European data rules shape how cloud services are built and deployed, pushing software providers to offer options that keep data and control inside the region. A new move by customer experience software firm Genesys shows how vendors are preparing for that shift, as more organisations weigh compliance risks when choosing where to run cloud workloads. […]
Cloud capacity is becoming one of the main constraints on enterprise AI adoption, and Amazon’s latest spending plans show how providers are responding. The company is preparing to commit roughly $200 billion in capital expenditure, much of it aimed at expanding AWS data centres, custom chips, and related AI infrastructure, according to reporting by the […]
Large financial institutions rarely overhaul their technology in one dramatic move. Change tends to happen in stages, with systems gradually shifted, consolidated, and refined over time. Nationwide Building Society’s expanded cloud services partnership with AWS fits squarely into that pattern. Rather than signalling a new direction, the agreement reflects a decision to go further down […]
For many European organisations, cloud decisions are no longer just about cost, scale, or performance. As companies assess options such as Amazon’s sovereign cloud, choices are increasingly shaped by questions of control: where data sits, who can access it, and how exposed critical systems are to foreign laws and political pressure. That tension helps explain […]
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 […]
For Airbus, the cloud is no longer just an IT decision. It has become a question of control. Europe’s largest aerospace group is weighing a move away from two of its most important technology suppliers—Google and Microsoft—as it looks for a cloud environment governed entirely by European rules. According to reporting by The Register, Airbus […]
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 […]
A new multicloud networking service built by Amazon and Google is now available, giving companies a faster way to link the two tech giants’ cloud platforms at a time when even short internet outages can disrupt major online services. The system lets customers set up private, high-speed connections between AWS and Google Cloud in minutes […]
Hyperscale providers are at the centre of global digital infrastructure. DC Byte’s 2025 Global Data Centre Index [email wall] estimates that public cloud, social media, and AI workloads account for nearly 70% of global data centre demand. Their build and leasing decisions shape where power networks are reinforced or need alteration/expansion, where national, state or […]
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 […]
