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.

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.

Premium haircare brand strengthens marketplace control while maintaining salon channel growth

MELBOURNE, Australia, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Premium haircare brand Kevin Murphy has grown its Amazon Australia revenue by 141% with ecommerce accelerator Pattern, transforming the marketplace from a grey market challenge into one of the brand’s fastest growing retail channels.

Distributed in Australia by Ozdare, Kevin Murphy partnered with Pattern to manage its presence on Amazon Australia amid growing consumer demand and unauthorised reseller activity.

“Given the growing influence of marketplaces in Australia, it was important for Kevin Murphy to establish a stronger presence where consumers are increasingly searching for and purchasing products,” explained George Leighton, Head of Retail (Consumer) for Ozdare/Kevin Murphy. “At the same time, maintaining the balance between our professional salon channel and consumer retail presence remained a key priority throughout the process.”

Launched in November 2025 ahead of the peak Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) shopping period, Kevin Murphy entered Amazon Australia with no official marketplace presence despite significant existing consumer demand on the platform. Within just four months of launch, the brand increased units sold by 115% quarter-on-quarter while simultaneously increasing average order value by 8.4%, demonstrating strong consumer demand for premium haircare products on Amazon Australia.

Pattern’s ANZ Managing Director, Merline McGregor said the results reflected a broader shift occurring across the Australian retail landscape as premium brands increasingly embrace marketplaces as strategic growth channels rather than viewing them as discount environments.

“Many premium beauty and haircare brands have historically approached Amazon cautiously because of concerns around pricing control, unauthorised sellers and protecting brand equity,” McGregor said. “What Kevin Murphy has demonstrated is that with the right retail media, marketplace and brand protection strategy, Amazon can become a highly effective growth channel that complements existing retail and salon partnerships rather than competing against them.”

Kevin Murphy’s growth trajectory is significant given the brand launched during the peak BFCM promotional period yet continued accelerating well beyond the initial sales surge. Strong March performance against a BFCM-boosted comparison period highlighted that the brand’s Amazon Australia strategy was driving sustained long-term growth rather than short-term discount-driven spikes.

Working with Pattern has helped Kevin Murphy regain greater control over its marketplace presence and pricing environment. Since launch, Buy Box ownership increased from 65% to 91% while multiple unauthorised sellers were successfully removed from the platform, helping to protect brand integrity.

As part of the ongoing partnership, Pattern developed and manages Kevin Murphy’s Amazon Australia storefront, optimising all product listings and implementing a full-funnel advertising strategy spanning branded search, generic category discovery and competitor targeting. By the end of the first quarter, approximately 80% of ad-driven sales were coming from first-time Kevin Murphy customers on Amazon Australia, highlighting the platform’s ability to drive new customer acquisition.

“The reality is consumers are already searching for premium brands like Kevin Murphy on marketplaces, regardless of whether those brands officially sell there or not. What Kevin Murphy has demonstrated is that when brands take ownership of that customer experience with the right marketplace, retail media and brand protection strategy, Amazon can become a powerful channel for both growth and new customer acquisition,” concluded McGregor.
