Digital Jersey’s Let’s Build AI Project Lab helps teams turn defined use cases into working prototypes, with data, governance and deployment questions addressed before an AI experiment is treated as a production project.
A practical comparison of HPE Alletra MP and Dell PowerStore for enterprise storage buyers who care about protocol fit, operational model, resilience and long-term platform direction — not brochure language.
Broadcom’s VMSA-2026-0006.2 adds vSphere 7.0 guidance for two unauthenticated, network-reachable vCenter flaws rated 9.8. With no workaround available, restrict access and use the supported patch route as an emergency change.
From 30 July 2026, Jersey will share limited identity data (name, address and date of birth) with Experian and Equifax. Islanders can opt out online via services.gov.je, but it won’t automatically erase records already held.
Microsoft Foundry Hosted agents on the initial public-preview backend reach their final documented support date today. Microsoft will not migrate them automatically, leaving teams to redeploy, rework identities and endpoints, and test session behaviour before cutover.

Choosing between VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, and HPE Morpheus in 2026 isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a question of long-term value versus cost, flexibility, and control. In this head-to-head comparison, we break down how each platform stacks up so you can decide which solution truly fits your infrastructure and budget.
Microsoft’s new time-based immutability for Azure SQL Database long-term retention backups makes them non-modifiable and non-erasable during the immutability period. That strengthens the trustworthiness of recovery points, but teams still need recovery discipline and tested restores—especially for Managed Instance.
A newer Microsoft Defender security intelligence update appears to restore failed scans on affected Windows PCs, highlighting why rapidly delivered endpoint-protection updates need monitoring, staged deployment and clear recovery procedures.
One useful technology briefing a week. New articles, practical fixes and the things worth paying attention to — no daily noise.
