KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- NetBox Labs, which develops the network and data centre management software NetBox, has announced partnerships with NVIDIA and Grafana Labs, along with new platform capabilities, at its first NetBox Evolve conference.
“Today NetBox is used by companies like Arm, CoreWeave, Kaiser Permanente and JPMorgan Chase to build, run and grow their networks and infrastructure.
“We are seeing tremendous growth, with more than 90 per cent of the top neoclouds using NetBox to design and scale their AI data centres, and we expect NetBox to power more than 100 GW of AI data centre capacity by 2030,” said NetBox Labs chief executive officer and co-founder, Kris Beevers in a statement.
Under the NVIDIA partnership, NetBox is now a native source of truth for NVIDIA Configuration Manager (NVCM), the network orchestration component of NVIDIA DSX OS. It provides the data that drives automated configuration across NVIDIA-native cluster fabrics.
NetBox Labs and Grafana Labs have also released a free, open-source NetBox plugin in the Grafana catalogue. The plugin brings live infrastructure details, such as site, role, tenant, rack, owner and lifecycle, into Grafana dashboards and alerts. According to the companies, it requires no pipeline changes, avoids stale labels and adds no metric cost.
Separately, NetBox Labs’ open-source Orb platform now supplies network flow and packet telemetry to Grafana Cloud users.
NetBox Labs has also expanded its Infrastructure Intelligence Platform. NetBox Designs, now in public preview, provides reusable templates for designing sites, racks and IP plans for large-scale deployments.
NetBox Agents adds pre-built AI agents for tasks including change request review, compliance and data quality management, also in public preview. A fully managed NetBox Platform MCP Server, now generally available, lets customers’ own AI agents query and change infrastructure in plain language.
NetBox Analytics, which has added new ready-made dashboards, and NetBox Visual Explorer will become generally available in November.

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES FOUR EFUSE ICS FOR LOW-VOLTAGE POWER PROTECTION
 |
| Toshiba: TCKE5 Series of small-package eFuse ICs supporting 1.7V low-voltage operation. |
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba), a supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, has launched four electronic fuses (eFuse ICs) under its TCKE5 Series, integrating multiple functions to protect power supply lines.
The new products operate over an input voltage range of 1.7 volts (V) to 5.5V and are housed in the compact SOT-353F (UFV) package. The lineup comprises four models: “TCKE501UA”, “TCKE501UL”, “TCKE502UA” and “TCKE502UL.” Shipments began on Oct 12.
According to Toshiba in a statement, the TCKE5 Series is the first in its eFuse IC lineup to support 1.8V power lines, making it suitable for low-voltage applications, including Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.
As electronic devices become smaller, more functional, and less power-intensive, demand for low-voltage power supplies has increased. Protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions is also essential to improve the reliability of low-voltage power lines.
The series comes in a compact, low-profile package that reduces printed circuit board (PCB) mounting area, supporting space-saving, high-density designs for wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Alongside the short-circuit protection offered by physical fuses, such as glass tube and chip current fuses, the TCKE5 Series features overcurrent protection that shuts off output when excessive current is detected.
The overcurrent protection function also includes a mask time to help prevent unnecessary shutdowns caused by transient peak currents, thus protecting downstream circuits and improving system safety and reliability.
The lineup includes auto-retry models, which automatically restore circuit operation, and latch-type models, which require an external signal to recover. Different slew-rate settings are also available to meet power sequencing requirements.
Toshiba said it would continue expanding its eFuse IC lineup to support a wider range of equipment.

AM INTELLIGENCE ORDERS 20,000 NVIDIA RUBIN GPUS FOR INDIA, MALAYSIA
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- AM Intelligence (AMI), the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure platform set up by the promoters of Greenko, has announced two further firm and binding orders for 20,000 NVIDIA Rubin graphics processing units (GPUs) to be deployed as NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems.
Building on its first AI factory in Hyderabad, India, the expansion is designed to give cloud providers, enterprises and AI developers access to large-scale computing capacity closer to where they build and deploy AI.
These orders are in addition to AMI's inaugural commitment announced on Aug 25 for 9,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs at its first AI factory in Hyderabad. The follow-on capacity, totalling approximately 70 megawatts (MW), will be deployed in Malaysia and India, with delivery scheduled for the second quarter of 2027.
“Both facilities will be built to the same architecture standard as the Hyderabad AI Factory, integrating the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform with high-throughput RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) networking for fast, efficient data movement, alongside advanced storage systems.
“Each site is engineered for high rack power density and liquid cooled throughout, allowing the infrastructure to accommodate successive generations of AI silicon within the same physical footprint,” said AMI Chairman, Anil Chalamalasetty in a statement.
Taken together, the three orders bring AMI's committed frontier compute to approximately 29,000 Rubin GPUs and close to 100 MW of capacity.
AMI said it plans to bring an additional 300 MW of capacity to market over the next 15 months, involving capital expenditure of more than US$20 billion. (US$1 = RM4.08)
The company has developed a pipeline of approximately 400 MW of Compute-as-a-Service capacity across global locations, including India, the United States, Europe and Malaysia. The three orders placed to date represent the first committed tranche within that pipeline, while the balance is under development for delivery in subsequent phases in 2027 and early 2028.
The pipeline advances AMI's stated intention to bring one gigawatt (GW) of Compute-as-a-Service capacity to global AI workloads, within a broader programme of five GW of powered AI data centres.
