Lenovo has added the ThinkAgile VX850 V4 to its virtualization lineup, a four-socket node it describes as purpose-built for highly virtualized and demanding in-memory workloads, and paired the launch with a three-tier deployment service framework and a set of pre-validated Top Choice Express bundles spanning Microsoft, Red Hat, SUSE, and Nutanix. The announcement follows Lenovo’s
TrueNAS has released a native Proxmox VE storage plugin that lets Proxmox provision and manage VM disks directly on TrueNAS systems. A disk requested in Proxmox becomes an OpenZFS zvol on TrueNAS 25.10 or later, published as an iSCSI LUN or an NVMe/TCP namespace, and the plugin handles creation, snapshots, resizing, migration, and deletion from
CoreWeave has deployed a multi-rack NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 cluster on CoreWeave Cloud, connecting hundreds of Rubin GPUs into a single scale-out environment aimed at agentic AI workloads. Each Dell-built rack carries 72 Rubin GPUs, 36 Vera CPUs, NVLink 6 as the scale-up fabric, BlueField-4 DPUs, and two ConnectX-9 SuperNICs per GPU, and the racks
MLCommons has published MLPerf Inference v6.1, and the round sets a participation record with 30 submitting organizations and 486 datacenter and edge results. Two new tests join the suite: an End-to-End RAG pipeline for the datacenter and an Edge Agentic Inference benchmark for single-user devices, and the results carry the first peer-reviewed numbers for NVIDIA’s
Micron has demonstrated a 512GB DDR5 RDIMM running on multiple server platforms, which it calls the world’s first module at that capacity, and says AMD and Intel are both validating it for their next-generation server platforms. The module is rated for speeds up to 9,200 MT/s, and in a 24-slot dual-socket server it puts 12TB
Seagate and WD published separate AI storage studies within days of each other; the headline numbers: Seagate says 99% of enterprises expect AI to increase their storage requirements over the next three years, while WD’s IDC research puts the comparable figure at 74%. Read the fine print, and both reports land in the same directional
Other World Computing (OWC) has acquired OpenDrives, the Los Angeles software-defined storage company whose Atlas platform has sat behind Hollywood studios, post houses, and live broadcast networks since 2011. The deal brings OpenDrives’ Atlas, Astraeus, and Edge platforms into OWC’s shared storage portfolio alongside the Jellyfish line, and OWC says it extends that line into
NVIDIA has added CUDA-Q Logical to its open-source CUDA-Q platform, an orchestration layer for building applications that run on fault-tolerant quantum computers, and it arrives with two numbers that are interesting. Fermilab says the tool cut a fault-tolerant algorithm design cycle from five months to three weeks, and Iceberg Quantum used it to show that
Axelera AI is shipping Europa, the second-generation AI Processing Unit (AIPU) it has been previewing since last year, and it’s launching with validated servers from Dell and Supermicro attached. The Eindhoven company’s pitch is inference on infrastructure the customer controls: agentic systems, vision-language models, generative AI, and computer vision running in a standard rackmount server
CTERA has published The Cold Data Storage Report, an analysis of 16 petabytes of live production data across 856 file-share discovery scans in enterprise NAS environments, including regulated industries, and the headline number is that just 4.4% of stored capacity is actively used, which the report page defines as modified within a 90-day window.
