NetZoom® is a robust DCIM for managing College and University data centers, campus infrastructure and smart classrooms

CHICAGO, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — NetZoom offers an intuitive Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution designed to help colleges and universities document, visualize, and manage the infrastructure supporting campus IT services, research computing, smart classrooms, and distributed data center environments.

Higher education institutions often manage infrastructure spread across data centers, MDF/IDF closets, labs, classrooms, and multiple campus locations while supporting digital learning, campus connectivity, research workloads, and administrative systems. These environments require accurate asset management, reliable connectivity documentation, capacity planning, and operational visibility across IT and facilities.

Common infrastructure management challenges in higher education include:

Lack of a single source of truth for asset managementDistributed assets across the entire campusLimited space, power, cooling, and budget resources as digital learning, research computing, and campus IT services continue to expandMaintaining uptime and resiliency for critical academic, research, and administrative systems

“Higher education institutions are managing increasingly complex data center environments that support students, faculty, research, and campus-wide digital services,” said Uriel Campos, General Manager at NetZoom, Inc. “To manage these environments effectively, teams need clear visibility into their assets, connectivity, capacity, power, and cooling. NetZoom helps colleges and universities establish a reliable source of truth, improve operational planning, and support critical infrastructure without adding unnecessary burden to IT and facilities teams.”

NetZoom also supports IT and facilities teams by centralizing asset, connectivity, capacity, power, cooling, and change management data in a visual DCIM platform. By bringing these functions together, institutions can improve resource planning, reduce reliance on manual tracking, identify capacity constraints, and better understand the impact of infrastructure changes.

NetZoom’s DCIM solution offers significant benefits to higher education institutions including:

Campus-wide infrastructure visibility: Helps IT and facilities teams maintain a centralized view of assets across data centers, MDF/IDF closets, labs, classrooms, and distributed campus locations.Improved planning for space, power, and cooling: Provides visibility into capacity utilization so institutions can better support growing digital learning, research computing, and administrative systems.Reduced reliance on manual tracking: Centralizes asset, connectivity, capacity, and change management data to help reduce spreadsheet dependency, duplicate records, and inconsistent documentation.Operational support for limited IT resources: Helps streamline day-to-day infrastructure management, giving campus teams better access to the information needed to plan changes, troubleshoot issues, and manage equipment lifecycles.Scalable support for evolving campus technology: Allows institutions to start with core DCIM functions and expand into areas such as monitoring, reporting, service management, integrations, and advanced capacity planning as their needs grow.

HONG KONG, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NOVVA Group (“Novva”), a global AI-enabling energy infrastructure platform, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of San Jose Solar Power Plant (“SJSP”), a utility-scale solar PV project in Bukidnon, Mindanao, from Mabuhay Power Holdings Corporation. The acquisition marks Novva’s first investment in the Philippines and a critical milestone in its strategy to build a scalable, bankable power platform across Southeast Asia.

SJSP is a 120 MWp greenfield solar project located in Barangay San Jose, in the Municipality of Quezon, Bukidnon. Once operational, it is expected to generate over 200 GWh of clean electricity per year. Construction is scheduled to begin in Q1 2027, with commercial operation targeted for 2028.

The transaction comes amid an unprecedented surge in Asian power demand, driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure. With energy availability emerging as the primary constraint on sustained economic growth, resilient power infrastructure has become vital. The project also advances the Philippines’ goal of a 35% renewable energy share by 2030, channelling clean capacity into one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economies.

Steven Liu, Founder and CEO of Novva, said: “Power availability has become one of the defining constraints on future growth. With SJSP, we are securing the strategic infrastructure needed to support the next wave of industrial and digital development. By combining disciplined execution with long-term partnerships, Novva is building a reliable clean energy foundation to power the future of Southeast Asia.”

SJSP will integrate directly into Novva’s regional platform, which combines renewable generation, flexible power solutions, energy storage, grid connectivity and infrastructure financing capabilities. Novva remains committed to scaling clean energy capacity to sustain the next generation of hyperscale data centres and digital economies.

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Several months of tense negotiations between the San Jose City Administration and thousands of dedicated City of San Jose workers have now resulted in two of the City’s largest worker contracts set to expire – just as the San Jose City Council leaves for their July recess. On Thursday, June 18, after receiving the City’s Last, Best, and Final Offer (LBFO) and working to reach a deal before contract expiration, San Jose workers represented by IFPTE Local 21 and MEF-AFSCME Local 101 have called for mediation in order to reach a fair agreement.

Last Wednesday, June 10, workers rallied at San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) to call on the San Jose City Administration to secure a contract that will allow the City of San Jose to retain and recruit excellent public workers. While negotiations continued after the rally, the City’s LBFO remains one that does not invest in city services and one that will not retain the city’s skilled workforce.

Members of both unions are concerned that the upcoming budget has proposed staffing cuts to several departments, including the Library, Public Works, and the Housing Department. Instead of investing in our community, city officials have elected to spend taxpayer money on corporate giveaways through massive contracts with ineffective AI companies and an outrageous $351 million subsidy towards hockey arena renovations. The City could develop a strategy that ensures corporations pay their fair share from benefitting directly from city services. Instead, San Jose insists on cutting taxes for some of the largest corporations that occupy the city, while residents and working families pay more.

“We are the workers who keep San Jose running every day. We’ve shown up at the bargaining table ready to negotiate a fair contract every week. It’s time for the City to turn things around in order to retain workers. San Jose workers and the residents we serve deserve better,” said Carlos Murillo, an Associate Engineer at SJC, and IFPTE Local 21 Bargaining Team Member. “It’s time to invest in our city services. It’s time to put San Jose first.”

“San Jose remains already one of the most thinly staffed major cities in California. The City has a real opportunity. With San Jose being a World Cup host city, we have seen our community come together. San Jose has the potential to highlight the amazing public services our city has to offer and the hard-working people who make those services happen,” said MEF Local 101 Chief Steward Heidi Mendiola, a Police Data Specialist.

San Jose workers haven’t gone on strike in two decades. Three years ago, San Jose workers organized a city-wide strike vote that shed light on the city’s dangerous understaffing and retention issues. Workers are disheartened to know that instead of working on revenue, this administration has instead continued to remain one of the few cities to cap its business license tax on large businesses, with its largest only paying $185,532 in taxes. This includes massive Fortune 500 companies, such as Cisco Systems, which reported $56 billion in revenue and $10 billion in profits for Fiscal Year 2025; PayPal Holdings, which reported $33 billion in revenue and $5.2 billion in profits; and Adobe Inc., which reported $23 billion in revenue and $7.1 billion in profits.
