Enterprise networks have undergone repeated rebuilds to accommodate technological shifts, from mainframes to cloud and now AI and quantum-safe security. Alkira vice president of engineering Santosh Dornal writes that such project-based modernization creates operational drag and complexity, making networks harder to adapt when businesses need agility. A future-ready network should decouple services from transport, ensure policy portability and maintain elasticity, allowing it to absorb change without constant redesign, writes Dornal.

Organizations that deploy physical AI, which integrates autonomous robots, self-driving vehicles and industrial automation into everyday operations, face challenges such as ensuring safety, managing operational costs and overcoming constraints on edge devices, writes Cognizant's Anuj Seth. To scale physical AI successfully, Seth says leaders should integrate AI from the project's outset, use advanced simulation tools for testing and validation, and manage organizational change effectively.

Digital transformation is essential for business survival, with 89% of large companies undergoing digital and AI transformations, according to Harvard Business Review. Companies must choose between hybrid and multi-cloud architectures when migrating to the cloud. Hybrid cloud integrates private and public clouds, offering better control and compliance, while multi-cloud uses multiple providers to avoid vendor lock-in and enhance redundancy. Each architecture presents unique challenges, such as latency and higher costs for hybrid cloud, and security management and complexity for multi-cloud.

The server chassis market is projected to grow from $372.43 billion in 2025 to $488.92 billion by 2034, driven by increasing demand for cloud computing, AI, and edge computing. Server chassis are essential for managing airflow, cooling, and hardware accessibility, making them a critical component of digital infrastructure. The expansion of data centers, the rise of 5G, and the need for high-density computing are also growth drivers, but the market faces challenges such as supply chain disruptions and cost pressures.

Microsoft has resolved a bug that caused some Windows Server 2025 devices to boot into BitLocker recovery after the April 2026 security update. The issue was related to specific Group Policy configurations and TPM validation settings. The fix is included in the KB5094125 update for Windows Server 2025 and KB5093998 for Windows 11 23H2.

Recent AI credential infrastructure incidents involving LiteLLM and Anthropic's Claude Code show that traditional security measures are insufficient, writes Unosecur CEO Santhosh Jayaprakash, as attackers exploit credentials rather than product vulnerabilities. Jayaprakash advocates for applying the principle of least privilege to AI credentials to limit potential damage from compromised credentials.

Meta Platforms has committed $115 million to launch America's Workforce Academy, a program offering free training for data center jobs. The initiative, starting in Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas, aims to address a nationwide shortage of fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians and other skilled tradespeople. Graduates will receive industry-standard credentials and guaranteed jobs.
