At the Hot Chips conference, IBM revealed the industry’s first dual-architecture mainframe processor, engineered for future generations of IBM Z and LinuxONE enterprise systems. Developed through the joint collaboration between IBM and Arm in April 2026, the processor will allow organizations to run Arm-native Linux operating environments alongside traditional z/OS and Linux on IBM Z

Gartner has published its 2026 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Storage Platforms, and the headline is continuity at the top, with one clear standout. The same six vendors hold the Leaders quadrant as last year: Everpure, Huawei, HPE, NetApp, Dell Technologies, and IBM. Within that group, Everpure sits highest in ability to execute and furthest in

Across several hardware generations, memory and networking vendors have identified different choke points in high-performance computing clusters. Memory manufacturers focused on in-package memory bandwidth, while network fabric providers addressed inter-chassis and cross-rack throughput. Today, those two perspectives have converged on the exact same bottleneck: the bandwidth wall that restricts data movement between distributed compute nodes

Sandisk has introduced two SSD families designed specifically for network-attached storage, covering both SATA-based systems and higher-performance NVMe NAS deployments. The Sandisk NAS 600 SATA SSD offers capacities up to 4TB and endurance up to 2,500 TBW, while the Sandisk NAS 800 NVMe SSD, a PCIe 5.0 drive, scales to 7.68TB with sequential read speeds

Cloudera has introduced Cloudera Anywhere Cloud, a hybrid data and AI platform engineered to build, deploy, and scale production-grade workloads across public clouds, sovereign environments, and private on-premises infrastructure. The platform can function as a standalone deployment or integrate directly into existing enterprise data lakes. It provides a centralized control plane that delivers automated management,

QNAP has released QuTS MEGA 2.0, an update to the operating system behind its MEGA Scale-out NAS platform that adds snapshots and Cross-Cluster Mirroring for data protection and disaster recovery. The new features extend the platform’s existing Ceph-based distributed architecture with local point-in-time recovery and replication between separate clusters. Snapshots Plus an Offsite Mirror Snapshots

NVIDIA, OpenAI, and SB Energy have shared more information about the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Pike County, Ohio. The project will combine an 8 IT-GW compute buildout with one of the largest financing backstops seen so far in the AI infrastructure sector. The project is being developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy

Stack Automation by Quali, the infrastructure automation platform co-developed with Cisco and sold exclusively through Cisco, has reached general availability. The pitch aims at the gap between buying AI infrastructure and using it: deployments that traditionally consume six to twelve weeks of manual assembly should, the companies say, come up in hours, with Cisco Validated

IBM has successfully integrated and cooled two cryogenic modules within a single shared environment, a step the company calls critical to scaling quantum systems that can eventually link hundreds of quantum chips. The achievement supports IBM’s stated timeline for delivering IBM Quantum Starling in 2029, a system the company expects to be the first fault-tolerant
