Enterprise AI infrastructure spending is surging as analysts warn network automation, infrastructure maturity, and skills aren’t keeping pace.

After Broadcom pulls VDDK, FluidCloud moves VMware disks with NFC export instead.

Data platforms make decisions all day. An SQL query keeps the rows over a threshold, matches a keyword, and joins two tables on a shared ID. A pipeline sends a failed job down a retry path. Rules like these work when the answer sits in the data in a clean form.

Meta is carving out an enterprise offering after years of consumer-first focus. How seriously should IT leaders evaluate Meta as an enterprise vendor?

When the internet's domain system started back in 1985, there were only a few primary TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov and .mil. The number of TLDs grew in small fits and spurts until 2012, when 1,241 new gTLDs were added. The internet has changed over the last 14 years, and now ICANN is opening up the process for the next round of new gTLD, which could bring 1,600 new names to the internet.

Upscale stitches silicon, systems, and software together with its new Token Fabric offering. The architecture combines the company's own SkyFabriX scale-up silicon, scale-out systems built on Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet, and a common software layer for operations.

Stacklet's early-preview Token Custodian brings policy controls to AI spending, raising a question for CIOs: Who decides which work gets access to more expensive AI models?

Cohere is going after two common enterprise agent problems with North 2, the new version of its enterprise agent platform. It adds user quotas, rate limits, organization-wide caps and a redesigned agent harness. According to Cohere, North 2 uses memory to keep an agent's context across sessions and gives teams a shared library of knowledge and assets to draw on. It also runs in the cloud, on premises or fully air-gapped.

New Selector Foundry runtime environment lets network operations teams build, test, version, and govern their own AI agents inside the company's NetOps platform.

AI agents stand in for users and reach multiple systems. Governing their access requires distinct identities, scoped authority and records that show who authorized each action.

AI extinction concerns are growing among experts, but for enterprises, the focus should be on governance, accountability and risk management to prevent operational failures.

Cohere plans on making the full serving stack used in Model Vault open source so that independent auditors will be able to validate that it doesn't log, export, or leak data.

KeewanoDB gives every user, device and agent its own table, so AI agents can read event history in sequence instead of rebuilding it at query time.

At VMware Explore 2026, Broadcom detailed what’s next for networking in VCF 9.1 as well as how both AI for networking and networking for AI will have an impact. The updates focus on transit gateway flexibility, workload placement across clusters, and physical fabric integration.

AI-powered bots now operate autonomously, breaking out of controlled environments and exploiting systems without human direction -- forcing companies to rethink cybersecurity.

A cybersecurity technology proof of concept can validate a good purchasing decision -- or waste months of your team's time. Look out for these five common PoC missteps.

In the Kubernetes 1.37 release, codenamed Garhwal, new scheduling capabilities were built for AI and machine-learning training jobs that need groups of pods to start and scale together.

Older pipelines may still move data, but AI workloads reveal whether they can withstand production demands, especially when agents act on data without human review.

Snowflake's new Cortex AI Gateway feature routes AI tasks to smaller models automatically, using the same access controls that already govern enterprise data.
