Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft are expanding their own AI chip programs in 2026 while still buying Nvidia accelerators at enormous scale, turning Nvidia’s best customers into both its growth engine and its most credible long-term competitive threat. That is the uncomfortable truth inside the...

Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft are accelerating custom AI chip programs in 2026 while still buying enormous volumes of Nvidia GPUs for cloud AI infrastructure, creating a near-term boom for Nvidia and a longer-term fight over who captures the economics of artificial intelligence compute. The...

OnliveServer has announced RDP server hosting availability in new data center locations in Amsterdam, Singapore, Dallas, and Frankfurt, expanding its Windows remote desktop, VPS, VDS, cloud, and bare metal offerings across a claimed 35-plus-location global footprint. The announcement is less...

Microsoft’s Azure Linux may be approaching its most consequential architectural shift since the CBL-Mariner project first became visible outside Redmond. Recent Fedora meeting logs and a Fedora 45 change proposal suggest Microsoft is exploring a much tighter relationship with Fedora Linux...

Oracle’s latest surge looks less like a one-week trading anomaly and more like a market verdict on the company’s evolving identity. Investors are increasingly treating Oracle as an infrastructure utility for the AI era, not just a legacy enterprise software vendor, and this week’s sharp rally...

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy’s latest shareholder letter is more than a routine annual update; it is a declaration that Amazon intends to keep reinventing itself, even when the easiest path would be incremental improvement. In the letter, Jassy argues that durable innovation means being willing to...

Global cloud infrastructure spending is entering a new phase of growth, and the latest numbers suggest the AI buildout is still gathering momentum rather than peaking. Omdia says Q4 2025 cloud infrastructure services spending reached $110.9 billion, up 29% year over year, as hyperscalers raced...

The cloud infrastructure market is entering a new phase in which raw capacity is no longer enough to win enterprise workloads. As AI agents move from pilot projects into production, hyperscalers are being forced to spend heavily on compute, storage, networking, tooling and global delivery just...

Behind OpenAI’s meteoric rise in generative AI, one strategic vulnerability stands out more than any model benchmark or product launch: the company is still deeply tied to Microsoft for capital, cloud capacity, and operational leverage. That dependence is increasingly awkward because the two...

Microsoft Azure saying it has validated and readied its datacenters for NVIDIA’s new Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale AI system marks a major inflection point: hyperscalers are no longer preparing for incremental GPU upgrades — they are rearchitecting entire racks, networks, and operations to host...

Microsoft’s latest move to widen AI access in Africa reads like a play straight out of the cloud wars: a large-scale skilling promise, telco bundling to accelerate distribution, and heavy investment in local infrastructure — all timed to blunt the influence of a rising Chinese open‑source rival...

Microsoft’s chip ambitions have hit a visible snag: the company’s next‑generation Maia family accelerator, internally codenamed Braga, has been pushed out of mass production into 2026 after a reported six‑month slip — a delay that widens the performance and timing gap with Nvidia’s dominant...

The three biggest cloud players — Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft — are not burning cash for drama: they are rebuilding the industrial plumbing of the 21st‑century internet to win the AI economy. What looks like a ruthless capital deluge — $100 billion from Amazon, roughly $80 billion from...

Kevin Scott’s career is less a single-story biography and more a roadmap of the last two decades of enterprise tech: from scaling ad systems and mobile infrastructure to shaping Microsoft’s strategy for an AI-first world, his influence is visible across cloud infrastructure, developer tools, and...

Microsoft’s cloud and AI engines — the same infrastructure the company says it polices through terms of service — are now the focus of a renewed debate over corporate responsibility after leaked documents showed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) dramatically expanded its Azure...

Microsoft’s Azure business may be entering a phase that will force Wall Street to reset both expectations and valuations — but whether that reset rewards Microsoft or punishes it depends on how the company turns a torrent of AI-driven demand into durable revenue and profits. Background /...

Microsoft has brought two new data halls into operation in the state of São Paulo as part of its multi‑year push to expand Azure and AI infrastructure in Brazil, a development that advances local cloud capacity while raising fresh questions about scale, sustainability, and policy incentives...

Microsoft has quietly moved the next piece of its Brazil strategy into production: during the company’s AI Tour in São Paulo, Microsoft confirmed that two data halls are now in operation at a São Paulo site as part of its previously announced R$14.7 billion (roughly $2.7 billion) investment in...

The market’s recent pullback has a simple demand: show the receipts. Investors no longer reward mere promise; they reward the companies that can turn AI spending into repeatable revenue and improving margins. The Korea IT Times piece that sparked this conversation neatly captured that...

Cloud revenue surged across the board in Q4 2025, but the big news wasn’t just higher numbers — it was the way AI demand reshaped market dynamics, pushed hyperscalers into aggressive capital spending, and produced a surprising narrative winner: Google Cloud. The latest earnings season confirmed...
