In today’s digital-first enterprise environment, organisations operate across multiple locations, platforms, and networks. With employees connecting remotely, collaborating from branch offices, or accessing systems via mobile endpoints, enterprise networks have become both expansive and vulnerable. Which is why, with cyber threats escalating, backup strategies are no longer optional - they are fundamental to continuity.

A rtificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how businesses operate, driving innovation in almost every industry. According to a 2024 survey by Writer, 89% of enterprises are either actively using or exploring AI solutions, with AI inference playing a crucial role in deployment. Additionally, the survey found that 47% of companies have already integrated AI into customer support functions, while 45% are using AI for business process automation.

The data centre community has spent the last ten years investing in air cooling systems for racks. These were mostly indirect air systems that could provide effective cooling for racks up to 20kW and deliver a very credible PUE of 1.2. These data centres were mostly purpose built for these deployments and did not require significant external footprint.

The seismic shift to AI/HPC has caused significant supply/demand issues not just in the UK but across Europe and the world in general. Going forward, data centres will be designed to accommodate AI HPC (Training model) for racks up to 150kW, AI HPC (inference model/edge) for racks up to 50kW and HPC cloud for racks up to 50kW. The migration of our existing data centre base in the UK to support these rack power densities will create many challenges.

Ransomware has come a long way from its early days. What began as random attacks on data centres has transformed into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. The latest tactic raising concern among security professionals is known as shadow encryption, a kind of stealthy and sophisticated method designed to evade traditional detection and force organizations into paying massive ransoms.

At the core of ransomware’s evolution is one unchanging motive, profit. Threat actors are looking to make money and they’re targeting million-dollar payouts. Many operate from regions where enforcement is lax or non-existent, and in some cases, with tacit or direct support from ‘the state.’

With advancements in AI/ML, cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly complex and persistent.

Jane Frankland, CEO of KnewStart, writes in her ‘Key Cybersecurity Trends for 2025. My Predictions’ blog that “an attacker could map a country’s power grid vulnerabilities without triggering any alarms, setting the stage for future, large-scale operations.”
