An introduction to the NVIDIA B300: The Blackwell Ultra GPU

AI wasn't supposed to move this fast. Twelve months ago, the H100 was still the benchmark everyone measured themselves against. Six months ago, the B200 changed the calculus for serious inference workloads. Now there's the B300, NVIDIA's Blackwell Ultra GPU, and it doesn't just move the goalposts. It takes them off the pitch entirely. The B300 is the highest-performance GPU in the Blackwell family.

Why More UK Firms are Turning to Colocation for their AI Workloads

The last few years have seen AI conversations dominated by the need for investment in hyperscale infrastructure as firms race to build ever larger training models. But as those conversations evolve, the emphasis is shifting to the next phase of AI adoption, focusing on the scaling of use cases and real-world value.

Microsoft Sentinel Pricing in 2026: Full Cost Breakdown (and How to Cut It)

Microsoft Sentinel’s cost is driven almost entirely by one variable: how much data you send it. That is also why so many teams underestimate their bill. A few noisy log sources or one new integration can push daily ingestion up for weeks before anyone notices. And the first signal is usually the invoice. This guide breaks down every component of a 2026 Sentinel bill.

Palo Alto Networks Plans to Acquire Embrace: Why Digital Experience Is Becoming a Strategic Priority

When Palo Alto Networks announced its intention to acquire Embrace, my first thought wasn’t about Embrace itself. My first thought was that digital experience, including Digital Employee Experience (DEX), has officially become strategic. For years, DEX has often been viewed as something that sat on the edge of infrastructure monitoring, endpoint management, and service desk operations. Important? Absolutely. Strategic? Not always. This acquisition changes that conversation.

Megaport Signs Open Weights and American AI Leadership Letter

Megaport has signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter, supporting open-weight AI, customer choice, and the infrastructure that powers AI innovation. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how organizations build, deploy, and scale digital infrastructure. As AI adoption accelerates, the conversation is evolving beyond model performance alone to the broader ecosystem needed to support long-term innovation.

Software is a team sport. Most AI tools forgot that.

Every AI coding tool ships the same promise: your developers, faster. Autocomplete in the IDE, agents in the terminal, a working prototype before lunch. And it delivers, at least for the person holding the keyboard. The problem is that most of what it takes to ship software was never a solo activity, and that is the part the market keeps skipping.

Azure cost calculator: how to estimate Azure spend before the bill does it for you

An Azure cost calculator is a tool that estimates your monthly Microsoft Azure bill before you deploy anything. Microsoft's official Azure pricing calculator covers 600+ services and produces free, exportable estimates. It is excellent at telling you what Azure charges and terrible at telling you what your teams will consume. This guide covers how to use it, what real workloads cost in 2026, and why estimates and invoices keep breaking up.

What is FP&A? Financial planning and analysis in the AI spend era

FP&A stands for financial planning and analysis. It is the corporate finance function responsible for budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and decision support. If you're asking what is FP&A in practice: FP&A teams build the annual operating plan, project revenue and expenses, explain gaps between plan and actuals, and give leadership the numbers behind strategic decisions. Accounting reports what happened. FP&A models what happens next.
