In this data decade, organisations are looking to get the most out of their data, developing new breakthroughs in technology that everyone will experience in some way. The more effectively an organisation can harness the power of this data, the better – to ensure it can adapt to fast-changing markets and customer dynamics.

The world of financial services is changing – for the better. A multitude of virtual banking and payment options, cardless and accountless services, and now, Banking as a Service (BaaS) are making financial inclusion the norm instead of a privilege.

Hybrid IT and hybrid cloud are terms that we are continually confronted with. Still, when asked to explain what this translates to, there is often a pause in the room as people try and ascertain if it's hybridity or multi-cloud, which we are referring to.

According to analysts, it is estimated that the number of active Internet of Things (IoT) devices globally will surpass 25.4 billion in 2030. It is an astronomical figure and paired with the digital transformation of the global economy, data generation will grow exponentially.

As we continue to strive for a cleaner planet, governments, industries, and organisations around the world are uniting to build a sustainable future. The time is ripe to explore innovations and technologies that can work to reduce carbon emissions and help to facilitate better resource efficiency.

The Cloud Protection Trends Report 2023, covers four key 'as a Service' scenarios: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service (BaaS/DRaaS).

Businesses are increasingly moving to the cloud, not only to survive potential business disruptions, but to take advantage of the scalability, remote work enablement and cost efficiencies. Their investments into the cloud will help them refine and reimagine their digital strategies with an eye on remote productivity, sustainability, and security.

The data centre sector’s proven record of dealing with massive demand growth can be applied to wider sustainability challenges. An important principle in the development of IT over the decades has been Moore’s Law. Simply put, it predicted that transistor density in processors would double every two years as development progresses.  

The Africa Report 2022 has revealed a continent that has shown stable growth, increased innovation and consistent reform in a bid to create a competitive environment, foster free trade and improve the investment climate. For investors navigating the 54 different countries and relatively opaque market – only a few provide key economic and business data – the landscape is changing, providing greater clarity, visibility and opportunity. 

Technology continues to evolve and accelerate, and traditional approaches are increasingly limiting enterprises' ability to adapt, innovate and compete - especially the shift to infrastructure-as-code, creating substantial new opportunities for rapid and agile innovation.
