The UK has about 1.59GW of currently installed datacentre capacity at just under 190 sites. If we add existing capacity to that which is planned to complete by 2030 and which has planning consent, we get 4.9GW.

With this feature, you can bring entire folders, ML models, dbt adapters, utilities, directly into UDxFs and Stored Procedures without zipping, file-by-file bookkeeping, or manual updates.

HHS Chief Information Officer Clark Minor stated that consolidating the CTO, CDO, and CAIO roles within his office allows the department to move faster on shared platforms and protect systems more effectively.

Rhyne's attack involved unauthorized remote desktop sessions, deletion of network administrator accounts, and changing of passwords, showcasing significant security vulnerabilities.

Neocloud providers, which include the likes of Nscale, CoreWeave and Carbon3.ai, are having a somewhat disruptive impact on the market by making huge commitments to build out hyperscale datacentres in support of the UK government's AI growth agenda. These providers are also taking up capacity in colocation datacentres that some of the hyperscale cloud giants previously committed to renting space in, before pulling out.

AI Armor provides dynamic runtime security and relies on a central policy engine in the Universal Management Suite (UMS) to meet compliance requirements, ensuring that organizations can manage their security effectively.

The foundation for modernization rests on a consistent environment that can host virtual machines and cloud native applications side by side. Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenStack Platform together create a unified telco cloud that supports high throughput network functions and the container platforms used by modern application teams.

Too often, IT professionals feel like "order takers" for business groups - told what systems to implement or troubleshoot instead of being asked how technology can solve bigger business problems. Making the leap from support tech to strategic advisor takes time. The people who do it well don't just focus on fixing issues, they learn the business, talk in plain language, focus on results instead of tasks, and look ahead to prevent problems rather than just reacting to them.

They slow down innovation, increase maintenance costs, and make it harder to scale or adapt to changing market demands. However, businesses choose to stay in this "toxic relationship" rather than break free of legacy constraints because the "breakup" is associated with risks, such as potential system downtime, data loss, disruption of fragile business logic, security vulnerabilities, and temporary drops in productivity - risks that can be significantly reduced with a preliminary software audit.

A future-proof IT infrastructure is often positioned as a universal solution that can withstand any change. However, such a solution does not exist. Nevertheless, future-proofing is an important concept for IT leaders navigating continuous technological developments and security risks, all while ensuring that daily business operations continue. The challenge is finding a balance between reactive problem solving and proactive planning, because overlooking a change can cost your organization. So, how do you successfully prepare for the future without that one-size-fits-all solution?

Most businesses, which includes modern ones, invest heavily in technology, but they rarely plan for its eventual and inevitable exit strategy. Generally speaking, companies spend millions on the latest hardware while overlooking the critical phase when those assets reach their end. This lack of planning creates a massive gap in the operational lifecycle of many otherwise successful global organizations. Decisions made at the end of a device's life carry real business risks that can impact the bottom line financially and environmentally speaking.

This new reality is forcing organizations to undertake careful assessments before making platform decisions for AI. The days when IT leaders could simply sign off on wholesale cloud migrations, confident it was always the most strategic choice, are over. In the age of AI, the optimal approach is usually hybrid. Having openly championed this hybrid path even when it was unpopular, I welcome the growing acceptance of these ideas among decision-makers and industry analysts.
