Dell Technologies is acknowledging that infrastructure and storage supply still can’t keep up with agentic AI’s insatiable appetite for resources. The company this week reported a “record” AI backlog, with $95 billion in orders waiting to be filled. This dovetails with quarterly earnings reflecting a more than 50% year-over-year increase in AI demand. On an earnings call, Dell COO Jeff Clarke ack…

The Suppliers Behind the AI Buildout Nvidia gets the headlines. The companies making the electrical gear and cooling

Ishika Rana, BBA LLB (H), Xavier Law School, XIM UNIVERSITY, Odisha, India. ABSTRACT Infrastructure contracts occupy a unique place in Indian commercial law. They are not the same as mere private contracts. Their execution can affect transportation, electronic power, telecommunication, health, education, water supply and other activities dependent on people. Considering the economic implications …

The Model’s the Easy Part - How to Get, and Keep, Value Here’s how I see the evolution of AI in enterprises over the last few years: - Autumn of 2022, the world thinks it’s going into a recession. IT budgets are frozen for 2023. - November 30, 2022: ChatGPT launches, and the non-technical parts of the C-Suite have a tangible interaction point with AI - a simple chat interface available online. - …

Moving AI from a flashy demo to a high-volume production environment is a transition filled with hidden technical debt and infrastructure challenges. There’s a difference between calling the OpenAI API in a weekend prototype and serving 50,000 concurrent users who need sub-200ms latency, graceful fallbacks, and reliable output every single time. It is rarely a “model problem.” Instead, it is a pr…

When we talk about sustainable telecoms infrastructure, the conversation often jumps straight to energy consumption, carbon emissions, renewable power or more efficient network equipment. These are all important, but the May 2026 issue of NTT Technical Review reminds us that sustainability also has a very physical dimension. It is about the towers, poles, ducts, maintenance holes, conduits, closu…

NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon and bolster a rapidly growing commercial space industry is facing an infrastructure obstacle.

Deploy 2026 came and went, and we’re still buzzing. For one day at Convene 100 Stockton in San Francisco, developers, startup founders, customers, and partners filled the room to talk about a shared challenge: how to build and scale AI products without unnecessary complexity. Conversations moved from infrastructure to inference costs, production workloads, vector databases, and what teams actuall…

The growth of generative AI isn’t driven solely by AI companies with proprietary models. Open-source AI is reshaping the developer ecosystem, fueled by a growing community of builders. But what does it take to go from open models to production-ready agentic AI, and what do developers need to know to get there? This question was the focus of the DigitalOcean Deploy session, “Open by Design: How NV…
