NTT DATA has published its Technology Foresight Report 2026, identifying six trends expected to shape technology innovation as organisations across Asia-Pacific and other regions expand their use of AI and supporting infrastructure.

The report argues that organisations are moving away from standardised AI and cloud approaches towards sovereign architectures, tighter controls for autonomous systems, and new infrastructure planning for AI workloads. It positions 2026 as a turning point as adoption moves from pilots to wider operational use, describing these changes as part of an "age of mass intelligence" where businesses prioritise tools that learn, adapt and act autonomously. The report also notes that medium and long-term planning is becoming more important as firms seek to build or defend positions in global markets.

ADLINK has expanded its edge computing line-up with a new server board and three Intel Xeon 6-based GPU servers, as demand grows for more compute at industrial and on-premise sites.

The launch includes the ISB-W890 server board and the AXE-7440GW, AXE-7420GWA and AXE-7220GW systems. ADLINK is targeting organisations running advanced vision processing, analytics and generative AI inference outside central data centres. Edge deployments are moving from pilots to production, particularly in environments where connectivity limits, response-time needs and local data processing requirements shape system design. That shift is increasing demand for server-class systems suited to factory racks, labs and remote sites.
