Vertiv Next Predict for data centres and AI factories leverages AI-based anomaly detection, to continuously analyse operating conditions and identify deviations from expected behaviours at an early stage, and a predictive algorithm that assesses potential operational impact to determine risk and prioritise response. Root cause analysis isolates the contributing factors to support efficient and targeted resolution, before prescriptive actions based on system data and specific operational contexts are defined and carried through to execution, with corrective measures performed by qualified Vertiv Services personnel. Ryan Jarvis, Vice President of the Global Services Business unit at Vertiv, said: “Data centre operators need innovative technologies to stay ahead of potential risks, as compute intensity rises and infrastructures evolve. Vertiv Next Predict helps data centres unlock uptime, shifting maintenance from traditional calendar-based routines to a proactive, data‑driven strategy. We move from assumptions to informed decisions, by continuously monitoring equipment condition and enabling risk mitigation before potential impacts to operations.” Vertiv.com monday.com has announced major expansions to its global partner programme designed to accelerate partner-led growth and AI adoption in line with the company’s transformation into an AI-first work platform.

What’s missing for most organisations is the ability to govern those tools, understand whether controls are actually working and make informed decisions about risk. Arco has built a platform and a team that offers clarity, accountability and proof. That work directly supports our strategy, and it gives customers a stronger foundation for simplifying compliance and managing cyber risk. www.sophos.com Dynatrace has surpassed $1 billion in lifetime AWS Marketplace sales and earned the AWS Financial Services Competency, following sustained triple-digit growth in AWS Marketplace sales over the past three years. In a blog post, Jay Snyder, SVP of Partners and Alliances, writes: “As enterprises adopt cloud-native procurement to accelerate modernisation, demand for Dynatrace continues to expand globally. AWS Marketplace has been instrumental in supporting this growth, enabling Dynatrace to reach customers across industries in over 20 regions through streamlined tax handling, multi-currency support and other strategic offerings.” Procurement through AWS Marketplace streamlines the buying process, reduces onboarding time, optimises cloud spend (e.g. by utilising AWS committed spend to invest in an AI-powered observability platform that drives efficiency and serves as the foundation for digital resilience) and makes it easier to deploy Dynatrace across complex, multi-region AWS environments. Dynatrace recently earned AWS Agentic AI Specialisation in recognition of its expertise in observing and monitoring AI agents that act autonomously and ensuring they stay within guardrails. To this end, it has deepened its collaboration with AWS on integrations providing end-to-end visibility into an AI ecosystem. … Evolve IP has announced a partnership with Vocalised, a UK-based telecom innovator on a mission to make enterprise-grade communication accessible and affordable for small businesses, charities and social enterprises through a combination of mobile-first technology and flexible monthly contracts.

Serving as the first mile of AI security, SentinelOne’s DSPM helps organisations prevent sensitive or high-risk data from entering AI pipelines and causing irreversible risks such as data memorisation and pipeline poisoning before training begins. Together with SentinelOne’s cloud infrastructure posture management (CSPM), AI security posture management (AI-SPM), runtime workload protection, employee GenAI security and agent security, these new DSPM capabilities strengthen the ability of the AI Security Platform to secure AI systems through the full lifecycle, from data ingestion to runtime execution. Gregor Stewart, Chief AI Officer at SentinelOne, said: “As AI systems become more powerful and more autonomous, security must evolve to match that reality. AI security is not a point problem. It is a lifecycle problem. Data security is the first mile, but true protection requires securing everything AI is built on, from data and infrastructure to runtime behaviour.” sentinelone.com
