Observability spent most of the past decade as a post-production discipline, catching outages and cutting the time engineers need to find a root cause. That focus is shifting as agentic AI systems move into the software development lifecycle, pulling production context earlier into coding, testing, and deployment work. That shift is helping to fuel growing demand for observability vendor Groundco…

DNS underlies nearly every action taken on a network. A website visit, an email, a call to an AI application—all of it starts with a DNS lookup. That dependency cuts both ways. Attackers rely on the same lookups to route victims through malicious infrastructure, and increasingly they do it using techniques that were never supposed to work on the DNS system in the first place. According to Infoblo…

Some 80% of New Zealand’s wine is grown and produced in the Marlborough region, making Port Nelson a critical trading gateway for the island nation. The busy port also ships forestry products, dairy, and seafood. In 2025, during a time of global trading challenges and domestic economic difficulties, 3.2m tons of goods were moved through the port, with wine as one of the best performers. “We’ve ju…

Corporate data centers continue to lose workload share to colocation and cloud providers. Meanwhile, data center operators face mounting challenges tied to AI adoption , including increasingly difficult capacity planning, persistent staffing shortages, and more expensive outages. Third-party data center facilities and services—including colocation, cloud, hosting, and SaaS providers—account for 4…

Most IT operators understand that critical infrastructure should be isolated in crisis situations, but many don’t know how to do it in a way that maximizes security and minimizes disruption. Now, several global agencies are offering a step-by-step action plan, CI Fortify . Released by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and several Five Eyes security agencies across the…

Dell’s PowerStore enterprise all-flash storage system now supports Nutanix Cloud Platform 7.6, with validated deployment and managed through Dell Private Cloud, the vendors announced. “This collaboration makes PowerStore the second Dell storage platform to integrate with Nutanix,…

AI-based attacks that rely on deepfake impersonation and AI-enabled malware are getting faster and cheaper to launch, which has driven the cost of finding and fixing enterprise data breaches to a record high. AI-enabled breaches cost an average of $6 million, which is roughly $1 million more than the global breach average of $4.99 million, according to IBM’s 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report. The…

In technology, the pendulum rarely stays at one extreme for long. When Secure Access Service Edge ( SASE ) entered the enterprise networking lexicon a few years ago, the industry quickly pivoted to it. The prevailing consensus held that traditional on-premises security hardware was headed for extinction. Industry watchers envisioned a world where even corporate headquarters and massive branch off…

IT teams responsible for data centers, colocation facilities, and test labs face a persistent challenge when it comes to providing affordable, timely maintenance and troubleshooting for their organizations’ IT infrastructure. Facilities aren’t often staffed around the clock, and sending someone on-site to address every hardware failure or issue is slow and expensive, especially for colocation cus…

The largest US power grid operator has proposed curtailing electricity supply to certain new large power users, including AI data centers, during grid emergencies beginning in June 2027, as surging demand threatens to outpace available generation capacity. The proposal targets facilities that will fail to secure sufficient independent or contracted power supplies. PJM Interconnection will develop…

The ‘no man’s land’ beneath the OS on enterprise servers is becoming the malicious actors’ next target. Attackers are gaining a foothold into broader data center environments by exploiting Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) that are largely unprotected, still running decades-old protocols and susceptible to a vulnerability published 13 years ago, according to data center security company Lav…
