Europe pushes quantum and AI closer as cloud platforms expand experimental compute
OVHcloud has made a further move to expand access to quantum computing through the cloud, integrating a photonic quantum system developed by Quandela into its existing platform. The addition of the Belenos quantum computer, offering 12 qubits of compute capacity, forms part of OVHcloud’s Quantum Platform, which provides quantum computing resources through a cloud-based, consumption […]
The expansion of AI is forcing computing into spaces not designed to support it
Vertiv has introduced a new wall-mounted cooling system for small IT environments across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, reflecting a broader shift in how artificial intelligence and distributed computing are reshaping the physical demands of digital infrastructure. The system, Vertiv CoolPhase Wall, is designed for edge deployments and compact data rooms where traditional cooling […]
New approach to power use suggests AI growth may not overwhelm the grid
Stellium Datacenters has reported a 75 per cent reduction in carbon emissions at its Newcastle-based facility after adopting a new method of sourcing electricity, offering a potential model for how AI infrastructure can expand without placing unsustainable strain on energy systems. The site, one of the UK’s larger purpose-built high performance computing data centre campuses, […]
Austrian data centre reveals how AI is redrawing Europe’s industrial map
Google has begun construction of a new data centre in Kronstorf, Austria, marking a further expansion of the physical infrastructure required to support artificial intelligence and digital services across Europe. The facility is intended to meet growing demand for Google’s platforms, including Search, YouTube, Maps and Workspace, while extending the company’s AI capabilities. It also […]
AI moves onto the factory floor as edge infrastructure reshapes industrial computing
Siemens has introduced an updated version of its Industrial Automation DataCenter, signalling a shift in how artificial intelligence is being deployed within manufacturing environments, moving from centralised systems into real-time operations at the edge. Presented at Hannover Messe 2026, the platform has been redesigned as an AI-ready infrastructure, integrating accelerated computing from NVIDIA and cybersecurity […]
The systems that no longer wait for humans
The infrastructure that once existed to support human workflows is being rewritten to support machine ones. As AI agents begin to plan, execute and iterate independently, the challenge for enterprises is no longer adoption, but whether their operating models can survive the transition. There has been a quiet but consequential shift in how artificial intelligence […]
