses heavily on security, upgrade reliability, and operational correctness following the broader v1.9 release. By Craig Risi
OpenAI unveiled several flashy new features during its annual developer’s conference Tuesday, from the always-on “Dot” work agent to a new, cloud-based security system that keeps constant watch for cyber threats. But one of the biggest — and to many ChatGPT users, the most infuriating — headlines from DevDay wasn’t announced on stage.
Dell has patched two maximum severity vulnerabilities in the Container Storage Modules (CSM) that connect Dell enterprise storage arrays to Kubernetes environments.
Amazon and chip design tool maker Synopsys have inked a multi-year partnership worth over a billion dollars. As part of the arrangement, Amazon will license Synopsys' chip designs and its design tools to create and optimize new AI chips. Synopsys will adopt Amazon Bedrock to build and deploy AI agents, and adopt AWS computing and storage services, while optimizing its own tools for Amazon hardware.
Grid connection awaits regulatory approval, putting planned 2027 customer delivery at risk
How quickly things change in the artificial intelligence era. Just a few months after everyone was scrambling to infuse AI into every enterprise operation — and frankly they still are, as agents have captured the enterprise imagination — everyone now is saying, “Whoa, where’s the brake pedal?” That’s why controlling agents is the next infrastructure…
Uber has rebuilt major parts of the Uber Eats search pipeline, reporting a 50% reduction in end-to-end latency. Changes include Above-the-Fold measurement, reduced retrieval work, parallel hydration, advertising data redesign, infrastructure optimizations, and an agentic coding workflow. Uber is also exploring microbatching, product-based retrieval, and HTTP multipart streaming. By Leela Kumili
PC upgrades cost more than they used to. At least, if you’re looking to get more storage space. AI data center buildouts have obliterated affordable prices for SSDs and hard drives. Even SD cards and flash drives haven’t been immune! If you’d like to reduce the sting of sky-high costs, Amazon’s October Prime Day is worth a peek.
A Texas school district is going all-in on the iPad and MacBook Neo as part of a new $11 million deal. The Beaumont Independent School District is ditching its Chromebook fleet and opting for Apple gear going forward, citing better reliability, lower costs, and performance. As reported by the Beaumont Enterprise this week, the Beaumont Independent School District’s board has approved an $11.19 million four-year lease to upgrade its technology ecosystem.
CoreWeave used its Fully Connected 2026 conference in San Francisco to put NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 into production, with Cognition as the first customer running live workloads on it. Cognition’s engineers report up to 4.8x the total token throughput per GPU of a GB200 NVL72 baseline on SWE-2 inference at matched interactivity, and 3.8x the
AMD has started sampling the Versal AI Core XQRVC1902 adaptive SoC with early access customers in an enhanced space-grade package built for missions lasting up to 15 years. The package is an organic lidless design, and AMD is testing the device to MIL-PRF-38535 Class Y, which it describes as the highest level of quality and
Enterprise AI is no longer a future ambition. It is in full operational flight. Model capabilities are advancing faster than most organizations can absorb, while the cost of performance continues to fall. Globally, AI investment is set to reach $2.5 trillion in 2026, up 44% from the previous year. For many enterprises, this investment has…
Schneider Electric used YOTTA 2026 in Las Vegas to introduce what it calls the world’s first fully software-defined medium-voltage switchgear, already running in a live colocation pilot with Equinix, along with a 38 kV extension of its SF₆-free AirSeT gas-insulated switchgear and a three-company “Generator-to-Chip” delivery model with Wärtsilä Energy and Stanley Consultants.
