Newport Township, Pa. – October 06, 2026 -- Fit Energy has secured zoning approval to convert a former mining and quarry site in Newport Township, Luzerne County, into a fuel cell power generation and data center complex, with engineering and permitting now underway ahead of construction.

Township commissioners approved zoning for both uses in August 2026

The approval clears the way for Fit Energy to redevelop previously disturbed industrial land rather than greenfield forest or farmland. Natural gas fuel cells supplied by Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy, Inc. will generate on-site power under a strategic agreement with Fit Energy, producing electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion.

Arlington, Va. – October 05, 2026 -- Info-Tech Research Group has released a new blueprint, Define Your Target AI Infrastructure, aimed at helping enterprises stop overspending on compute hardware by aligning infrastructure design with actual AI workload demands.

Enterprises overbuy compute instead of fixing utilization

Info-Tech's analysis finds that organizations experiencing AI performance issues -- including slow model training and reduced throughput -- typically respond by acquiring additional compute resources, driving up IT costs. The firm argues that greater long-term value comes from maximizing utilization of existing infrastructure and matching architecture decisions to workload requirements rather than adding hardware.

The company, a Google Cloud Partner known for its gPanel software, built the tool to close visibility gaps that native Google consoles cannot address, including their 28-day data lookback limit.

Platform tracks license waste, agent permissions, and cloud spend in one view

Insights by Promevo delivers real-time observability across three areas: AI license optimization, AI agent governance and security, and AI cost attribution. The platform automatically identifies idle or underutilized licenses and quantifies reclaimable spend. It also builds a complete inventory of custom-built AI agents, mapping their permissions and data access so IT teams can enforce least-privilege security policies.

Raghu Hiremagalur, SVP, CTO Infrastructure at LinkedIn, said a single InfiniBand NIC flap previously could remove an eight-GPU server from service, while a switch port flap could double the impact to 16 GPUs. LinkPass now automatically reroutes traffic onto healthy paths, letting jobs continue uninterrupted while faults are repaired.
