San Jose – October 14, 2026 -- UfiSpace is demonstrating a live 102.4Tbps liquid-cooled switch with 64 x 1.6T OSFP ports at OCP Global Summit 2026, aiming to prove thermal feasibility for 1.6T AI fabrics as data centers move toward extreme power densities.

Liquid-cooled Tomahawk 6 platform runs with a cooling distribution unit

The S9331-64HO3L is a 2OU ORv3 platform built on the Broadcom Tomahawk 6 ASIC. It operates with a Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) to deliver real-time cooling. UfiSpace describes it as a validation-ready, early-access architecture and a proof-of-concept for the thermal and mechanical designs needed for 2027/2028 AI clusters.

San Jose – October 14, 2026 -- MSI is expanding its 21-inch ORv3 portfolio with DC-MHS-based 2-node platforms on AMD EPYC 9006 Series processors, supporting up to 600W TDP per node, at the 2026 OCP Global Summit (Booth #A49). The systems come in 2OU air-cooled and 1OU direct liquid-cooled versions and lead a booth lineup that also includes NVIDIA MGX rack and GPU server platforms and the XpertStation WS300 desktop AI supercomputer.

MSI offers two ORv3 nodes with 48V busbar power and PCIe 6.0

Both ORv3 platforms combine 48V busbar power, PCIe 6.0 connectivity and DC-SCM-based management. Memory speeds reach 8,000 MT/s with RDIMM and 12,800 MT/s with MRDIMM. Each node carries 2 PCIe 6.0 x16 expansion slots and front-access NVMe storage.

Phoenix – October 14, 2026 -- B2Gnow has released its Public Dashboards module, which lets public agencies, certifiers and general contractors publish program reports on an agency portal without requiring stakeholders to log in.

The module bundles prebuilt reports that use B2Gnow's Power Analytics, which is powered by Microsoft Power BI. The vendor says the reports are meant to cut the volume of staff inquiries by giving stakeholders direct, self-service access to program data.

Reports cover certification status and graduation tracking on infrastructure projects

The dashboards draw on infrastructure project program data. Examples include construction firm graduation statuses and project goal tracking, which public agencies, certified vendors and prime contractors use to complete work on public infrastructure projects.

Irvine – October 14, 2026 -- ATTOM has released version 1.0 of Semantic Views for its property data delivered through Snowflake, adding a layer of business context intended to help AI systems interpret and query complex real estate datasets.

ATTOM builds the semantic layer on Snowflake's native technology

The offering uses Snowflake's native Semantic View technology. It defines how ATTOM's property data points connect and should be used, so customers no longer have to build and maintain that knowledge themselves. ATTOM said it drew on decades of experience curating and standardizing property data.

Four customer benefits target AI development speed and accuracy

ATTOM lists four intended outcomes:

Global – October 14, 2026 -- Monogoto, a cloud-based connectivity provider operating in 200+ countries, has received recognition in this year's Merit Awards for its Software-Defined Connectivity Cloud, which manages public cellular, private LTE/5G and satellite networks from a single platform.

Monogoto replaces single-carrier lock-in with software control of device fleets

The platform lets businesses connect, manage and secure devices through software rather than depending on one carrier. Monogoto applies the logic of software-defined networking, long used in enterprise IT, to connected devices.

Co-founder and CTO Maor Efrati said customers can change networks, policies and security settings over the air across an entire fleet "without touching a single device."

San Jose – October 14, 2026 -- Wiwynn, Ayar Labs and Global Unichip Corp. (GUC) are showing the first live demonstration of a compute system that integrates GUC's ASIC with Ayar Labs' TeraPHY optical engine and SuperNova light source while streaming real-time health telemetry, at OCP Global Summit 2026.

Demo moves CPO from rack-level architecture to platform integration and functional validation

The demonstration advances the companies' earlier rack-level architecture collaboration. Wiwynn's system integrates GUC's multi-chip packages (MCPs) with TeraPHY optical engines (OEs), powered by the Ayar Labs SuperNova light source. Telemetry is continuously polled from the OEs inside the MCPs and displayed in real time, showing the optical link is up within the system.

Global – October 14, 2026 -- Tenable has released Nessus detection plugins built from CIQ's security advisories, so CVEs that CIQ has already fixed on Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro (RLC Pro) hosts now resolve in scan results instead of showing as unpatched.

Community advisories left CIQ fixes uncounted on pinned LTS hosts

RLC Pro LTS lets customers pin a host to a minor release and keep receiving security fixes on it. Even-numbered minor releases receive four years of security patching, and CIQ documents those fixes in its own advisories.

Tenable's existing Rocky Linux plugins draw on community Rocky Linux advisories, which do not include CIQ's. Nessus therefore compared a pinned host against the latest release, and a CVE that CIQ had already fixed on that release could still appear as unpatched. The same gap applied to packages CIQ adds beyond community Rocky Linux.

Singapore – October 14, 2026 -- BIGO Ads, the advertising platform of JOYY Inc. (NASDAQ: JOYY), has made its SDK generally available through Google AdMob mediation as an in-app bidding partner, giving AdMob publishers access to its advertiser demand.

Five ad formats are supported at launch, with more planned

The integration covers app open, native, rewarded, banner and interstitial ads. BIGO Ads said further formats will follow.

Developers using AdMob Mediation can connect to the SDK through in-app bidding. BIGO Ads says this brings publishers demand from global premium advertisers, which raises bidding competition and eCPM without hurting user experience.

Advertisers gain access to casual, core gaming and non-gaming inventory

On the buy side, advertisers can scale user growth across traffic from casual and core gaming apps as well as non-gaming apps that integrate the SDK via AdMob Mediation.

Frederick – October 14, 2026 -- Aligned Data Centers has become Co-Presenting Sponsor of the 2nd annual Blue & Bubbly dinner, a fundraiser for Boys & Girls Clubs of Frederick County (BGCFC), where about 56% of youth served receive financial aid toward membership dues.

Aligned backs the 2nd annual Blue & Bubbly event at 7th Sister Restaurant

BGCFC announced the partnership. The event is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at 7th Sister Restaurant. Proceeds will help keep Club programs affordable for youth and families across Frederick County.

Downers Grove – October 13, 2026 -- CompTIA has launched DataSys+ V2, an updated certification that validates skills for managing, securing and integrating data across cloud, hybrid and AI-enabled environments, as database administration expands well beyond its traditional scope.

CompTIA widens database administration to cloud, security and AI operations

The credential covers responsibilities that now include cloud operations, security, data integration, automation and support for AI-driven applications. New or expanded content includes multi-cloud database administration, database security and compliance, data integration and pipeline concepts, AI-assisted database operations, performance monitoring and automation, and hybrid-cloud data environments.
