Valvoline Global Operations has introduced Beyond by Valvoline, a new fluid platform focused on advanced thermal management applications, including AI infrastructure, high-performance computing (HPC), and utility-scale battery energy storage systems. To get up to speed on the science behind Valvoline’s work, check out our podcast interview. The announcement builds on work Valvoline has been pursuing
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
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
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,
At COMPUTEX 2026, HPE announced the ProLiant Compute DL394 Gen12, a next-generation 2U server built around the NVIDIA Vera CPU. The platform is designed to support emerging agentic AI and data-intensive workloads that require high memory bandwidth, low latency, and deterministic performance. The system integrates HPE’s enterprise management and security stack, including Integrated Lights-Out and
HPE has announced general availability of the HPE Compute Scale-up Server 3250, a scale-up platform engineered for in-memory databases and business-critical transactional and analytics workloads. The system is built on Intel Xeon 6 processors and targets environments that require large memory footprints, high availability, and consistent performance under heavy load. HPE’s Krista Satterthwaite, senior VP
Dell Technologies has announced two major updates to its Dell AI Platform with AMD, targeting organizations scaling from pilot AI deployments to full production environments. The enhancements focus on high-performance training infrastructure and a modular architecture that balances cost, scalability, and operational control. The first update introduces a large-scale configuration featuring Dell PowerEdge XE9785 server
HPE has announced an expansion of its ProLiant edge compute portfolio, introducing new hardware designed to support AI inferencing and mission-critical applications in distributed or harsh environments. The update includes the new HPE ProLiant Compute EL2000 chassis, which serves as the foundation for two Gen12 servers, and an enhanced version of the HPE ProLiant DL145
