IBM Power11 platform is focused on working with intensive computing and modern AI tasks

Artificial intelligence has gradually ceased to be an experimental technology and has become part of everyday business practice. Today, AI is used for big data analytics, process automation, forecasting, and language and image processing. All of this creates new requirements for server infrastructure. If previously the main focus was on stability and data storage, now performance, scalability, and the ability to handle constantly growing workloads play a key role. It is in this context that IBM introduced Power11 — a new generation of servers designed to operate in the conditions of the AI reality.

Why IP Reputation Is Crucial for VPS

An IP address with allow and block marks next to the VPS server, symbolizing the IP reputation. — IP reputation directly affects the stability and trust of a VPS

When a website, mail server, or API runs on a VPS, it receives its own IP address — a unique numerical identifier on the network. For internet services, this address has its own reputation, similar to a company’s business reputation. IP reputation is formed based on the server’s behavior: what requests it sends, which services run on it, and whether spam, phishing, or other suspicious activity is detected from it. A poor IP reputation can result in emails not reaching recipients, websites being blocked by browsers, and external services refusing to work with it.

Three people are working with laptops, one of them is pressing a button on the screen, symbolizing the launch of a supercomputer. — Chinese project that connects over 2,000 km of data centers into a single network

In the world of information technology, China continues to amaze with its new ambitious projects. One of the latest achievements is the launch of the Future Network Test Facility (FNTF), a distributed network of data centers stretching over 2000 kilometers. This is not just another data center — it’s a whole system that unites dozens of data processing centers, creating a so-called “giant computer.” The goal of this project is to provide massive computing power for the development of artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and the industrial internet. In this article, we will explore how this project will change the landscape of computing power and why it is significant for the technologies of the future.

In today’s internet, users are accustomed to seeing the green padlock next to a website address and the letters https. For many, this symbol signals a safe resource where data is transmitted securely. However, an important question remains: can free SSL certificates — used by thousands of websites — be fully trusted? To answer this, it’s essential to understand how SSL works, how free certificates differ from paid ones, and what risks actually matter for businesses and users.

Why IPv6 Still Has Not Become the Standard and How It Slows Down the Market

A road barrier structure with an IPv6 sign and a prohibition sign, symbolizing obstacles to the implementation of the new protocol. — IPv6 adoption is still blocked by infrastructure and market constraints

Despite the fact that the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses has been discussed for more than ten years, the transition to IPv6 still remains more of a prospect than a reality. In many countries, the use of the new protocol barely exceeds 30–40%, and some providers do not plan to implement it anytime soon. This is surprising, since IPv6 offers an almost unlimited pool of addresses, better bandwidth, a more modern approach to routing, and built-in security mechanisms. Why, then, is the internet infrastructure not rushing to adopt the new standard, and what consequences does this create for the market?

Is “Fail-Proof” Hosting Possible and Why 100% Uptime Is a Myth

A worried user thinks about 100% uptime and possible server failure. — 100% uptime is unattainable even for the most stable servers

In today’s digital environment, every business wants to be sure that its website or application is always available. Users do not tolerate delays, and companies understand that even a few minutes of downtime can lead to financial losses, reduced trust, or indexing issues in search engines. That is why VPS and dedicated server services often highlight uptime — the percentage of time the infrastructure operates without interruption. However, in real engineering, an absolute 100% uptime is unattainable. Even if the servers are expensive, the data center is certified, and the network is fully redundant, physical and organizational limitations still exist. To understand why “fail-proof” hosting is more of a marketing term, it is important to examine how VPS and dedicated servers actually work.

The Global Memory Market on the Brink of Crisis

Illustration with a RAM module, a growth graph, and a coin - a symbol of the rising price of memory. — RAM prices are rising rapidly due to a global shortage of chips

In the coming years, the global computer hardware industry may face the most serious shortage of the past decade. The market for dynamic RAM (DRAM) and solid-state drives (SSD) is experiencing a sharp rise in prices and a shortage of components, affecting both electronics manufacturers and ordinary users. The reason behind this is the rapid shift of leading companies toward producing chips for artificial intelligence, which today consumes most of the world’s manufacturing capacity. To understand what this may lead to, it is worth examining the factors driving the new memory crisis.

Why Bug Fixes Are Just as Important as System Updates

A computer on a scale is contrasted with a box with an error, symbolizing the importance of bug fixes and updates. — Bug fixes maintain stability no less than system updates

In the modern digital environment, most users are accustomed to perceiving updates as something big and noticeable: new design, features, interfaces or capabilities that immediately catch the eye. Updates are associated with something significant that adds new potential to a system. At the same time, bug fixes — meaning corrections of errors in software — often seem less noticeable and even “boring.” However, in reality, they are fundamentally important and, in some cases, even more critical than large-scale updates. To understand why, it’s worth examining the nature of bugs, their impact on stability and security, and how to correctly evaluate the quality of software.

Upset businessman at laptop, around icons of online project problems. — The most common mistakes that prevent businesses from successfully going online

The transition of a business to the online space stopped being a fashionable trend long ago — today it is a necessity for survival and growth. However, even companies with offline sales experience often repeat the same mistakes that complicate the launch or slow down development. The online environment has its own rules, where technical stability, user convenience, and understanding of digital tools become crucial. To avoid unnecessary expenses and losing customers, it is worth understanding which mistakes businesses most often make during digitalisation and why they become critical.

The first hints of a touch-screen MacBook have already become a reality

The laptop market is gearing up for another significant update, as Apple is officially working on a premium MacBook with a touchscreen. The idea of combining a classic laptop form factor with a full touchscreen has long been discussed in the tech community, but the company traditionally avoided moving to this format. Now the situation is changing, and by early 2026, users may see the first MacBook that responds to touch. This is not just the addition of a new feature, but a rethinking of how to interact with macOS and Apple’s portable devices in general.
