CoreWeave has signed a $6.3 billion order with Nvidia, making the AI chip giant a guaranteed buyer of any unused cloud capacity through 2032.

This deal strengthens CoreWeave’s role as one of Nvidia’s top partners and shields it from swings in customer demand. CoreWeave runs data centers in the U.S. and Europe, providing access to Nvidia GPUs—critical for training and running AI systems.

Analysts see the agreement as a safety net for CoreWeave, easing investor worries about reliance on big clients like Microsoft and OpenAI. It follows an $11.9 billion contract with OpenAI earlier this year, showing how deeply CoreWeave is tied into the AI ecosystem.

While demand for AI services is booming, CoreWeave’s costs are climbing fast, with operating expenses rising almost fourfold in the last quarter.

Cloud computing in 2025 is no longer just an IT choice, it’s the backbone of how companies run.

AI and machine learning are built into cloud tools, improving customer service, predicting trends, and fighting cyber risks. Edge computing is growing as businesses process data closer to where it’s created, reducing delays and boosting performance. Most companies now run on hybrid or multi-cloud setups, spreading workloads across different platforms for cost, speed, and control.

Green cloud is a major focus. Big providers are cutting emissions and pushing renewable energy, while businesses track their own cloud footprint. Security has also shifted, with companies baking it into their cloud design instead of treating it as an afterthought.

The benefits are clear: lower costs, faster product launches, better teamwork, sharper analytics, and built-in disaster recovery. Cloud platforms are also making compliance smoother across industries.

By 2025, cloud is not a competitive advantage—it’s a baseline. Those who adopt smarter, flexible, and sustainable cloud strategies will define the pace for their industries.

Microsoft and Nvidia are making major bets on the U.K. as a base for cloud and AI expansion.

Microsoft announced a $30 billion investment through 2028, its largest ever in the country. About half of that money will go into building and expanding data centers, while the other half will support research, AI model training, and talent development. The company said these upgrades will give U.K. businesses broader access to advanced AI and cloud tools.

Nvidia committed 11 billion pounds (around $15 billion) to deploy 120,000 of its most powerful GPUs. These will be delivered with partners Nscale and CoreWeave, giving the U.K. direct access to hardware critical for running large AI workloads. Nvidia is also helping to fund “Stargate U.K.,” a planned supercomputing project designed to accelerate AI progress.

The timing lines up with a broader surge in infrastructure spending worldwide. Data center investment jumped 43% year over year in Q2, hitting $158 billion. Competitors such as Amazon, Google, and Oracle are also pouring money into U.K. data centers, competing for both enterprise customers and government contracts in areas like healthcare, finance, and defense.

Cloud storage in 2025 is no longer just about storing files. It has become a key part of how companies run, plan, and compete.

Object storage is turning into a data intelligence hub, with features like tagging, ransomware protection, and AI integration. This makes storage active, not passive—its helping companies classify, analyze, and automate data in real time.

Hybrid and multi-cloud setups are now the default. Most companies run across multiple providers, blending on-premises and public clouds. This helps with compliance, flexibility, and avoiding lock-in, but also brings complexity with costs, governance, and data movement.

Storage-as-a-Service is gaining speed. Businesses like the pay-as-you-go model, but it also requires careful cost management to avoid surprises. At the same time, sustainability is now a must-have metric. Energy-efficient storage tiers and carbon tracking are shaping infrastructure choices.

Composable and cloud-native designs are spreading fast, built on modular systems that allow agility and speed. Sovereign and industry-specific clouds are also growing, especially where compliance and location awareness are critical.

In short, cloud storage has shifted from a back-office tool to a strategic pillar, directly shaping innovation, compliance, and cost control for enterprises.

Ionos, a European cloud and hosting provider, has opened a new data center in Germany.

The facility covers 8,000 square meters and is located near the DE-CIX exchange in Frankfurt, a key hub for internet traffic. It is designed to support demanding applications like AI, digital government services, and financial workloads.

The data center runs on 100% renewable energy and achieves a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.23 when fully operational. This brings Ionos’s total number of data centers to 32, with existing sites in Berlin and Frankfurt.

Ionos has deployed Nvidia DGX H200 systems in its German data centers and is collaborating with SAP, Deutsche Telekom, and Schwarz on a potential AI-focused EU project. It is also part of the Virt8ra sovereign Edge cloud platform initiative in Europe.

This expansion strengthens Ionos’s infrastructure footprint and positions it to meet growing demand for AI and high-performance cloud services in Germany.

This is the only major FinOps event left in 2025.
