The most dangerous assumption in quality engineering right now is that you can validate an autonomous testing agent the same way you validated a deterministic application. When your systems can reason, adapt, and make decisions on their own, that linear validation model collapses.

Qi Sun's DrayEasy platform exemplifies a significant advancement in logistics, merging quoting, booking, and real-time tracking into a seamless automated experience for shippers.

The UK has about 1.59GW of currently installed datacentre capacity at just under 190 sites. If we add existing capacity to that which is planned to complete by 2030 and which has planning consent, we get 4.9GW.

Susquehanna's Positive rating reflects confidence in Arista's ability to capture growing demand for high-performance Ethernet networking as hyperscale cloud providers and enterprises scale AI workloads.

The attacks forced a reckoning with one of the most consequential design flaws in global digital infrastructure: the concentration of military and civilian data on the same physical servers, in facilities that could become military targets the moment a conflict begins.

AI Armor provides dynamic runtime security and relies on a central policy engine in the Universal Management Suite (UMS) to meet compliance requirements, ensuring that organizations can manage their security effectively.

We are making sure that we have renewable energy powering all of our datacentre footprint. We have 100% renewable power today that is powering all of Azure, and we're very proud to build that base and essentially stimulate renewable energy around the world and in the UK.

A year ago, Redwood Materials didn't have an energy storage business. Now, it is the fastest-growing unit within the battery recycling and materials startup - a reflection of an AI data center building boom. The evidence of that growth, the company says, can be found at its R&D lab in San Francisco, which has expanded four-fold into a 55,000-square-foot facility and now employs nearly 100 people.

Data centers drive climate change by burning fossil fuels, using large amounts of electricity, and requiring up to five million gallons of water a day to fuel cooling systems. Research has shown these facilities can harm the health of local residents through air and noise pollution, while providing minimal long-term job stimulus.

The US is now leading a global surge in new gas power plants being built in large part to satisfy growing energy demand for data centers. And more gas means more planet-heating pollution. Gas-fired power generation in development globally rose by 31 percent in 2025. Almost a quarter of that added capacity is slated for the US, which has surpassed China with the biggest increase of any country.

Vertiv has announced new configurations of its MegaMod HDX solution, a prefabricated power and liquid cooling infrastructure designed for environments with very high power densities. The solution is intended for applications such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing and is available in North America and the EMEA region. According to Vertiv, the new variants respond to the rapidly growing demand for computing power and associated cooling capacity in data centers.

Despite the Trump administration's opposition to renewables, solar power will likely remain part of datacenter energy supply mix due to its low cost. This is according to financial analyst Jefferies, which says in a research note - shared with The Register - that clean energy companies are going "on the offense" and adapting to the changing times in which they find themselves.

A North American manufacturer spent most of 2024 and early 2025 doing what many innovative enterprises did: aggressively standardizing on the public cloud by using data lakes, analytics, CI/CD, and even a good chunk of ERP integration. The board liked the narrative because it sounded like simplification, and simplification sounded like savings. Then generative AI arrived, not as a lab toy but as a mandate. "Put copilots everywhere," leadership said. "Start with maintenance, then procurement, then the call center, then engineering change orders."

Intel is making a new push into GPUs, this time with a focus on data center workloads, as the chipmaker looks to reestablish itself in a market increasingly shaped by AI-driven demand and dominated by Nvidia. CEO Lip-Bu Tan said that after hiring a senior GPU architect, the company is working directly with customers to define requirements, signaling a more demand-driven approach as enterprises and cloud providers weigh their options for accelerated computing, according to a Reuters report.
