Product Launch

Las Vegas – October 29, 2026 -- Oracle said new NVMe block-storage attachment options across Oracle Acceleron bare metal and VM shapes improve performance by up to 3x, as it expanded its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) networking suite for AI workloads at Oracle AI World.

Oracle extends NVMe block storage and RDMA connectivity to more AI workloads

The NVMe options target AI, database and other data-intensive workloads. Separately, Oracle Acceleron High-Performance Fabric adds RDMA connectivity on OCI front-end compute, aimed at inference, storage and HPC deployments.

Oracle Collective Communications Library reroutes traffic across the backend Multiplanar Network when links fail

The library spreads collective traffic across OCI's backend Multiplanar Network and steers it toward healthier paths. Oracle says workloads recover instantaneously when links, ports or NICs fail.

Las Vegas – October 29, 2026 -- Oracle says 25 of its 75 packaged agentic applications for Fusion are now Claw-enabled. Claw is a governed runtime that executes analyst-grade work in finance, supply chain and workforce planning and commits results to Fusion within business-set limits. Oracle announced the expansion at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas on October 26, 2026, and says all of it is available in the current Fusion release.

Oracle extends Claw across ERP, HCM, SCM and CX applications

Oracle first introduced Claw on September 29, 2026. The runtime takes over when an agentic application needs deep analysis across millions of records. Its scope covers reconciliation, analysis, planning, simulation and optimization, and runs can last hours.

San Diego – October 29, 2026 -- SEKISUI Diagnostics has launched the OSOM COVID-19/Flu A&B Combo Test, a 510(k)-cleared rapid test that detects and differentiates SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B from a single anterior nasal swab in professional healthcare settings.

CLIA-waived assay is manufactured in the USA for point-of-care use

The product is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of influenza A and B nucleoprotein antigens and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen. It is intended for individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. SEKISUI Diagnostics manufactures the test in the USA and backs it with a technical services team of medical laboratory professionals.

QC Inside feature removes separate quality control costs

Each kit includes QC Inside, which eliminates separate quality control (QC) costs. It also provides two additional patient tests for external QC at no charge.

Global – October 29, 2026 -- The deviceWISE Intelligence Suite now integrates NVIDIA Metropolis Video Search and Summarization (VSS) Blueprint, feeding camera detections directly into live machine data and automated response workflows on production lines.

Platform connects PLCs, robots and CNCs to video analysis

The suite deploys industrial AI agents at the operational edge and links PLCs, robots, CNCs and enterprise systems into one real-time operational picture. NVIDIA VSS Blueprint adds accelerated computer vision, vision-language models including NVIDIA Cosmos, and large language models to analyze live and recorded video.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) and NVIDIA NIM microservices connect the visual insights to machine state and process history. NIM matches each task to the most effective model to speed agent deployment.

Las Vegas – October 29, 2026 -- Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) introduced three new production presses and feature upgrades to two existing models at PRINTING United Expo 2026, extending its inkjet range across cut-sheet and continuous-feed formats.

Proficio Jet CF1200 delivers 525 feet per minute in a 28-foot footprint

The industrial continuous-feed inkjet press runs at up to 525 feet per minute at 1200 dpi. Xerox describes it as the smallest 20-inch press in its class. It handles 4 million to 30 million Letter/A4 impressions per month, targeting high-volume print providers that need more capacity and want to protect margins.

Global – October 29, 2026 -- NVIDIA has released Kumo, a family of open models, libraries and tools for predictive AI on structured data, and Snowflake customers can run it on GPU compute without moving data out of their accounts. The release is part of NVIDIA's new Agent Knowledge Foundation, a set of open models and libraries meant to help enterprise agents retrieve evidence, apply consistent business meaning, predict outcomes and optimize actions.

Kumo trains graph neural networks on full relational structure

The NVIDIA Kumo Relational model and NVIDIA Kumo Engine, an open-source package, train graph neural networks across an enterprise's relational graph. Kumo learns from tables, the keys connecting them and the timing of events. Teams do not need to flatten these links into a single wide table.

Columbus – October 29, 2026 -- Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT) has introduced Vertiv SmartIT, a factory-validated AI infrastructure platform built on NVIDIA MGX and OCP ORV3 architectures, available now for global deployments.

The solution integrates rack infrastructure, DC power conversion and distribution, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, in-rack cooling distribution and monitoring. Vertiv validates these systems before shipment, which limits on-site commissioning to connections with facility power and cooling. It was previously deployed with NVIDIA to support the NVIDIA DGX GB300.

SmartIT supports four NVIDIA systems from single-rack to multi-rack scale

The platform supports NVIDIA GB300 NVL72, Vera Rubin NVL72, DGX Rubin NVL8 and HGX Rubin NVL8. Customers can expand from one rack to several without redesign between phases. Target buyers are enterprises, research institutions and colocation providers.

Dubai – October 29, 2026 -- Huawei's new HUAWEI WATCH D3 wrist-worn blood pressure monitor includes a pre- and post-exercise measurement mode that is the first of its kind in the industry to receive EU CE certification under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and Class II medical device registration in China. The company showcased the device at the 31st International Society of Hypertension Scientific Meeting and 17th Emirates Cardiac Society Annual Conference (ISH-ECS 2026), held in Dubai from 22 to 25 October.

Huawei and ISH select first three projects from more than 80 funding applications

Huawei, a member of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH), set up the Wearable Blood Pressure Technology Innovation Fund together with the society. The fund targets two areas: wearable blood pressure measurement and wearable blood pressure management.

Global – October 29, 2026 -- OX has launched Agent Activity in early access, giving security teams step-by-step runtime visibility into AI agent sessions across its OX.VibeSec and OX.Cloud platforms, with more than 100 built-in guardrail policies.

Agent Activity traces each session from prompt to data access

For every agent session, security teams can follow the full chain of actions from start to finish. The tool records prompts and responses, the MCP servers and tools the agent called and in what order, and whether the agent held read or write access. That distinction separates an agent that views a ticket from one that modifies it, or one that reads Slack from one that posts to it.

It also flags when an agent interacts with PII, secrets, tokens, or financial data, and when that data risks leaving where it belongs.

NEW YORK – October 28, 2026 -- Globant (NYSE: GLOB) has expanded its Glob.AI platform with Glob.AI OS, a governance layer that routes enterprise AI requests across 320+ models from 25+ providers and ties each call to identity, cost and policy.

Glob.AI is Globant's AI-Native Services Platform, under which clients pay for outcomes or consumption rather than hours or seats. Globant says AI-Native Services engagements have delivered up to 7x faster legacy modernization and 3x faster product discovery.

Four hubs handle model routing, data context, agent testing and spend control

Globant describes Glob.AI OS as the governed foundation under every AI call. It supports identity, agent lifecycle management, cost visibility and auditability through four components:
