CIQ expands Fuzzball to full multi-cloud so AI and HPC teams ship faster and spend less, with absolute workflow reproducibility and portability

Published

Fuzzball intelligently meta-orchestrates AI and HPC workloads across CoreWeave, AWS, GCP, OCI, Azure and on-premises infrastructure from one control plane

RENO, Nev., June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CIQ, the enterprise software company behind Rocky Linux and the Fuzzball AI and HPC orchestration platform, today announced full multi-cloud support for Fuzzball across CoreWeave, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Microsoft Azure. Enterprise teams define an AI training, inference or HPC workflow once and execute it across any of these environments or on-premises infrastructure, with Fuzzball routing each job automatically to the optimal destination based on cost, performance and data locality.

Enterprise AI and HPC teams pay a compounding price for every cloud (or system) they run on: rebuilt pipelines, rewritten deployment scripts, profiling, testing and validation, before a single workload can run on a new infrastructure. That cost scales directly against the speed the business demands. Fuzzball eliminates it and completely levels the playing field.

A genomics team that validates a sequencing pipeline on AWS moves it to Azure or OCI without modifying a single line in the workflow definition. A model training job that requires H100 density routes to CoreWeave automatically, while a data-sensitive simulation stays on-premises by policy. The workflow definition, container images, data orchestration and job sequencing remain identical across every environment. Teams reach production faster, access better GPU capacity at lower cost and carry no operational overhead for every cloud they add.

“AI teams today are asked to ship faster, control costs and maintain sovereignty over their data, simultaneously, across infrastructure that was never designed to work together,” said Gregory Kurtzer, CEO and founder of CIQ. “We built Fuzzball to solve that problem at the architectural level. When your workflow definition abstracts its requirements properly, you get portable access to every GPU environment the market offers and the freedom to route to wherever the best price, performance and data policy lives. Controlling your infrastructure and workloads is what enterprise AI infrastructure requires for production, and no other platform delivers it.”

One control plane across five clouds and on-premises
Fuzzball’s multi-cloud architecture rests on a provider-agnostic workflow definition. The file that describes compute jobs, data movement, container images and resource requirements carries no cloud-specific logic. Fuzzball’s orchestration layer translates that definition into concrete infrastructure on whichever environment sits underneath, whether that means Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, AWS or CoreWeave.

Fuzzball federates across all five cloud environments, alongside on-premises clusters. It simultaneously evaluates available environments at runtime and routes each job to its optimal destination. Enterprises gain the GPU density of CoreWeave, the breadth of three major hyperscalers and the sovereignty of on-premises infrastructure from one control plane, with no separate toolchains, deployment scripts or IAM models per provider.

One security model across every environment
Each cloud deployment is provisioned through a two-phase automated process that stands up a complete, production-ready cluster without manual intervention. Fuzzball maintains one IAM model, one set of RBAC policies and one secrets management posture across every cloud it runs on. Static credentials are eliminated at every layer: Workload Identity on GCP, Managed Identities on Azure, Dynamic Groups on OCI and IAM Roles on AWS. Security and compliance posture travel with the workflow, not the cloud.

“Fuzzball turns multi-cloud from a liability into a competitive advantage,” said Bjorn Hovland, president of CIQ. “Five clouds used to mean five IAM models, five deployment pipelines and five sets of operational overhead, with complexity and risk being multiplied.”

Availability
Fuzzball’s CoreWeave, AWS, GCP, OCI and Azure deployments are available now. On-premises deployment on clusters built with Warewulf, VMware or bare metal remains a first-class target. Organizations evaluating multi-cloud AI and HPC infrastructure can request a demo at ciq.com/products/fuzzball.

By

Building on UL 1741, IEEE 1547 and CEC listing, Mango Power S combines 97% CEC efficiency, single-stage Cyclo topology and intelligent anti-backflow control for a simpler owner-led solar experience

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mango Power, a clean energy technology company and home energy brand, today announced that Mango Power S has been certified by Intertek to UL 3700, which addresses Interactive Plug-In Photovoltaic Equipment and Systems.

The certification expands Mango Power S’s established U.S. credentials—including UL 1741, IEEE 1547 and California Energy Commission (CEC) listing—to include plug-in solar applications. It marks another step in Mango Power’s effort to make residential solar safer, simpler to deploy and more accessible to homeowners.

Mango Power S combines a 97% CEC-efficient single-stage Cyclo microinverter topology, Wi-Fi Mesh connectivity, app-based monitoring and a 25-year limited microinverter warranty. Paired with the 200A Mango Power Smart Gateway Lite, the system also supports whole-home energy monitoring and zero-export-capable control with a 200ms anti-backflow response.

“UL 3700 certification is an important milestone for Mango Power S and our vision for owner-led home energy,” said Steve Wang, CEO of Mango Power. “Together with our existing UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 credentials and CEC listing, it strengthens the foundation for a DIY plug-in solar experience built around independently evaluated equipment, efficient power conversion and intelligent energy management.”

A New Milestone for DIY Plug-In Solar

UL 3700 addresses Interactive Plug-In Photovoltaic equipment and systems, commonly known as PIPV. Certification to these requirements gives homeowners, installers, distributors and industry partners an additional independently evaluated basis for considering Mango Power S in plug-in solar projects.

Plug-in solar can give homeowners a more direct path to generating electricity. Customers can select a defined product configuration, evaluate their available space and daytime energy use, and manage the project around their own needs instead of beginning with a traditional, sales-led solar process.

Mango Power believes homeowners should have more control over their energy choices while still having access to professional support when needed. With this vision, Mango Power introduces a “DIY, not alone” approach, allowing homeowners to select their system and plan their projects while adding qualified electrical support when required by installation conditions or local requirements.

By bringing the principal components together in a coordinated solution, Mango Power S is designed to reduce project complexity, improve deployment efficiency and help lower certain equipment, installation and project-management costs.

97% CEC Efficiency Through Single-Stage Cyclo Topology

The core architecture of Mango Power S is a single-stage Cyclo microinverter topology developed for efficient, compact power conversion.

Mango Power S achieves 97% CEC efficiency and up to 99.9% MPPT efficiency, helping convert available solar energy into usable AC electricity. Its single-stage architecture simplifies the power-conversion path, supported by Mango Power’s control algorithms, thermal design and system-level optimization.

Each microinverter performs independent conversion at the panel level, helping limit the effect that shading or differences in one panel’s output have on other panels.

A sealed, IP68-rated enclosure supports outdoor operation. Anti-islanding and rapid-shutdown functions provide system protections, while a 25-year limited microinverter warranty, subject to applicable terms, supports long-term ownership.

Mango Power’s development is also strengthened by its global partnership with Infineon. The collaboration combines Infineon’s power-semiconductor technologies with Mango Power’s capabilities in Cyclo topology, control algorithms and system optimization to advance conversion efficiency, compact design, thermal performance and intelligent control.

Smart Gateway Lite Supports Self-Consumption and Anti-Backflow Control

The 200A Mango Power Smart Gateway Lite monitors household consumption, solar production and grid power flow. When correctly installed and configured, it provides zero-export-capable energy control with a 200ms anti-backflow response.

Combined with Wi-Fi Mesh connectivity and the Mango Power App, the system gives users a clear view of solar generation and household energy use. This visibility can help households shift appropriate electricity use into solar-producing hours, increase on-site consumption of the energy they generate and reduce electricity purchased from the grid during those periods.

Actual production, self-consumption and electricity-bill savings depend on sunlight, panel placement, system capacity, household consumption, electricity rates and other conditions.

120V and 240V Options for Different Plug-In Solar Needs

Mango Power is developing its plug-in solar portfolio around different household energy needs and installation scenarios.

Mango Power S PIPV 1200W Kit

The Mango Power S PIPV 1200W Kit combines:

Four 300W solar panels;Four 120V Mango Power S microinverters;Mounting stands and AC connection accessories;A 200A Smart Gateway Lite; andMango Power App monitoring.

The packaged 120V solution gives customers a defined starting point for a smaller, owner-led solar project, bringing the principal generation, connection and monitoring components together in one system.

