Intel announced a set of data center updates at Computex 2026 in Taipei spanning compute, networking, and its AI accelerator roadmap. The headline item is the introduction of Intel Xeon 6+ processors, paired with an expanded 800 Series Ethernet lineup based on Intel Ethernet E835 controllers and adapters. Intel also provided an update on its

NetApp and Cisco have introduced an expanded set of FlexPod-validated solutions to simplify the deployment of secure, scalable AI infrastructure. The announcement builds on the long-standing FlexPod partnership, positioning the platform as a pre-validated foundation for organizations looking to address the performance, data management, and security demands of modern AI workloads. The companies are targeting

Nutanix announced that its Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) solution is now NVIDIA-Certified at the enterprise level, validating the platform for enterprise and cloud provider deployments running large-scale production AI workloads. The certification provides a validated configuration intended to reduce integration risk and help customers scale AI infrastructure with more predictable storage behavior. The company also

Although Dell’s PowerEdge R4715 and R5715 are two separate products, they should be viewed as a configurable matrix. The matrix includes two chassis, four AMD EPYC 9005 Series CPU options, a wide range of storage configurations, and the full Dell management and support ecosystem. The combination is purpose-built for SMB organizations that need to match

ZutaCore has secured $100 million in Series C funding, with participation from Mitsubishi Electric, Carrier Ventures, Samsung Electronics, and others through its corporate venture arm, Samsung Ventures. The investment is aimed at accelerating global commercialization, expanding deployments, and advancing research and development as demand for high-density AI and HPC infrastructure continues to rise. The funding

CoolIT Systems has announced the development of what it describes as the first 15kW direct liquid cooling (DLC) coldplate design, positioning single-phase liquid cooling as a viable path for AI infrastructure well beyond 2030. The company reports that the design delivers nearly four times the performance of earlier single-phase coldplates, indicating that the architecture can

Financial services infrastructure continues to be defined by the need to process larger risk models within fixed power and space constraints. As Monte Carlo-based analytics scale, system bottlenecks increasingly shift from compute to memory bandwidth, where data movement dominates runtime. Monte Carlo methods use repeated random sampling to calculate the probability of different outcomes in

At COMPUTEX 2026, MSI showcased a broad range of AI and data center infrastructure platforms, with a clear emphasis on liquid cooling as rack power density continues to climb. The company’s exhibit featured OCP ORv3 rack-scale architectures, NVIDIA MGX-based GPU servers for training and inference, an NVIDIA DGX Station-derived desktop system for local AI work,

IBM and Red Hat have expanded their enterprise security strategy with two announcements in quick succession: joining Anthropic’s Project Glasswing on May 19 and introducing Project Lightwell on May 28, aligning large-scale engineering investment with industry collaboration to address growing risks in open-source and AI-driven environments.
