The net-snmp project now offers FIPS 140-3 tested cryptography through wolfCrypt FIPS, enabling compliant network monitoring for regulated environments.
Cloudflare has prototyped a cache transcoding system using Zstandard compression to reduce on-disk storage and inter-data-center bandwidth for eligible text assets, with initial tests showing a 2.8× size reduction at a modest CPU cost.
Cloudflare has introduced Adaptive Intelligence, a bot detection system designed to make automated attacks slower and more expensive for attackers by continuously evolving defenses and limiting feedback loops.
Melbicom has introduced a premium CDN network with pricing tiers based on destination zones, offering rates as low as EUR 0.03 per GB in 55 territories. A separate volume network targets bulk delivery with pay-as-you-go rates starting at EUR 0.005/GB.
Digital Realty has obtained a 50 megawatt capacity allocation for a new Singapore data center, part of a government-led expansion program with stringent sustainability requirements. The award reflects Singapore's strategy to balance growth with energy constraints while favoring established operators.
Santa Barbara-based Quintessent has raised $40 million in Series A funding to commercialize a quantum dot DWDM comb laser aimed at reducing component count and energy use in AI data center interconnects.
APNIC and SANOG signed an MoU to boost technical capacity, IPv6 deployment, and routing security across South Asia, addressing member priorities in enterprise adoption and operational training.
AWS has added a new availability zone in its London region and a Local Zone in Las Vegas, extending its cloud infrastructure for AI and latency-sensitive workloads. The expansions reflect distinct strategies for regional capacity and edge computing.
Microsoft will end its license-included Azure VMware Solution (AVS) in October 2026, requiring customers to acquire Broadcom Cloud Foundation licenses and transition to a bring-your-own-license model by August 2027. The move aligns with Broadcom’s push to sell VMware products only as part of its flagship suite.
SAP has deployed Layer 1 encryption on fiber-optic connections between its Walldorf and St. Leon-Rot data centers in Germany, targeting government and critical-infrastructure customers with quantum-resistant protection for data in transit. The move addresses a gap in sovereign cloud security by securing the physical network path below application layers.
Flexential has closed an $800 million credit facility to fund over 130 MW of new data center capacity across Atlanta, Portland, and Denver, reflecting growing lender confidence in digital infrastructure despite power and construction challenges.
Cloudflare’s three-month study shows early adoption of RFC 9234 for automated BGP route-leak prevention, but two major transit providers still remove the critical OTC path attribute, undermining global protection.
Network operators are urged to deploy Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) now to secure BGP routing before quantum computing breaks current cryptographic trust chains, warns a new analysis.
Nebius has secured colocation capacity at Vantage Data Centers’ CWL1 campus in Newport, South Wales, to deploy high-density NVIDIA-based AI infrastructure. The agreement marks the first commercial capacity commitment in the UK’s South Wales AI Growth Zone but lacks details on power, rack density, or deployment timelines.
Cloudflare has obtained FedRAMP High authorization for its government services, running on the same global network as its commercial platform. The certification, sponsored by NIST and effective 6 August 2026, marks a departure from the industry norm of isolated government clouds and positions the company to pursue Defense Department Impact Level 4 clearance.
Bridge Data Centres and Morong Electric have introduced a factory-assembled power and cooling module designed to eliminate delays in high-density AI infrastructure rollouts. The system targets the growing gap between GPU delivery and electrical readiness in data centres.
TierPoint has launched a continuous DDoS mitigation service for enterprises using dedicated internet, colocation, private cloud, or hybrid environments. The offering, built on Corero’s SmartWall ONE platform, aims to eliminate latency and manual response delays by filtering malicious traffic in real time across the provider’s network.
Two IETF drafts introduce a binary encoding and Merkle-tree compression scheme that reduces RPKI storage needs by up to 90%, enabling long-term historical archives of global routing security data.
Infomaniak has completed a reverse merger to list on the Swiss stock exchange while ensuring its privacy-focused governance remains intact through a foundation-held majority.
Equinix reported stronger-than-expected Q2 growth, driven by enterprise demand for AI infrastructure and cloud connectivity, prompting an upward revision of its 2026 financial guidance and long-term targets.
