Microsoft's Azure cloud felt the ripple effects of a string of undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea on September 6, 2025, as traffic carrying vital Asia–Europe and Middle East connections was forced onto longer, more congested routes — a stark reminder that even the largest cloud platforms remain...
Microsoft’s Azure cloud briefly showed the limits of virtual resilience when several undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on 6 September 2025, forcing traffic onto longer detours, producing higher-than-normal latency for cross‑region traffic, and triggering urgent...
A concentrated cluster of undersea cable failures in the Red Sea has throttled internet performance across South Asia and the Gulf, forcing cloud providers and carriers to reroute traffic and leaving businesses and consumers to contend with higher latency, intermittent packet loss, and slower...

Microsoft’s terse Service Health advisory on September 6, 2025 — warning that “network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea” — was the first public signal of a disruption that quickly rippled through global cloud...
Multiple undersea fibre‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed in early September, producing widespread slowdowns for Internet users and measurable latency for cloud customers — a disruption that exposed how the physical backbone of the Internet can become a single point of failure for modern...
Microsoft’s Azure engineers told customers to expect higher latency after multiple international subsea cables in the Red Sea were cut, then updated their status to show no active Azure platform issues — a rapid swing that highlights both the resilience of modern cloud routing and the fragility...
Multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on September 6, 2025, triggering widespread latency and connectivity problems for traffic between Asia, the Middle East and Europe and forcing cloud operators — most visibly Microsoft Azure — to reroute traffic while repair and...
Artificial intelligence would have told Pete Carroll to hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch.
The verdict — blunt, repeatable and nearly universal among modern analysts — is now being echoed by the same generative models that pundits and teams are experimenting with at the edge of NFL operations. Yet...

DeepIQ and OMV Energy have announced a joint effort with Microsoft to deploy agentic AI across OMV Energy’s drilling operations, beginning with a pilot for well construction optimization that DeepIQ says will automate the corporate learning loop and deliver context‑aware workflows for well...
The NFL’s decision to deploy Microsoft Copilot across every club sideline this season marks one of the clearest inflection points yet in the marriage of professional sports and artificial intelligence, trading manual film-scrubbing and static stat sheets for AI-assisted filters, Excel-powered...
Microsoft's HoloLens may have been sidelined, but a Microsoft designer's fan-made vision — the Copilot Veja — shows how the next wave of mixed‑reality thinking could trade heavy headsets for discreet, AI‑supercharged earbuds that "see" the world and speak answers back in real time.
