Building autonomous vehicles is no longer just a question of sensors and software. It has become a test of how well companies can manage vast amounts of data, run large-scale simulations, and validate safety across millions of scenarios before a vehicle ever reaches the road. For automotive firms working on self-driving systems, the ability to […]
The cloud market has long been shaped by a familiar group of hyperscalers. What is changing now is not just who runs cloud platforms, but who is starting to build the infrastructure behind them. Recent reporting that Brookfield Asset Management is preparing to launch a cloud business points to a broader shift in how large […]
Live video changes the pressure on a streaming business. Unlike on-demand shows, live events do not allow for retries, quiet fixes, or delayed updates. If something fails, viewers notice immediately. Over the past year, Netflix has been reworking how it handles that risk by building live streaming directly into its core cloud systems, rather than […]
Google Cloud has agreed to a multiyear security services partnership with Palo Alto Networks as enterprise use of AI in cloud environments grows. A source told Reuters the deal is worth close to $10 billion over its lifetime. The agreement marks Google Cloud’s largest security services deal to date. While financial terms were not disclosed […]
For years, sovereign cloud discussions focused on geography. Data had to stay inside a country. Infrastructure had to sit within defined borders. Control was assumed to follow location. That model is starting to break down. AI workloads, distributed applications, and stricter oversight rules are pushing organisations to rethink what sovereignty actually means in practice. Data […]
IBM plans to buy Confluent in an $11 billion deal, a move that expands its data and cloud portfolio as demand for AI systems grows. The company has been building up its cloud and software units under CEO Arvind Krishna, who has focused on acquisitions to meet interest from clients upgrading their systems for more […]
HPE and Veeam are taking their long-running partnership into a new phase, rolling out updates aimed at helping enterprises protect and restore data in mixed and hybrid cloud environments. The shift comes as many firms are trying to manage older systems, virtual machines, and container platforms while also dealing with higher security demands. John Jester, […]
The US government is to gain access to new AI and high-performance computing tools as AWS prepares a major expansion of its secure cloud systems. The company plans to invest up to $50 billion starting in 2026 to build out AI and supercomputing capacity in its Top Secret, Secret, and GovCloud regions. The buildout will […]
Google Cloud has picked up another major contract to deliver secure, sovereign cloud services to a military agency, only a few months after it signed a similar deal with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). The agreement will see the Nato Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) use Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), an air-gapped system built […]
Resilience used to mean a disaster recovery document in a drawer and a secondary data centre on standby. But new payment methods, rising fraud, tougher regulation, and global expansion plans mean that resilience now depends on payment systems that can flex, reroute, and recover without sacrificing performance or compliance. Done well, resilience becomes a growth […]
