San Jose, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- Eighty-three percent of organizations now run or plan to run AI workloads, a figure that climbs above 90% among large enterprises, according to The 2026 Open Data Infrastructure Report released by the OpenSearch Software Foundation and Linux Foundation Research.

AI adoption pushes organizations toward vendor-neutral data platforms

The study found that 71% of organizations now treat vendor-independent infrastructure deployment as a strategic priority, while 78% call cross-vendor, cross-tool interoperability critical when evaluating data infrastructure. Total cost of ownership (80%) and security and compliance (79%) rank as the top decision-making factors for IT leaders selecting AI infrastructure platforms.

San Jose, Calif. – September 22, 2026 -- The OpenSearch Software Foundation has recorded a 140% year-over-year jump in global project downloads, surpassing 2.4 billion total, as the vendor-neutral search and analytics platform expands its enterprise backing.

Intel, Adelean and Sidecar join as General Members strengthening technical direction

The Foundation announced three new General Members -- Adelean, Intel, and Sidecar -- who will now engage with working groups and help guide technical initiatives. Intel's membership extends its existing open source contributions to OpenSearch, which have focused on hardware-level acceleration to optimize performance.

San Francisco – September 22, 2026 -- Lumos has released MCP Governance, a new capability that checks an AI agent's permissions at the exact moment it attempts an action and blocks it if policy does not allow it, starting with support for Claude Code and Codex.

Lumos measured over 450,000 agent actions in a single week among its own staff of fewer than 200 employees

"We spent twenty years learning to govern humans, and we still have not finished," said Andrej Safundzic, CEO and co-founder of Lumos. "Now we have agents doing the same work ten times faster. That kind of scale is impossible to track with old methods."

An AI agent inherits the permissions of the employee who launched it but then operates at machine speed, meaning an error that might cause a human to delete one Salesforce record could see an agent delete a thousand records in seconds.

Amsterdam – September 22, 2026 -- Telit Cinterion demonstrated an integrated cellular-GNSS positioning system achieving 1-2 centimeter average precision, using cellular-delivered correction data instead of dedicated satellite hardware. The IoT solutions provider is showcasing the technology at Booth M6 during The Things Conference 2026, running Sept. 22-23 at De Kromhouthal in Amsterdam.

Cellular module delivers centimeter-level GNSS corrections over standard network connections

The demonstration runs on a CMB100 development kit built around Telit Cinterion's CMB100 LTE Cat 1 bis module. Using AT commands processed through the kit's onboard ST microcontroller, the module establishes a network connection via a Telit Cinterion NExT SIM and downloads Skylark Nx RTK MSM5 GNSS correction data from Swift Navigation through NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol).

Dallas – September 22, 2026 -- RMX Industries, Inc. (OTCQB: RMXI) has published Part Two of its Real-World Intelligence (RWI) brief series, detailing how its QuantrusX edge intelligence platform processes security camera data on customer premises rather than in the cloud, while keeping response decisions with trained personnel.

RMX extends its Real-World Intelligence series into campus and physical security

The new publication builds on Part One's introduction to RWI, a term RMX uses for intelligence generated at the physical edge. Part Two focuses specifically on how QuantrusX converts raw camera activity into operational intelligence for protecting people and property on campuses and other physical sites.

Horsham, Pennsylvania – September 22, 2026 -- C&D Technologies has won a Stratus Award in the AI Data Center Infrastructure (Power, Cooling, Density) category from the Business Intelligence Group, recognizing its energy storage systems built for high-density AI computing environments.

Award Cites Delivered Performance Over Promises for Data Center Power

The Stratus Awards evaluate organizations for excellence in cloud computing and related technologies. Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group, said this year's category shifted focus from where workloads run to what infrastructure can sustain independently, and that C&D Technologies met that bar by demonstrating completed technology performance rather than projected capability.

San Francisco – September 22, 2026 -- ScamAdviser's Watchmen platform won the Scam Fighter Award at the Global Anti-Scam Summit (GASS) America 2026, organized by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) in San Francisco, for its role in cutting fraud detection-to-takedown times from weeks to under 8 hours.

Watchmen deployments contributed to a 38% drop in investment scam financial losses

In deployments with financial regulators, law enforcement agencies, and municipal governments, Watchmen demonstrated national-level impact, including a 38% reduction in the share of investment scam financial losses. The system uses multi-layered filtering, expert rule engines, and Large Language Model (LLM) semantic analysis to monitor corporate communication channels and social media platforms for brand impersonation, triggering automated takedown mechanisms once threats are confirmed.

Delray Beach – September 22, 2026 -- The global modular data center market is projected to grow from $41.0 billion in 2026 to $93.6 billion by 2031, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 18.0%, according to a new MarketsandMarkets report. The market stood at $34.9 billion in 2025, underscoring an accelerating pace of adoption driven by AI workloads and cloud infrastructure buildouts.

Solution segment dominates as AI deployment demand climbs

The solution segment is set to command $29.85 billion of market value by 2026, the largest share among segment categories. All-in-one modular data centers, which integrate IT racks, power distribution, cooling, fire suppression and security into a single prefabricated enclosure, are forecast to post the highest CAGR at 19.6% through 2031. Skid-mounted systems will grow even faster, at 21.2% annually, as operators seek compact, self-contained infrastructure for rapid rollout in remote and edge locations.
