As we witness the rise of AI, the need for sovereignty is no longer optional. For organizations deploying larger models with access to sensitive data, it is a requirement. Research has shown concerns around sovereignty ‘hindering innovation’ and having ‘knock-on consequences for innovation’. We don’t see it that way. Sovereignty isn’t a trade-off for innovation; in fact, for India to scale securely, the two must work in tandem.

January 2026 Release Here's a dirty secret about observability: most teams find out about outages from their customers. Not from their dashboards. Not from their alerts. From angry tweets and support tickets. The excuse is always the same: "We have metrics! We have dashboards! We even have that AI thing now!" And yet, somehow, your checkout endpoint has been returning 502s for forty-five minutes and you're learning about it from the VP of Sales who just got off a call with your biggest customer.

Building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) from scratch seems cheaper, but the maintenance costs add up. Discover why a modern PaaS on your own infrastructure is the faster, smarter path to a self-service cloud.

In this ecosystem update, we share the latest additions to the Console Connect platform, including our expansion into Malaysia with eight new data centre locations, enhancing connectivity across the Asia Pacific region and worldwide. Most new locations are in Cyberjaya, Malaysia’s prime data centre hub near Kuala Lumpur, offering robust dark fibre networks, redundant power and high-speed data transmission for secure, high-performance enterprise connectivity.

As data center professionals plan for 2026 and beyond, it’s important to understand and consider the trends shaping the industry.

In many organizations, ITSM tools and data center infrastructure tools operate in separate silos, leading to incomplete records and limited visibility. CMDB records are often incomplete or out of date because updates rely on manual entry, while incidents, changes, and service requests in ITSM lack full visibility into the physical infrastructure. Integrating DCIM with ITSM closes this gap, ensuring CMDB data matches reality and linking service workflows to accurate, actionable information.

The rapid adoption of AI is fundamentally reshaping the software development landscape, driving an unprecedented surge in code generation speed. However, this acceleration has created a significant challenge for security teams: the AI velocity paradox.
