Managing security and performance across distributed cloud environments has never been straightforward. In fact, enterprises running workloads across multiple providers typically stitch together separate tools for content delivery, DDoS protection, API security, and traffic management, each with its own pricing model, dashboard, and support channel. As a result, Oracle and Cloudflare are trying to collapse that complexity with a formally integrated partnership called Cloudflare@OCI. Read all
Modal Labs just closed a $355 million Series C round at a $4.65 billion valuation, and the number that deserves equal attention is how fast that valuation moved. In September 2025, the company raised $80 million at a $1.1 billion valuation. Less than a year later, investors priced it more than four times higher. That kind of jump reflects something beyond ordinary momentum. Read all
Tata Consultancy Services has formally introduced its SovereignSecure Cloud offering across the European Union, extending a product it first deployed in India in 2025 before rolling it into Kenya, East Africa, and the Philippines. The European launch is the most consequential iteration yet, given how seriously EU regulators and enterprises have treated data residency and operational control in recent years. Read all
The Dutch government has moved to block Kyndryl‘s planned acquisition of Solvinity, a Dutch cloud and managed services provider that hosts DigiD, the national digital identity system millions of Dutch citizens use to access tax records, health data, insurance information, and government services. Junior Economic Affairs Minister Willemijn Aerdts disclosed the decision to parliament, citing public-interest risks tied to foreign control over critical digital infrastructure. Read all
Not long ago, IREN Limited was primarily a Bitcoin mining company. Today, it signs billion-dollar hardware agreements at a pace that few purpose-built cloud operators have matched. The latest move is a $1.6 billion purchase agreement with Dell Technologies covering air-cooled systems for its expanding AI cloud platform. Read all
A security vulnerability carrying a severity score of 9.8 out of 10 surfaced in cPanel and WHM earlier this year, and for a few hours it represented a genuine worst-case scenario for web hosting infrastructure. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-41940, let a network-based attacker gain root-level access to a server without a valid username, password, or two-factor authentication code. No credentials required. The bug exposed nearly 1.5 million internet-facing servers globally. Read all
German public authorities have spent years navigating a familiar tension: the need for modern cloud infrastructure on one side, and strict data sovereignty requirements on the other. Most procurement processes made accessing both at the same time genuinely difficult. A new framework agreement involving Deutsche Telekom and Bechtle AG is trying to change that on a practical level, not just a policy one. Read all
Amazon has been building in Southeast Asia for 15 years, quietly and consistently, since launching its AWS Singapore region in 2010. What it announced recently consolidates that history into a single number that reframes the scale of the commitment: more than $33 billion in planned cloud and AI infrastructure investment across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand through 2039.

Two organizations made opposite decisions about VMware this week, and together they illustrate exactly where the enterprise market stands two years after Broadcom’s $69 billion acquisition reshaped the licensing landscape in ways nobody outside Broadcom particularly welcomed. Read all
Anthropic is reportedly in early discussions to rent server capacity running on Microsoft’s in-house Maia AI accelerator chips.

Three major deals in 18 months. That is the pace at which CyberFolks has been quietly assembling something that no other hosting company in Europe currently owns: a vertical stack running from infrastructure all the way through the software that merchants actually use to sell online. Read all
Financial institutions have lived with an uncomfortable tradeoff for a long time. Upgrading risk management software means downtime, project teams, diverted resources, and a window where critical systems are in flux. For firms tracking market and credit risk in real time, that window carries real exposure. Most institutions learned to delay upgrades as long as possible, which meant running older software in markets that changed faster than their tools could keep up. Read all
OVHcloud is not launching a new product. What it announced this week is arguably more consequential for its business: a restructured sales operation designed specifically to compete for sovereign cloud, regulated AI, and defense workloads across Europe. The new structure goes live September 1, 2026. Read all