Upcoming 240V Split-Phase Plug-In Solar

Mango Power also plans to introduce a 240V split-phase plug-in solar configuration for customers seeking greater generation capacity.

Its split-phase design connects solar generation across both legs of a typical U.S. residential electrical service, helping maintain balanced generation and allowing eligible household loads on either leg to use available solar energy.

The forthcoming system is being developed as a solar-only, grid-tied plug-in solution. It is intended to expand the range of household electricity demand that can be offset by daytime solar generation.

Together, the 120V and upcoming 240V options will give homeowners greater flexibility to select a plug-in solar configuration based on available space, daytime consumption, desired capacity and site-specific electrical requirements.

Making Home Solar Easier to Own

By combining UL 3700 certification with existing UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 credentials and CEC listing, Mango Power S establishes a strong technical foundation for DIY-minded plug-in solar.

Its 97% CEC-efficient single-stage topology, panel-level power conversion, connected monitoring, 25-year limited warranty and zero-export-capable energy management are designed to simplify solar planning, improve deployment efficiency and help more households generate and use their own electricity.

System capacity, connection method and installation requirements depend on the selected equipment, electrical design and applicable local rules. Electrical installation and utility interconnection may require a licensed electrician and local approval.

Wild Reaches 900,000+ Verified Members Across 57 Countries, Challenging What Dating Apps Are Supposed to Be

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wild, a dating app built around casual connections, has reached more than 900,000 verified members across 57 countries, marking a new milestone for a platform built around a simple idea: not every connection needs to become a relationship.

Dating apps have always come with their own set of expectations.

Who should message first.
What to say.
How long to wait.
When to meet.
And, eventually, what the connection is supposed to become.

But people do not always open a dating app looking for the same thing.

Sometimes, you want a relationship.

Sometimes, you want a date.

Sometimes, you want to flirt, explore the chemistry, or find a hookup.

And sometimes, you just want someone.

That is the space Wild was built for.

Not Every Connection Needs a Destination

Dating is often presented as a progression: match, date, relationship.

But not every connection follows that path.

You can be attracted to someone without wanting a future with them. You can want intimacy without wanting a partner. You can want to meet someone for one night, a few weeks, or simply for as long as the chemistry lasts.

That does not necessarily make the connection less meaningful. It simply means the connection has a different purpose.

Wild puts that idea at the center of its experience.

The platform is designed for people looking for different kinds of connections, including casual dating, flirting, hookups, friends-with-benefits relationships, or simply meeting someone who wants the same thing.

Rather than assuming every match is the beginning of a relationship, Wild gives people room to decide what they actually want from the connection.

Casual Doesn’t Mean Careless

Casual dating is often treated as the opposite of serious dating.

But wanting something casual does not mean wanting something careless.

Attraction still matters. Chemistry still matters. Privacy still matters. And knowing who you are actually meeting matters.

That is why verification is built into the Wild experience.

Wild uses 100% forced verification, requiring members to complete the platform’s verification process rather than leaving verification as an optional feature. The approach puts real-person verification at the center of how members connect.

Wild is also LGBTQ+ inclusive, with a community spanning 57 countries, bringing together people with different identities, preferences, and reasons for connecting.

A Different Reason to Open a Dating App

The growth of Wild to more than 900,000 verified members points to the variety of reasons people use dating apps.

Not everyone is searching for “the one.”

Some people are looking for chemistry.

Some are looking for intimacy.

Some want something casual.

Some want a hookup.

And some simply want someone.

There does not have to be one correct reason to connect.

A connection can be romantic, physical, casual, temporary, or something that evolves naturally. What matters is that the people involved are looking for something compatible.

Wild was created around that idea: different connections can have different purposes, and people should be free to choose their own.

About Wild

Wild is a dating app focused on casual connections and direct intentions. Launched in 2016, Wild has more than 900,000 verified members across 57 countries and uses 100% forced verification. The platform is LGBTQ+ inclusive and supports different types of connections, including casual dating, flirting, hookups, and friends-with-benefits relationships.
