Vodafone has completed a trial using AWS cloud infrastructure to run IoT voice and data network applications on Nokia core systems. The trial involved key network functions for Vodafone’s managed IoT connectivity platform running on public cloud infrastructure. Vodafone said the work forms part of its wider multi-cloud strategy. Vodafone tests cloud-based IoT core The […]
Google has broken ground on a new data centre in Horndal, Sweden. The facility will support Google services including Search, Cloud, Workspace, and YouTube. The company said the site will help meet demand for cloud services in Sweden and other markets. The International Energy Agency said electricity demand from data centres rose 17% in 2025 […]
A shift is underway in how large retailers run their physical stores. What once depended on manual stock checks and fixed supply chains is now moving away from siloed systems toward software-driven operations powered by cloud and AI. Amazon’s latest retail initiative offers a clear example of this change taking shape inside real-world environments. Amazon […]
Cloud demand is starting to change in a way that reflects how companies are building and running AI systems. The change is about the type of workloads moving into cloud environments. Recent comments from Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, point to a much larger market than previously expected, driven by enterprise AI adoption. At a […]
The way people shop online and in stores is changing. Large retailers are trying new ways to make search, product discovery and support feel more fluid and more personalised. The Australian retail group Wesfarmers unveiled a partnership with Google Cloud designed to do just that, using advanced AI tools to build a new customer experience […]
AI is starting to change how large organisations use cloud data platforms. What began as a way to store information cheaply and scale analytics has become central to reporting, dashboards, and business intelligence. The shift now is not where data lives in the cloud, but who can work with it and how quickly insights can […]
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 large organisations, cloud computing still sits in the background. It runs internal systems, supports analytics teams, and scales storage when needed. What is changing is where cloud shows up in the work itself — including in performance-critical environments like Formula 1 or F1, where Mercedes is using cloud systems to support real-time decisions […]
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 […]
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 […]
