GlobalM integrates GMX platform with Oracle cloud.

GlobalM integrates GMX platform with Oracle cloud. The move enables GMX to optimise infrastructure for applications from SRT and RIST gateways to transcoding, remultiplexing and high-throughput media distribution Published: August 21, 2026 GlobalM has integrated its GMX software-defined with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), aiming to drive access to an increased global footprint for media organisations. Creating a software-defined network on OCI, GMX automates the deployment of compute, networking, media processing and routing resources, said the company. Infrastructure is configured on demand, with point-to-multipoint contribution and distribution paths automatically established. Resources can be scaled to meet requirements and automatically released on completion, enabling broadcasters to dynamically schedule and consume OCI infrastructure as needed. Compute and memory resources can be configured to individual requirements with OCI Flexible Shapes, enabling GMX to optimise infrastructure for applications from SRT and RIST gateways to transcoding, remultiplexing and high-throughput media distribution, said the company. Automatically deployable across OCI locations, GMX processing and routing nodes enable contribution feeds to enter the cloud near to their source and receiving broadcasters to connect close to their location, ensuring the first and last miles are kept as short as possible while core workflow takes place across managed cloud infrastructure. Paul Calleja, CEO of GlobalM, said: "We are very excited to be working with Oracle. Combining OCI's global infrastructure and flexible compute with GMX automation allows us to dynamically build and operate a complete cloud MCR, from processing and routing through to global distribution. OCI is an excellent fit for the demanding requirements of live broadcast, and we see significant opportunities for what we can achieve together." Kip Schauer, senior product manager, OCI Media Partnerships, Oracle, added, "GlobalM has built an innovative platform that brings greater automation and flexibility to live media workflows. By bringing GMX to OCI, we're combining GlobalM's software-defined approach with OCI's high-performance infrastructure and global reach to help broadcasters simplify and scale live contribution, processing, and distribution across cloud and hybrid environments."

WideLabs, which develops generative AI solutions and sovereign infrastructure focused on the Portuguese context and language, announced the hiring of Bento Ribeiro for the position of vice president of public sector for Latin America. Ribeiro comes from Oracle, where he built a career of nearly thirteen years and, since 2024, held the position of vice president of public sector for Latin America. At the company, he also led sales areas for the Federal Government and strategic accounts in Brazil, in addition to having held positions such as sales director and account director for the public sector. With more than two decades of career, Ribeiro also worked at IBM, a technology and consulting multinational, where he began his career in the commercial area and held different positions dedicated to serving the public sector. The professional holds a degree in administration from the University of Brasília (UnB), has a specialization in public administration from the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), and participated in the IBM Business Insight program at Harvard Business School. At WideLabs, the new VP will be responsible for leading the company's strategy for the segment in Latin America, expanding relationships with governments, institutions, and partners, and identifying new opportunities for applying AI in public services and policies. "I arrive with the mission of further expanding this presence in Latin America and building, together with governments, projects capable of transforming AI into efficiency, better services, and concrete impact for citizens," says Ribeiro.

Oracle expands AI healthcare tools with automated coding and chart review after $28.3B Cerner acquisition

Oracle is expanding AI capabilities within its healthcare platform, adding automated coding, chart review, and clinician-controlled dictation to its Clinical AI Agent. The tools analyse patient visit conversations to suggest charge codes, compile medical histories, and provide real-time transcription. Oracle Health, built largely on the company's $28.3 billion Cerner acquisition, sells electronic health records and clinical software to hospitals. Oracle says its existing AI note-generation technology has saved US healthcare organisations over 400,000 physician hours. The company generated $67.4 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, with cloud revenue jumping 39% to $34 billion. Healthcare providers face persistent administrative workloads, and reducing documentation time could strengthen customer retention whilst providing economic justification for additional AI tool adoption. Clinicians retain responsibility for final decisions as AI moves into clinical workflows.

In Abilene, Texas, AI data center growth is deepening an already tight housing market.

In Abilene, Texas, AI data center growth is deepening an already tight housing market. Morgan Taylor Sun, August 16, 2026 at 12:05 AM PDT * Abilene, Texas, saw the arrival of the Stargate Project, a major AI data center expansion promising thousands of jobs and increased tax revenue, but residents are feeling the impact through rising housing costs and other challenges. Abilene, Texas, was pitched as a winner in one of the world's largest AI data center expansions, with leaders touting thousands of jobs, more tax money, and a broader economic boost. Many residents say the clearest change has been rising housing costs, along with a feeling that the project's gains have yet to reach them. What's happening? The Stargate Project broke ground outside Abilene in 2024, replacing ranchland near long-established homes with a vast data center campus. In a KUT News report published by Houston Public Media, the development - backed by companies including Oracle and OpenAI - was framed as a major opportunity for the region. At a White House press conference in January 2025, President Donald Trump introduced Stargate and said it was something people would "hear a lot about in the future." Oracle representatives told KUT News the project brought 9,000 construction jobs and is expected to create 1,000 permanent jobs, while the Abilene City Council approved an 85% tax abatement and Oracle said the city could still collect an estimated $30 million each year. People living near the site say the downsides have been hard to ignore. Lexi Smith, whose home is close to the construction, said increased traffic, damaged roads, and environmental worries have changed the area around her family's house. "We got taken, we got robbed," Smith said. Not every business in Abilene is seeing the same impact. Regan Vanderweele, an employee at Grain Theory brewery, said, "I've definitely seen a big intake of customers coming from out of town and because of the data center specifically." Others told the outlet they had noticed little benefit. Why does it matter? Among the concerns surfacing in Abilene, housing has become the biggest one. Diana Luna, a self-described "techie" running for Texas state representative, said the city was already short on housing before thousands of workers showed up. "If we're supposed to be in this economic boom, where is the money?" Luna said. Evidence of that strain is spreading across the city. In June, Abilene Christian University said more than 100 incoming students still lacked housing for the fall semester, and Zillow data cited in the report showed average rent in Abilene at nearly $2,600 a month - higher than Austin. Because they rely on large banks of servers and extensive cooling equipment, AI data centers place heavy demands on the power grid, and many also consume substantial amounts of water. AI can provide real benefits, including helping utilities better predict demand and bring on cleaner energy sources, but fast expansion can also stress local infrastructure, push up energy prices, deepen water-use concerns, and create new risks related to misuse, security, and uneven economic effects. For renters and vulnerable families, those pressures can show up quickly. Michael Prado, a case manager at Abilene Hope Haven, told KUT News he has seen more families seeking shelter after being priced out of housing. What's being done? Backers of the project say the long-term upside could still materialize. In a promotional video, Misty Mayo, CEO of the Development Corporation of Abilene, said, "New tax revenue funds new roads. New tax revenue makes a new grocery store interested in expanding into your community, because now they can make money." Some local institutions are making changes. Abilene Christian University said it plans to bring a former residence hall back into use - after it had once been slated for demolition - to house students affected by the rental shortage. People working on housing issues locally say the city also needs near-term solutions, including more attainable rentals, better preparation for large waves of incoming workers, and help for families facing eviction. Prado said it used to take just over a month to place someone in housing; it can take up to six months. Smith rejected the tradeoff outright: "There's no amount of money worth it. None." Prado said, "I hate that we're getting the calls, that people are getting evicted... I hate when single moms are calling."
