In the fintech industry we can link latency directly to profit and money. If I have lower latency than the competition, I can get to the better deals, I can make the better deals.

When civilian banks, logistics platforms, and payment processors share physical data center infrastructure with military AI systems, those facilities become legitimate military targets under international humanitarian law - and the civilian services housed inside lose their legal protection.

Automating Kubernetes workloads with Operators can provide the same level of functionality as DBaaS, while still avoiding lock-in to a specific provider.

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.

Western Union is six months into a migration of 900 to 1,200 applications that run across a 3,900-core server fleet. The decision to move came during a period of re-invention at Western Union, a 175-year-old company that is currently working to become more customer-focused and therefore is open to new suppliers to help reach that goal.

A looming shortage of electrical power is set to constrain datacenter expansion, potentially leaving many industry growth forecasts looking overly optimistic. In its latest report, " Five Predictions for 2026," Uptime Institute says that power will become the defining constraint on datacenter growth in 2026 and beyond. This is because it simply isn't possible to add extra grid and generating capacity at the same rate as new server farms are popping up, so something is going to have to give.

Edge computing is a type of IT infrastructure in which data is collected, stored, and processed near the "edge" or on the device itself instead of being transmitted to a centralized processor. Edge computing systems usually involve a network of devices, sensors, or machinery capable of data processing and interconnection. A main benefit of edge computing is its low latency. Since each endpoint processes information near the source, it can be easier to process data, respond to requests, and produce detailed analytics.
