CVE-2026-102255 , rated 10 in severity, the highest possible on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), is a pre-authentication server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the SMA1000 Appliance Work Place interface. An unintended access path could allow attackers to order the appliance to issue requests…

Arista sees Ethernet as the scale-up networking fabric of choice for AI and continues to build up its alternative to proprietary interconnects such as Nvidia’s NVLink technology. This week, Arista rolled out new Ethernet reference architectures as well as a raft of integration partnerships with industry players—including AMD, Arm, Broadcom, Meta, Microsoft, and Qualcomm—aimed at helping large ent…

Dell Technologies is expanding its Dell AI Data Platform with a set of capabilities designed to give enterprise AI agents a more complete view of corporate data, while accelerating the preparation of that data for AI workloads. The new capabilities are part of Dell’s broader AI Data Platform, which serves as the data foundation of its Dell AI Factory strategy. The company is adding three new feat…

With an emphasis on high performance and embedded security, HPE is rolling out the next generation of its ProLiant server family anchored by AMD’s EPYC 9006 processor. The ProLiant Gen 13 portfolio includes four new models that boost core density, memory bandwidth, and I/O for running heavy enterprise-class workloads. At the high end of the new server portfolio are the HPE ProLiant DL585 and DL58…

As the demand for AI infrastructure continues to outstrip available capacity, AMD is planning a substantial increase in CPU and GPU supply in 2027. During her recent visit to Taiwan, AMD CEO Lisa Su confirmed that the company is working to expand supply across its ecosystem and is now planning capacity three to five years ahead. Su told reporters that AMD has increased its supply and capacity in …

Cisco continues to fill out its portfolio of quantum network technology , this week adding a core control mechanism for distributed quantum networks. Cisco’s prototype Quantum Network Controller is designed to coordinate all components of a quantum network—including quantum computers, quantum memories, and quantum switches—and make them usable on one network, without an application having to unde…

Google is overhauling its cloud modernization portfolio by bringing its existing migration and modernization tools along with new agentic migration tools and a new Modernization Hub under a new Google Cloud Modernize umbrella to accelerate infrastructure and application transformation at enterprises. The new agentic tools include an EKS-to-GKE Migration Agent, designed to help enterprises move Ku…

Security teams face a time problem, and AI is making it worse. Attackers use AI to find flaws and write exploits faster than any human-staffed security operations center can respond, while most defensive tools still collect telemetry, ship it somewhere, normalize it, and only then analyze it. Each step adds delay, and in security, delay is exposure. GTT Communications believes the answer is to st…

Australian micro data center specialist Zella DC has introduced a modular data center platform designed to bring more computing capacity into locations where conventional racks and purpose-built facilities are difficult to deploy. Called Zella Stack, the new system uses a stackable architecture that lets customers begin with a relatively small amount of infrastructure and add capacity as computin…

AWS is applying AI to the challenge of evaluating and improving cloud environments with a public preview of a new agentic service aimed at automating the discovery and optimization of architectural issues. Despite its name, AWS makes no claims for the architectural qualities of its Well-Architected Agent, the name of which refers to a long line of frameworks and tools for cloud architecture manag…

IBM’s mainframe has come a long way from the time when it operated as a specialized networking island. Today, IBM Z is designed to be a high-performance participant in the wider enterprise network, using standard Ethernet and IP while adding sophisticated technologies for low-latency and high-throughput communications. IBM’s current mainframe networking strategy prioritizes support for convention…

Chinese memory-chip manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has begun mass production of its fifth-generation DRAM technology platform, marking another step in the company’s effort to stand alongside the big three memory makers and help ease the enormous supply shortage. CXMT made the announcement at the 2026 World Manufacturing Convention in Hefei, Anhui Province, China, where it also d…

The concept of probabilistic automation can be off-putting, even divisive. Consider self-driving cars. They’re part of the progression of vehicle automation that includes parallel parking assist, driver assistance and hands-free driving. However, when it comes to self-driving cars, getting on board requires a huge leap of faith that many people aren’t willing to take. Probabilistic automation is …

It used to take a large team of engineers years to build a new networking startup. AI changes that game entirely. Barrett Lyon has founded (and sold) multiple networking vendors over the last two decades, including Prolexic ( acquired by Akamai ), defense.net (acquired by F5 Networks), and netography (acquired by Vectra AI). Now he has turned his attention to AI with a new startup launching this …

Bob, IBM’s agentic software development platform is now available to run on premises and in private clouds, sovereign clouds, and air-gapped environments to give users more control over their data. IBM is hoping to lure companies operating in heavily regulated environments or managing sensitive source code and regulated data. In such environments, running AI operations means that they are under s…
