interface for accessing leading LLMs, AI agents and AI-connected applications. Embedded governance, compliance and security controls at every interaction layer enable businesses to harness the productivity of GenAI while safeguarding sensitive data, workflows and business knowledge. … Syncro and Guardz bring cybersecurity into MSP workflows MSP platform provider Syncro and cybersecurity company Guardz are enabling MSPs to embed cybersecurity directly into their existing service desk workflow by making Guardz available through the Syncro Marketplace. MSPs can now purchase, provision and bill Guardz directly within Syncro. Once setup is complete through the Guardz portal, security incidents detected by Guardz automatically create tickets in Syncro’s PSA, giving teams full visibility into security incidents through the same system they use for dayto-day service delivery. MSPs no longer need to monitor a separate console for each security control, manage alerts across multiple platforms or manually replicate findings into their service desk. Alerts from key security domains, such as email, endpoint, identity, cloud and more, surface automatically as Syncro tickets and flow into the workflow teams already use to manage their clients. The addition of Guardz’s 24/7 Managed Detection and Response capability (available on select plans) enables MSPs to deliver continuous security coverage to clients without having to build or staff their own SOC. syncrosecure.com … TCO Certified extends sustainability certification to cloud services TCO Certified, the sustainability certification for IT products, is promoting more sustainable IaaS cloud solutions with the launch of the world’s first sustainability certification for cloud resources.

The landmark project will provide high-density colocation capacity for universities, public sector bodies and businesses running AI inference and data-intensive workloads and supply surplus heat generated directly into the Bradford Energy Network, a low-carbon district heating network developed by 1Energy and launching in Autumn 2026. Unlike conventional data centres, which consume vast amounts of water and power simply to cool their servers, Deep Green’s model eliminates water usage and reuses up to 95% of heat generated for local benefit. Its new facility, to be developed on Listerhills Road adjacent to the new Thornton Road energy centre, will integrate with the Bradford Energy Network via a closed-loop cooling system. Rather than venting heat into the atmosphere, Deep Green captures it and transfers it into the local heat network for delivery to homes and businesses across Bradford. Once operational, the site is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 4,500 tonnes per year. Deep Green, which also has projects in Manchester, London and the USA, selects sites based on power and fibre availability and the ability to reuse heat locally. By co-locating with heat demand the company avoids the inefficiencies and infrastructure costs associated with transporting heat over long distances. www.deepgreen.energy … NexGen Cloud boosts investment in UK with new London HQ As the government accelerates its push for AI sovereignty and competitiveness in the global AI race, NexGen Cloud, a UK-owned sovereign AI GPU infrastructure provider, has made its most significant investment in the UK to date with the opening of new headquarters in the City of London.
