CoreWeave FullyConnected 2026 — AI Loop and Forge

Jasdeep Singh, Dave McCarthy — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

At its first FullyConnected conference, held in San Francisco, CoreWeave launched CoreWeave Forge, a development layer built around what it calls the AI loop (run, observe, curate, improve, and evaluate), and made NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and the NVIDIA Vera CPU part of its infrastructure portfolio. Forge is now generally available, combines technology from Weights & Biases, OpenPipe, and marimo with CoreWeave's own training, inference, and sandbox services. Together, the announcements show CoreWeave extending from GPU capacity into the software layers enterprises need to run AI in production, while keeping its infrastructure as the foundation.

Dell Expands Its AI Data Platform with Enterprise Context, GPU Data Prep, and Managed Azure File Storage

Jason Echols, Carol Sliwa — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Dell Technologies is extending the Dell AI Data Platform beyond storage and data engines to encompass the definitions and relationships that explain what enterprise data means, a move designed to better position Dell for the context layer AI agents depend on. Dell will need to continue to emphasize its differentiated capabilities to enterprise buyers, as major storage and data platform vendors converge to compete in that layer and support the same NVIDIA reference architectures.

IDC Market Glance: Semiconductors and Enabling Technologies, 3Q26

Nina Turner, Phil Solis, Jim Hines, Helen Chiang, Galen Zeng, Jeff Janukowicz — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The IDC Market Glance is a taxonomy document intended to visually depict a concise current-state view of the semiconductor market. For this market glance the semiconductor market the approach to define segments and subsegments is its functionality to use-case across the main industries that demand semiconductors rather than more traditional supply-chain approach.

The reader will have a clear picture of the main suppliers and which particular segments they are supplying which helps understand how the are developing their products and how they are profiling its offering. Additionally readers will gain insights from the IDC's take on the market's growth, strategies and innovation all supported by IDC's data.

IDC Survey: AI-Enabled Human Rights Management Trends, 2026

Bjoern Stengel — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey discusses AI-enabled human rights management trends in 2026. Human rights management and labor practices monitoring have emerged as the single most commonly cited AI-for-sustainability priority in IDC's 2026 AI and Sustainability Survey, named by 37.4% of respondents (n = 598) — ahead of product quality/safety and ethical business conduct (35.0% each) — and up 34.4% from a 27.8% baseline in 2024. Yet buyers in this space are not chasing transformation: Only 29.5% cite accelerating sustainable transformation as their primary driver, ranking human rights 12th of 13 ESG-AI topics on that measure.

Industry demand is led by utilities (51.4%), manufacturing (process, 50.8%), financial services (securities and investment, 48.0%), and software/IT services (47.4%), with manufacturing — discrete and retail trade rounding out the case study set — spanning regulated, labor-intensive, and supply chain–exposed sectors where labor-practices risk (unionized workforces, lending/investment screening, and consumer supply chain exposure) is driving AI investment in monitoring, validation, and traceability tools.

IDC Survey：2026年国内データセンター管理者調査

Mimei Ito — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査は、国内のデータセンター（DC）管理者を対象に、DCの運用課題、AI（Artificial Intelligence）サーバーの高密度化、省エネ・電力調達、新設計画、外部DCの利用実態を調査し、DC用途区分（事業者DC、サービスプロバイダーDC、エンタープライズDC）別に把握することを目的としている。

AIインフラ配備の拡大、コンテナ／モジュール型DC導入への関心の高まりなど、DCの利用についての要件や選択肢が広がっている。「ファシリティベンダーおよびDC事業者は、DCの用途ごとの優先度（コスト、納期、脱炭素、契約の柔軟性）に合わせて、提供するサービスや製品の内容をデザインする必要がある」とIDC Japan、Software, Services, and IT Spendingのリサーチマネージャーである伊藤未明は述べている。

Modernizing Campus Networks — Security, AI, and Strategic Planning in a Refresh Cycle

Brandon Butler, Taranvir Singh, Chris Barnard — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective guides network leaders through this modernization cycle, sharing survey findings on refresh priorities, examining how enterprises reshape campus strategies for AI workloads and management, and offering frameworks for evaluating AI-enabled investments.

“Campus, branch, and edge networks are undergoing a transformative upgrade cycle as organizations deploy Wi-Fi 7, retire legacy infrastructure, and future proof for AI workloads. AI is fundamentally reshaping network management through agentic-powered automation and optimization, while integrated security protects against both traditional and AI-generated threats. To support high-bandwidth, low-latency agentic workloads while defending against evolving threats, enterprises require unified, AI-powered network platforms with native integrated security and comprehensive analytics — essential for future-ready networks.” — Brandon Butler, senior research manager, Network Infrastructure and Services, IDC
