Dell says it has delivered more than 6,500 AI Factories to customers across nearly every industry, and it has paired that milestone with commissioned research from Omdia on how enterprises are securing the AI they run on that hardware. The headline finding is that 98% of organizations are already using or developing agentic AI for

NVIDIA has introduced NVIDIA DSX Ready, a qualification program for partner products that meet the applicable requirements of its NVIDIA DSX AI factory reference designs. NVIDIA’s framing is that power, cooling, water, site, and grid constraints now shape what AI factory builders can deploy, and the program’s job is to connect a reference design to

Giga Computing has opened GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), its first proprietary AI computing center, in New Taipei City, Taiwan: a six-rack, direct-liquid-cooled facility built to validate rack-scale AI infrastructure with customers before it ships. The first phase carries a planned 700 kW power envelope, with more capacity planned in later phases as operational needs

VAST Data has previewed VAST DataEnclave, a confidential AI capability of the VAST DataEngine built on NVIDIA Confidential Computing, which lets proprietary and open AI models run against enterprise data inside customer-controlled environments: on-premises data centers, sovereign clouds, and fully air-gapped sites. The runtime pairs hardware-isolated execution with cryptographic attestation so model weights and regulated

ABB has introduced Infinitus, a portfolio of direct current power technologies for AI data centers built around 800 VDC distribution and rack power demands the company expects to reach 1 MW and beyond. ABB says today’s AI racks draw close to 200 kW, and the next chip generations will need an electrical architecture that strips

In enterprise IT, most security upgrades typically occur in response to breaches or other significant incidents. The recently developed INCITS FC-SP-3 standard, however, represents a proactive response to regulatory and cryptographic deadlines that are already influencing infrastructure planning. The NSA’s CNSA 2.0 guidance presents National Security Systems with a complex migration path, while the European

IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Enterprise Storage Systems Tracker shows the external OEM enterprise storage systems (ESS) market reached $10.3 billion in vendor revenue during the second quarter of 2026, up 33.6% year over year. It’s the second-highest quarterly total in the tracker’s history, trailing only Q4 2025, and the highest revenue ever recorded outside a fourth-quarter

Mini PCs have become one of the more important segments of the client computing market. They anchor fleets of clutter-free office desks, drive digital signage and kiosks, and increasingly sit at the edge running inference close to cameras and sensors where cloud round-trips are too slow or too expensive. What the category has lacked until

QNAP has introduced the TS-h966TX, a compact 9-bay NAS that pairs five 3.5-inch SATA bays with four 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe bays and puts dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10GbE, and 2.5GbE on the back of a tower that QNAP says is 36% smaller than its previous HDD-based 6-bay Thunderbolt 4 NAS models. It runs a 6-core
