Even as demand for data infrastructure surges to an all-time high, Equinix is planning to lay off 3% of its workforce, suggesting a growing skills mismatch in the industry. According to Goldman Sachs , datacenter demand in the US alone is projected to nearly triple by 2030, driving more than $1 trillion in investment.
Microsoft has introduced a new design for datacenters to optimize artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, implementing a cooling system that it claims will consume zero water. Traditionally in Microsoft datacenters, water has been evaporated on-site to reduce the power demand of the cooling systems.
Lightmatter has announced new silicon photonics products that could dramatically speed up AI systems by solving a critical problem: the sluggish connections between AI chips in datacenters. Todays AI chips often sit idle waiting for data to arrive, wasting computing resources and slowing down results. Lightmatter, valued at $4.4
On the demand side for datacenters, large hyperscale cloud providers and other corporations are building increasingly bigger large language models (LLMs) that must be trained on massive compute clusters. Still, several questions remain about DeepSeeks training, infrastructure, and ability to scale, Schneider stated.
In large-scale AI datacenters with thousands of switches, this equates to hundreds of thousands or even millions of transceivers. The former is built for AI datacenters that use Ethernet, while providing significantly more bandwidth than traditional Ethernet setups. The Ethernet switches are coming to market in 2026.
While the IEEE P802.3dj project is working toward defining 200G per lane for Ethernet by late 2026, the industry is (loudly) asking for 400G per lane yesterday, if not sooner, Jones wrote in a recent Ethernet Alliance blog. New interconnect solutions, such as Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), On-Board Optics (OBO, and Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO).

Basically, this means that demand for HBM exceeds supply for at least a year, and any orders placed now won’t be filled until 2026. Bottom line: Expect a new supply-chain headache thanks to HBM being unavailable until at least 2026. CPUs and Processors, DataCenter, High-Performance Computing No HBM, no GPU cards.
Datacenter power constraints and burgeoning AI workloads have companies scrambling to find new sources of electricity. That’s why, in an effort to find new energy sources—and in the face of the push to make it clean energy—datacenter owners are turning to nuclear power. times the 2023 level. times the 2023 level.
The rapid expansion of AI and generative AI (GenAI) workloads could see 40% of datacenters constrained by power shortages by 2027, according to Gartner. The surge is attributed to the increased deployment of large-scale language models (LLMs) and complex algorithms that require massive data processing capabilities.
growth this year, with datacenter spending increasing by nearly 35% in 2024 in anticipation of generative AI infrastructure needs. Datacenter spending will increase again by 15.5% in 2025, but software spending — four times larger than the datacenter segment — will grow by 14% next year, to $1.24

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang shared previously unreleased specifications for its Rubin graphics processing unit (GPU), due in 2026, the Rubin Ultra coming in 2027, and announced the addition of a new GPU called Feynman to the mix for 2028. Your revenues are power limited. This is no different than many other industries, Huang said.
Datacenters are hot, in more ways than one. In fact, according to the International Energy Agency, by 2026 the AI industry is expected to have grown exponentially to consume at least ten times its electricity demand in 2023. I’ve seen numbers up to 40% of the total power consumption of a datacenter going to cooling.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has upped the ante across all tech arenas, including one of the most traditional ones: datacenters. Modern datacenters are running hotter than ever – not just to manage ever-increasing processing demands, but also rising temperatures as the result of AI workloads, which sees no end in sight.
The reality of what can be accomplished with current GenAI models, and the state of CIO’s data will not meet today’s lofty expectations.” GenAI will easily eclipse the effects that cloud and outsourcing vendors had on previous years regarding datacenter systems,” according to Lovelock. “It
This next generation processor, dubbed Aurora, is not due until 2026. Wittich also noted that Aurora can be air-cooled, making it deployable in any existing datacenter without requiring a retrofit to support liquid cooling. But don’t be planning to place an order just yet. Ampere’s AI processor will also be a part of Aurora.
There are firewalls for clouds and firewalls for datacenters, firewalls for network perimeters, and firewalls for distributed offices. According to Gartner, by 2026, more than 60% of organizations will have more than one type of firewall deployment. "A

By creating an interconnect based on open standards, UALink supporters believe this will enable system OEMs, IT professionals and system integrators to create a pathway for easier integration, greater flexibility and scalability of their AI-connected datacenters. Nvidia tapped high-speed networking technology it gained in its $6.9
An inquiry into HPE’s $14 billion takeover of Juniper Networks by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), a move that potentially could delay approval of the deal, will have little impact on datacenter managers, an analyst with Info-Tech Research Group said. Not at all.”
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disclosed the company’s next-generation AI-accelerating GPU platform, set for release in 2026, during his keynote address at Computex as the massive tradeshow wrapped up earlier this month. Come 2026, we’ll see the Rubin architecture. AMD has said it will go to a similar cadence with its Instinct line.
Apollo is believed to be the first large-scale deployment of optical circuit switching (OCS) for datacenter networking. Apollo has served as the backbone of all Google datacenter networks, having been in production for nearly a decade, supporting all datacenter use cases.
billion in 2026 though the top use case for the next couple of years will remain research and development in quantum computing. The company outlined a three-year roadmap that calls for a computer with 10 logical qubits in 2024, 30 in 2025 using magic state distillation, and 100 logical qubits by 2026. The trade-off is speed.

In Bahrain, the figure is over 40%.
New York-Presbyterian will also invest in zero trust this year, adding a security operations center (SOC) for 24/7 network monitoring as well, Fleischut says. Cold: On-prem infrastructure As they did in 2022, many IT leaders are reducing investments in datacenters and on-prem technologies. “We
Looming deadline “Migration to Rise should be finished by 2026,” she wrote. In addition, the move also concerns systems running on SAP’s packaged data warehouse, BW/4HANA, she said, adding that all the applications to be moved to Rise are currently running in a Deutsche Telekom datacenter operated by T-Systems.
In fact, in a recent IDC study , 60% of CIOs stated they are already planning to modify their operating model to manage value, agility, and risk by 2026. Once an application is up and running, the cloud operating model can support greater visibility into cloud and datacenter operations, application deployment, and performance.
Traditional enterprise wide area networks, or WANs were designed primarily to connect remote branch offices directly to the datacenter. They rely on centralized security performed by backhauling traffic through the corporate datacenter, which impairs application performance and makes them expensive and inefficient.
