Two of the three big memory makers are putting money into U.S. semiconductor infrastructure at opposite ends of the production chain. Micron committed up to $3 billion to domestic supply-chain investments in July, anchored by a raw silicon wafer deal in Texas, while SK hynix is preparing to break ground on its advanced HBM packaging
HCLTech and NetApp have expanded their strategic partnership to deliver an integrated hybrid cloud Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) platform tailored for enterprise artificial intelligence, generative AI, and high-performance data architectures. It is the latest in a run of NetApp moves aimed at AI data pipelines, following its DataPelago acquisition in July. The offering links infrastructure consumption with
Dell has qualified KIOXIA’s 245.76TB NVMe SSDs for software-defined ObjectScale, putting 9.83PB of raw flash in a single 2U server. The density milestone lands on top of the data-path work Dell detailed earlier this year across ObjectScale 4.2 and 4.3, which targets high-throughput AI training, small-object pipeline efficiency, and inference acceleration through native S3 over
NVIDIA has moved Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics, its co-packaged optics (CPO) Ethernet switch platform, into full production. The company puts the gains at 4x fewer lasers, 5x lower power consumption, and 10x higher mean time between incidents, and it named the five manufacturing partners building the switch at each stage of the supply chain. The milestone
NVIDIA has transitioned its 800-VDC power architecture from a forward-looking design concept into an active production roadmap. The initial MGX-compatible 800-VDC power rack is scheduled to enter production in the second half of 2026, delivering high-voltage direct current to AI compute racks while the broader data center facility continues operating on existing alternating current distribution.
