A DHCPv6 Reply Is Not Proof a Delegated Prefix Is Routed

VNET’s 96.3% Commitment Still Leaves a 226MW Move-In Gap
VNET has almost sold out the wholesale capacity it has already put into service. It has not yet activated all of it. At 30 June, 970MW was committed under effective customer agreements while 744MW was being utilized. The 226MW between those states is where an impressive order…

Salute’s T5 Deal Counts 15GW-Plus Under Management, Not Ownership
Salute has agreed to acquire T5 Operations and says the combined organisation would manage more than 15GW of data-centre capacity. The number sounds like an infrastructure portfolio. It is really the perimeter of a service obligation: customer facilities, operating teams…

STTGDC Has 780MW Operating; Nearly 2GW Is Still a Delivery Queue
The KKR–Singtel consortium has completed its acquisition of STTGDC, but it has not acquired a finished version of the operator's development plan. The closing update puts operational capacity at 780MW and nearly 2GW of powered land in construction or development. Those figures…

Asana bought StackAI. Its employee awards still require future work
Asana’s latest quarterly filing puts a useful boundary around the StackAI deal: US$74.6m bought the company, while a separate set of equity awards depends on employees’ future service. Owning the platform and securing the work needed to integrate it are different achievements.

Semtech’s 2031 revolver has a two-part early-maturity test
Semtech’s new credit line runs to 2031 on its stated schedule. A clause tied to its convertible notes can bring that date forward, but only if two conditions hold together. The latest quarterly filing shows why the company’s financing capacity needs to be read as a set of…

nCino’s asset-based pricing still carries a platform bill
A bank’s balance sheet is becoming a more important reference point for nCino’s software prices. The cost of supplying that software follows a different set of variables. The company’s August results show why a shift away from seat counts deserves a closer reading than the…
