AWS Launches European Sovereign Cloud Amid Data Control Push - 📅 - As concerns continue to mount across Europe about the dominance of U.S.-based cloud providers and the potential exposure of European data to foreign legal jurisdictions, Amazon Web Services has formally launched what it describes as its most ambitious response yet to EU sovereignty demands.The AWS European Sovereign Cloud, now generally available, represents a structurally separate cloud environment designed to operate entirely within the European Union, under European governance, and with technical and legal safeguards intended to satisfy some of the strictest regulatory requirements in the region.
First unveiled in 2023, the initiative has been closely watched by policymakers, [...]
Blackstone Commits €4 Billion to German AI Data Center - 📅 - US-based investment firm Blackstone is making a major long-term bet on Germany's digital infrastructure with a planned €4 billion ($4.65 billion) investment in a large-scale data center project in Lippetal, according to sources cited by the German business daily Handelsblatt.The new datacenter development in Germany underlines the growing strategic importance of European data center capacity as demand accelerates for cloud computing and artificial intelligence workloads.
The project would center on a 27-hectare site located in an industrial park in North Rhine-Westphalia, a region that has emerged as a key hub for digital and industrial infrastructure due to its central location, strong [...]
U.S. Imposes 25% Tariff on NVIDIA and AMD AI Chips Over Security - 📅 - The White House has announced a new round of tariffs targeting advanced artificial intelligence hardware, imposing a 25% levy on high-performance AI processors from NVIDIA and AMD, a move framed explicitly around national security and technological sovereignty.
The measure, signed by President Donald Trump, applies to select semiconductors that meet defined performance thresholds, including NVIDIA's H200 AI processor and AMD's MI325X, as well as systems that incorporate those chips when imported into the United States.
The decision follows a nine-month investigation conducted under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, a provision that allows trade restrictions when imports are [...]

Want a lower carbon footprint? Choose M247 Global cloud services - 📅 - What is the carbon footprint of your company's servers? What is the carbon footprint of your company's servers? And how easy is it, really, to find out? Few companies have clear data on the environmental impact of their IT infrastructure, yet more and more organizations are asking these questions as cloud sustainability becomes a strategic priority.
Calculating the exact carbon footprint can be complex, but at a high level there are a few key aspects to consider when estimating the impact of servers: where the servers are hosted (on-premises or in the cloud) and what type of energy is used—green energy (from renewable sources) or energy generated by burning fossil fuels.
