EdgeMode has secured the firm power supply for its planned AI data center platform in Spain. The platform, developed with Blackberry Alternative Investment Fund, comprises five campuses with over 1.5GW of total capacity.
The data center industry is shifting from just cooling its massive heat output to actually reusing it. Recent studies show promising tech like adsorption chillers and Organic Rankine Cycles can turn waste heat into a resource, cutting costs and carbon.
Verizon Business is now offering a fixed-wireless access service for enterprises that uses 5G network slicing to guarantee performance. The move is part of a broader push into broadband to reduce customer churn and find new revenue. It follows similar, earlier efforts from rival T-Mobile.
The AI boom is sending data center power demand soaring, threatening to overwhelm the grid and spike costs. But a massive, untapped source of clean energy is sitting idle on nearby commercial rooftops, offering a faster, cheaper path forward.
Data4 has been selected to develop a massive data center campus at a former Usinor steel plant in Escaudain, France. The €5 billion project hinges on a two-month feasibility study and could be operational by 2030. It’s part of a broader €20 billion push by Brookfield into French digital infrastructu
Microsoft’s 2026 roadmap makes AI a core, non-negotiable layer across Azure, Microsoft 365, and security. The push comes with new agent tools, broader Copilot access, and global infrastructure investments totaling billions. But it also means price increases starting July 1, 2026.
New data center startup Fermi is denying a report that Amazon was the “investment grade-rated tenant” that backed out of a massive deal earlier this month. The agreement’s collapse wiped nearly half the value from Fermi’s stock, which had been valued at $15 billion in an October IPO.
Researchers have identified a highly toxic amyloid beta subtype called ACU193+ that appears very early in Alzheimer’s. Their experimental pill, NU-9, sharply reduced it and associated inflammation in pre-symptomatic mice, modeling a preventive strategy.
The consultancy giant and the AI cloud upstart are both buying expertise to build data centers faster. It’s a clear sign that physical infrastructure is now the critical bottleneck for AI.
AirTrunk is expanding its Japanese footprint with a second hyperscale data center in Osaka. The new OSK2 campus will add up to 100MW of capacity, significantly larger than its first Osaka site. This move is part of the company’s major push into the APAC region to support cloud and AI growth.
