VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary — Global data center capital expenditure is expected to approach $1 trillion in 2026, reaching a major industry milestone sooner than anticipated as hyperscalers, AI model builders, and sovereign cloud initiatives scale deployment[1]. Gartner's latest forecast projects total data center spending will surpass $650 billion in 2026, a 31.7% year-over-year increase driven by servers optimized for AI workloads[2]. Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (QSE) (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX), Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), Fastly (NASDAQ: FSLY), and Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) span the physical and logical infrastructure powering this expansion.
Gartner separately forecasts sovereign cloud IaaS spending will hit $80 billion in 2026, as geopolitical tensions push governments to localize critical workloads[3]. CISA's January 2026 PQC procurement directive underscores the urgency[4]: every new data center, edge node, and interconnection point expands the attack surface that next-generation security must protect.
QSE Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80) has announced an upcoming educational webinar titled "The Post-Quantum Shift: What Changes? What Fails? What to Do Now?" scheduled for February 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. PST. The free virtual session, led by QSE Founder and DevSecOps Officer Sean Prescott, is designed to help organizations understand how advances in quantum computing are expected to impact traditional encryption methods and long-term data security strategies. As governments and enterprises increasingly recognize the threat of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, post-quantum preparedness is shifting from theoretical discussion to an active security planning requirement.
The webinar targets IT leaders, security professionals, compliance teams, and decision-makers responsible for protecting long-lived or regulated data across public and private sector environments. Registration interest already reflects growing awareness of post-quantum risk across a broad range of organizations. The session will run approximately 45 minutes with a live Q&A segment, giving attendees practical insight into what changes first as quantum capabilities advance and what steps organizations should be taking now to protect sensitive information. Attendance is free, but registration is required.
"Quantum computing doesn't arrive all at once. Its impact on cryptography happens gradually, and that's exactly why preparation needs to start early," said Sean Prescott, Founder of QSE Corp. "This session is about separating signal from noise and helping security leaders understand what actually changes, what breaks first, and how to take responsible, incremental action now."
The webinar arrives as QSE continues expanding its global commercial footprint at pace. The company recently renewed its enterprise agreement with The Muthoot Group in India, covering approximately 14,000 user licenses across one of the country's largest financial services organizations. QSE also entered South America with a three-year security agreement supporting three Brazilian government clients for approximately 4,500 user licenses, establishing initial commercial presence in the region.
QSE's membership in the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) positions the company within Canada's defence ecosystem ahead of its participation in the World Defense Show 2026 in Saudi Arabia this February as part of the official Canadian Delegation. International reach extends further through a strategic partnership with NUSA Networks and Porta Nusa for Indonesian market access, a CyberSecure Canada Level 2 Certification, and a distributor agreement with Enzo Plus spanning 300 channel partners in Southeast Asia. With the global post-quantum cryptography market projected to reach $17.69 billion by 2034, QSE is building both the technology platform and the market education infrastructure to capture enterprise adoption as quantum threats accelerate.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR) has partnered with Imperial College London and Lenovo to deploy the first direct liquid-cooled AI system in a live data centre environment in the United Kingdom. Hosted at Digital Realty's Woking facility, the high-performance computing platform uses bespoke direct liquid-cooling technology from Lenovo to deliver significantly higher compute performance per rack while reducing energy consumption. The deployment supports Imperial College's research in AI, climate science, healthcare, and engineering, enabling researchers to train larger AI models and accelerate data-intensive simulations across disciplines including drug discovery, robotics, and climate modelling.
"This deployment demonstrates what can be achieved when leading academic institutions, a global technology powerhouse, and digital infrastructure providers work closely together," said Séamus Dunne, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, Digital Realty. "Imperial's research ambitions require an environment designed for extreme performance, resilience and sustainability, and we are proud to provide that platform at our Woking data centre."
The Woking facility is Digital Realty's largest London campus, designed for AI infrastructure and supporting rack densities of more than 100kW across 200,000 square feet of data center space. The contract was signed in July 2025, with the fully operational environment handed over in Q4 2025.
Fastly, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLY) reported record fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results that marked an inflection point in the company's growth trajectory. Q4 revenue reached a record $172.6 million, up 23% year over year, with record gross margins of 61.4% GAAP and 64.0% non-GAAP. Security revenue grew 32% to $35.4 million, remaining performance obligations hit a record $353.8 million (up 55%), and non-GAAP operating income for Q4 came in at $21.2 million, swinging from a $2.8 million loss a year earlier.
"Our fourth quarter results mark an inflection in Fastly's growth as we achieved record revenue, gross margin, and operating profit," said Kip Compton, CEO of Fastly. "In 2025 we made significant progress on Fastly's transformation and delivered great results. As we look toward 2026, we anticipate continued momentum, with AI as an increasing tailwind for our business."
Full-year 2025 revenue totaled $624 million, a 15% increase, with the company generating $22.4 million in Q4 operating cash flow and $8.6 million in positive free cash flow. Fastly operates a global edge cloud platform serving enterprises that require high-performance content delivery, security, and compute at the network edge.
Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG) has launched Feature Flags, a new product that unifies feature management with observability to help engineering teams release new functionality without compromising reliability. Now generally available, Feature Flags integrates natively across Datadog APM and RUM, allowing teams to trace reliability issues to the exact feature or configuration responsible, automate rollouts and rollbacks using real-time service health signals, and clean up stale flags before they accumulate into technical debt. The product was built on a foundation from Datadog's acquisition of Eppo, an experimentation and analytics platform.
"Releasing new features is one of the riskiest parts of modern software delivery, and releasing frequently is even more important in today's AI-driven development age," said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. "Datadog Feature Flags, created with a head start after our acquisition of Eppo, allows development teams to automatically detect regressions, enforce reliability guardrails, and ship updates faster and more safely by tying every flag to real-time telemetry."
Feature Flags complements Datadog's existing CI/CD visibility and test optimization products by extending observability into release management itself. Key capabilities include automated canary releases, circuit breakers, instant rollbacks triggered by service health signals, and AI-powered stale flag cleanup.
