30.10.2020 15:44:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Cognite announced it is working with Microsoft to catalyze the full-scale digital transformation of heavy-asset industries. The Cognite Data Fusion platform, hosted on Microsoft Azure, will deliver industrial data operations and OT/IT data contextualization for hybrid AI development, combining human and Artificial Intelligence to collectively achieve superior results and create faster time to value.
This collaboration builds on the common goal to create transformation through digitalization as demonstrated by Microsoft’s recent commitment to The Center for Fourth Industrial Revolution for the Ocean (C4IR), and the Ocean Data Platform (ODP), which is also powered by Cognite technology. ODP is the open and collaborative platform that harnesses the power of data liberation and contextualization connecting data, people and technology for a healthy ocean and is run on Cognite Data Fusion. ODP is a cornerstone of Microsoft’s water sustainability commitment. Both companies are committed to technology-based systems to improve ocean health.
Cognite Data Fusion, the software that industrial customers use to power data driven operations, enabling them to increase production, reduce waste, and make their operations more sustainable, now hosted on Microsoft Azure, creates an open, unified real time, updated industrial data model that humans and machine learning applications can access easily.
“Working with Microsoft is a natural fit as we are both committed to an ecosystem of data driven innovation and sustainability,” says John Markus Lervik, CEO. “Cognite Data Fusion on Microsoft Azure presents a fantastic opportunity for us to deliver value, securely and at scale by playing to each of our strengths.”
Casey McGee, Vice President Global ISV Sales, Microsoft, said, “We are pleased to work with Cognite as part of our commitment to C4IR and ODP. Through Microsoft Azure, combined with Cognite Data Fusion, customers can improve their operations and decision making, unlocking ROI at scale from their most strategic asset: their refined data."

Uptime Announces Annual Outage Analysis Report 202613.5.2026 13:02:00 EEST | Press release
Uptime Institute today announced the release of its 8th Annual Outage trends report, an ongoing series from Uptime Institute Intelligence analyzing IT service resiliency. Outage prevention continues to be a central focus for data center operators as demand growth, AI-driven workloads and power constraints reshape risk profiles. As design and operations improve, operators must still navigate greater system complexity, grid instability, deeper interdependencies and evolving external threats. The 8th Annual Outage Analysis 2026 report analyzes recent data on the causes, frequency and consequences of IT and data center outages. For the fifth consecutive year, Uptime Intelligence Research suggests that outage frequency on a per-site basis is declining. However, the pace of improvement has slowed compared to previous years and approximately 1 in 10 note their last outage had serious or severe impacts. In publicly reported outages, external infrastructure failures are becoming more prominent.

NIPPON KINZOKU Strengthens Promotion of "L-Core" as an Eco-Product: Functional Stainless Steel Achieving High Conductivity via Surface Modification13.5.2026 11:01:00 EEST | Press release
NIPPON KINZOKU CO., LTD. (TOKYO: 5491) (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) is proud to announce the strengthened promotion of "L-Core," a functional stainless steel that utilizes proprietary surface modification technology to achieve extremely low contact resistance while maintaining the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel. We have repositioned L-Core as a strategic "Eco-Product" to support sustainable manufacturing. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260513728897/en/ While conventional stainless steel excels in corrosion resistance due to its "passive film," this same film typically acts as an electrical insulator. Consequently, components requiring conductivity have traditionally relied on high-cost nickel (Ni) plating or conductive tapes. L-Core solves this challenge by making the passive film itself conductive. This breakthrough ensures high conductivity in the material alone, streamlining the manuf
