The solution allows users to work with systems, including mainframes, enabling teams to interact with these environments through a simple, intuitive interface. Powered by Rocket MCP Server, it supports governed access to system data using the industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling teams to query environments, diagnose issues, and receive recommendations using natural language.
Snowflake announced new Energy Solutions, uniting Snowflake’s governance capabilities, partner-developed solutions, and industry-critical datasets into a single offering tailored for the energy sector. Snowflake Energy Solutions enable power, utilities, and oil and gas companies to build a trusted data foundation for AI by securely connecting data across IT, OT, and IoT systems to modernize infrastructure, improve efficiency, and more.
Teradata announced Enterprise AgentStack, designed to help enterprises move from isolated pilots to production-grade autonomy quickly, even across multi-agent and hybrid environments. The solution is an open and connected stack that unifies the AI agent lifecycle to deliver production-ready agents with context and interoperability across hybrid environments. It includes Enterprise MCP for secure data discovery and system integration, AgentBuilder for creation, AgentEngine for deployment, and AgentOps for governance.
VAST Data announced a new capacity optimization program called VAST Amplify. This new program is designed to help enterprises and service providers increase effective flash capacity using the SSDs they already own. In today’s age of AI growth, VAST Amplify provides a structured path for customers to identify underutilized flash, rapidly qualify and repurpose existing hardware, and consolidate capacity into the VAST AI Operating System’s unified Disaggregated Shared Everything (DASE) architecture.
Partnerships, collaborations, and more
Alteryx announced a major expansion of its partnership with Google Cloud to help make BigQuery, Google’s autonomous data to AI platform, more accessible, actionable, and AI-ready for Alteryx business teams across the enterprise. As part of the partnership, Alteryx is bringing governed analytics workflows directly to its BigQuery users, enabling its joint customers to move from data to insight to action faster, without sacrificing trust or scale. Additionally, Alteryx announced the general availability of Live Query for BigQuery, which enables its business and IT users to build and run workflows directly in BigQuery without moving data.
AtScale announced it is joining the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI), an open source initiative that creates a universal specification for all companies to standardize their fragmented data definitions with an open, vendor-neutral semantic model specification. OSI aims to enhance interoperability across various tools and platforms, offering enterprises a vendor-neutral specification that provides consistent metrics and definitions across dashboards, notebooks, and machine learning models.
Blaize announced a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nokia to establish a framework for joint exploration, development, and deployment of Practical AI and Physical AI systems designed for real-world operations. The companies will combine Nokia’s leadership in networking, automation, and cloud infrastructure with Blaize’s programmable AI inference platform. Together, the companies aim to enable Real World AI that operates reliably at the edge and across hybrid environments where latency, power efficiency, and operational resilience are critical.
Cognite announced a collaboration with Snowflake to support the launch of Snowflake’s new Energy Solutions and help energy organizations use data and AI more effectively across their operations. Through this collaboration, Cognite, Snowflake, and other industry leaders are empowering oil and gas, power, and utilities providers to modernize infrastructure, improve efficiency, and accelerate progress toward a more reliable and lower-carbon future.
