SR Expert Network: High Availability is Not Set & Forget: How to Validate Before an Outage by SIOS Technology’s Cassius Rhue

From my view of the chess board, data sovereignty is usually explained through the lens of regulation and geography. That is, companies needed to know where sensitive information was stored, which jurisdiction governed it, and whether their infrastructure complied with applicable requirements.

Commvault And NVIDIA Connect Protected Enterprise Data With Governed AI Retrieval

Commvault is collaborating with NVIDIA to make protected enterprise data usable by AI applications and agents while preserving permissions, ownership, classification, and lineage. The planned integration combines Data Activate with NVIDIA NIM microservices, Nemotron Retriever, and cuVS to extract, organize, and retrieve complex content. Data Activate will also update available information as source records, access rights, and retention requirements change.

Constructive Launches Safegres To Check PostgreSQL Access Controls On Every Change

Constructive has released Safegres, an MIT-licensed, open-source verifier that connects read-only to PostgreSQL and checks which rows each database role can actually access. It evaluates grants and row-level security across inherited roles, defaults, views, and functions, with 34 security checks and 11 performance checks scored separately. CI integration flags newly introduced findings on each pull request, helping developers and coding agents catch regressions before deployment.

CoreWeave Launches Managed PostgreSQL Alongside GPU Workloads

CoreWeave has made CoreWeave Database generally available, placing managed PostgreSQL on CPU nodes inside customers’ CoreWeave Kubernetes Service clusters. Keeping application state, workflow metadata, and embeddings alongside training and inference workloads eliminates the cross-cloud connection otherwise needed to reach an external database. The service includes automatic failover, continuous backups, point-in-time recovery, encryption, and pgvector support for semantic retrieval.

Denodo And AWS Expand Collaboration Around Governed Data Access For AI Agents

Denodo has signed a multiyear strategic collaboration agreement with AWS covering customer workshops, co-selling, commercial incentives, and systems-integrator offerings for agentic AI. The agreement extends their existing relationship rather than introducing a standalone product. Denodo’s data layer connects AWS AI services with live information across on-premises, SaaS, sovereign, and multicloud environments without requiring new copies. Shared data products, semantic definitions, and access policies can then support multiple agents, reducing the need to build a separate data-access architecture for each application.

Fivetran Study Finds Data Repairs Consume A Significant Share Of AI Budgets

Fivetran’s new report, The AI Tax: The Hidden Cost When AI Isn’t Connected to Your Data, found that 39% of companies spend at least a quarter of their AI budgets addressing data problems. Those costs include fixing data quality, rebuilding integrations, and reprocessing information—work that diverts funding from developing and deploying AI capabilities. The findings frame connected, reliable data infrastructure as part of AI economics.

Google Releases TPU Sync To Accelerate AI Cache And Model-State Transfers

Google has released TPU Sync, an open-source library that moves model state asynchronously across TPU memory, host RAM, and networked systems. It extends key-value caches beyond accelerator memory, reuses processed prompt prefixes, and transfers context between separate prompt-processing and token-generation nodes. Google reports more than 90% lower cache-transfer overhead in internal testing, with latency gains varying by workload.

Hitachi Vantara Brings In-Place Analytics And Expanded AI Governance To VSP One

Hitachi Vantara has expanded VSP One Object with a smaller four-node starting configuration and analytics that query supported Iceberg, Parquet, JSON, and CSV data directly on object storage. The company reports up to five times faster analytical queries with 80% fewer CPUs, reducing the need for separate data copies and pipelines. Related Hitachi iQ Studio updates add filesystem and NFS knowledge sources for retrieval-augmented generation, a governed model gateway, MCP connectivity, and ServiceNow support.

Neo4j Launches Embedded In-Memory Graph Database For AI Agents

Neo4j has released Relate, an open-source database built in Rust that runs inside agent applications, sandboxes, browsers, and edge devices. Available under Apache 2.0, it combines graph traversal and vector search with built-in MCP connectivity and optional durable storage. Agent-specific features include structured errors that indicate whether retries are appropriate and bounded query results that help prevent context-window overload.

Space And Time Launches Private Data Verification For Enterprise AI And Finance

Space and Time has introduced an enterprise platform that lets businesses prove calculations on private data without exposing the underlying records. Its Proof of SQL technology allows AI applications, auditors, and other stakeholders to verify query results while source data stays within the enterprise environment. Businesses can deploy the software on their own servers without operating a blockchain, purchasing specialized GPU hardware, or using an external proving service.
