Q-Day - are you ready?

Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader for Network and Edge at Kyndryl. Spends his time helping major organisations modernise their infrastructure to make the most of AI, strengthen security and prepare for the disruption of quantum computing. Here he discusses the approach of Q-Day, the point when quantum computers will be able to break today’s encryption. Despite the urgency, only 39% of leaders believe their IT infrastructure is ready for threats such as quantum enabled cyber-attacks. Paul shares insights as to how organisations can prepare both for the current challenges around AI adoption and the prospect of quantum computing.

Mind the gap!

Alex Stoewer, CEO of Greenlight Data Centers, outlines the data centre challenge as AI adoption is moving faster than infrastructure build out. Greenlight builds for the real world, one where extreme weather is normal, grid instability is rising and every hour of downtime costs millions. Alex discusses how Greenlight shortens build timelines through early utility partnerships, de-risks projects with local stakeholder engagement and future-proofs facilities against the kinds of failures that have shut down hyperscalers in recent years.

AI pacesetters likely to increase their business advantage in the near future

Rob Lay, Cisco, discusses the results from the third annual Cisco AI Readiness Index. A small but consistent group of companies surveyed — the ‘Pacesetters,’ about 13% of organizations for the last three years — outperform their peers across every measure of AI. The Pacesetters’ sustained advantage indicates a new form of resilience: a disciplined, system-level approach that balances strategic drivers with the data and infrastructure needed to keep pace with AI’s accelerating evolution. Rob explains what sets apart the Pacesetters and also offers advice to the majority of organisations who are caught in the gap between AI ambition and operational readiness.

Meshing matters more than ever in the data centre

Keith Sullivan, Director of Strategic Innovation at AFL, explains what meshing means in the context of data centres and why it is particularly important when it comes to GPU-intensive, AI compute workloads. Keith also outlines the common strategies used to implement meshing in a data centre and shares his thoughts as to how meshing will evolve over the next few years, with silicon photonics and co-packaged optics on the horizon.
