ScaleFlux has introduced an AI-optimized SSD platform designed for NVIDIA CMX and other inference architectures that use SSDs as a shared KV-cache tier beyond GPU HBM and host DRAM. The platform combines high-endurance SSD hardware, Flexible Data Placement (FDP) support, and workload telemetry intended to improve data placement, reduce write amplification, and extend effective endurance

WEKA announced that Andromeda, the platform that connects AI teams with high-performance compute across an open market of providers, is integrating WEKA NeuralMesh as a core data storage layer for its managed GPU clusters. Andromeda customers can choose between a dedicated NeuralMesh deployment and a GPU-native NeuralMesh Axon configuration, giving them consistent storage performance on

KIOXIA has introduced the CM10 Series, the company’s first PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD and its first enterprise drive built on BiCS FLASH generation 10 TLC memory. The drives cover E3.S, E1.S, and 2.5-inch form factors, with capacities ranging from 1.60TB to 61.44TB and endurance options for both read-intensive and mixed-use workloads. The PCIe 6.0 portion

Dell Technologies has added PowerStore support for Nutanix Cloud Platform, available starting with Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 7.6. The integration is delivered through Dell Private Cloud, combining PowerStore all-flash storage with Nutanix Cloud Platform and AHV virtualization in a validated automated deployment model. PowerStore is the second Dell external storage platform integrated with Nutanix Cloud

Veeam has released Data Platform v13.1 alongside Veeam Data Cloud Vault Archive, combining a broad backup and recovery update with a new managed storage tier for long-term retention. Version 13.1 expands hypervisor and enterprise application coverage, extends malware detection to more data locations, and adds identity recovery and cryptography features. Vault Archive offers organizations a

Qualcomm Incorporated has completed its acquisition of Modular Inc., adding AI-native software infrastructure to its portfolio of compute platforms spanning devices, edge deployments, and data centers. Qualcomm announced the agreement on June 24 and closed on July 29, roughly five weeks later, ahead of the second-half-of-2026 window it guided to at signing. Neither company has

Dell’s naming puts the Pro 5 14 a rung below the Pro 7 in its commercial lineup, but the spec sheet complicates that hierarchy. This is the compact counterpart to the Dell Pro 5 16 AMD we reviewed earlier, yet Dell equips it with a Core Ultra X7 368H, which is a higher-tier processor than

MinIO has introduced AIStor Memory, a storage service that provides persistent memory, workspaces, and secrets for AI agents within a single enterprise-controlled platform. The offering targets organizations moving agentic AI workloads from isolated experiments into production processes involving analysis, software development, document creation, and decision support. AIStor Memory treats memory as a native data type

NVIDIA and more than 35 founding partners have launched the Open Secure AI Alliance, an initiative focused on developing open-source tools, models, agent frameworks, and security technologies for AI systems. The membership is notable as much for who is absent as who signed on: Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, Palantir, Dell Technologies, and HPE are in, while
