While enterprise IT leaders have spent the past two years focusing AI infrastructure discussions on GPUs, cloud platforms, and data centers, new Cisco research suggests that enterprise networks may not be ready for the next phase of AI adoption. A Cisco and Foundry survey of 3,472 IT and networking leaders across 15 countries found AI is already changing traffic patterns across campus and branch …

HPE CTO Fidelma Russo took to the main stage at HPE Discover 2026 in Las Vegas to detail a set of product announcements focused on governing data, orchestrating infrastructure, and operating AI agents in production. Where CEO Antonio Neri’s day-one keynote covered the portfolio architecture across networking, compute, and storage, Russo’s session went deeper on the software and operations layer t…

Summertime power fluctuations and vacationing staff members can be a bad combination, especially for organizations operating large edge IT environments. Power loss, not hardware failure, is the leading cause of outages on distributed sites such as retail stores and gas stations, according to Mark Christie, Field CTO at StorMagic . These disruptions are often triggered by weather events, unstable …

Building an enterprise AI factory is a complex endeavor that few organizations can tackle alone. The solution requires infrastructure capable of managing massive compute workloads generated by AI training and inferencing, high-capacity/low-latency networking within data centers and to the edge, and security to mitigate the risks that AI introduces. Abhinav Joshi, leader of AI solutions and produc…

The latest release of qvac-fabric-llm.cpp, the inference engine of the QVAC Fabric LLM, features TurboQuant integration for resource management in long-running inference sessions. Tether adopts the technology as a path to better efficiency when running large language models on devices with limited compute resources. TurboQuant is Google’s response to the Key-Value (KV) Cache’s capacity expansion …

AMD has acquired memory optimization startup MEXT, bringing predictive memory optimization software into its AI infrastructure portfolio as enterprises look for ways to manage increasingly memory-intensive AI workloads without continually expanding expensive DRAM capacity. The technology uses AI to intelligently move frequently accessed data between flash storage and DRAM, enabling organizations …

HPE is all in on AI, according to the message coming from CEO Antonio Neri. AI agents are now running alongside end users in enterprise infrastructure, changing how workloads move across networks and what compute and storage must deliver. At HPE Discover 2026 in Las Vegas this week, Neri used the opening keynote to detail the company’s response across its full stack. Key announcements include: Ne…

HPE has rolled out a super-sized package of hardware and software aimed at helping enterprise customers build and manage large AI infrastructures from the data center to the edge. At its Discover event in Las Vegas this week, the vendor announced HPE Juniper Networking QFX switches aimed at inferencing and scale-up architectures. It also deepened integration of its Juniper Networking data center …

With years of cloud experience, IT leaders thought they finally had firm control of their cloud strategies. And then came AI. Of course, cloud issues today extend beyond artificial intelligence. Where to place cloud workloads for maximum efficiency is one. Questions about governance, sovereignty, the growing sophistication of cyberthreats, and escalating cost concerns are also conspiring to make …

Cisco has released fixes for a vulnerability in its Catalyst SD-WAN Manager software after becoming aware of limited exploitation of the flaw, which could allow an authenticated attacker to create or overwrite files that may later be used to gain root privileges. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026 – 20262 , affects the web interface of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly known as SD-WAN v…

“The quantum era is no longer ahead of us, it has started,” said IBM CEO Arvind Krishna in statement tied to news that the company is committing $10 billion to advancing quantum computing and commercializing the technology. IBM will spend the money over the course of the next five years on research and development, capital expenses, partnerships, manufacturing, and mergers and acquisitions, accor…

NetBox was not originally designed to manage AI infrastructure. When the project was first released as an open source tool in 2016, the goal was straightforward: Give network teams a reliable record of what was on the network. The project spread well beyond that original scope . It is now embedded across more than 10,000 organizations, from enterprise networks to AI data centers running some of t…

Cisco Live 2026 is in the books, and it was “prove it” time for a promise made 24 months ago. At Cisco Live 2024, Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel promised that Cisco would be unrecognizable as a company—in a positive way—in two years. The innovation payload at the event suggests he has largely delivered on that pledge. Cisco is repositioning itself from a holding company of products and dashboa…

As they face increasing backlash over their resource consumption, major data center operators are scrambling to prove they’re not a drain on the environment, or, at least, not as much of one as their competition. Amazon has published some bold new claims to this end: The tech giant says it has achieved a 52% improvement in water efficiency over the last 5 years, and says its data centers are 7x m…

Marvell Technology says its newly unveiled Teralynx T100 is the industry’s first 102.4 Tbps switch silicon purpose-built for AI. The Teralynx T100 was architected for AI, with low power consumption and low latency at this bandwidth tier, to address critical bottlenecks in today’s large clusters. Data movement has become an important concern in modern AI data centers. In the past, a cluster of a f…
