High AI adoption, but limited readiness across Asia

Chris Street, Group Chief Revenue Officer of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, discusses the findings of a new regional research study, Mind the Gap: Bridging the AI Infrastructure Readiness Divide, examining how organisations across Asia are progressing from AI ambition to execution. Commissioned by STT GDC with research partner Ecosystm, the study reveals that AI ambition across Asia is high, with nearly 90% of organisations having embarked on their AI journeys. However, a significant 71% remain in the "Builder" stage of maturity, where initial AI pilots struggle to scale into production environments capable of delivering consistent and measurable return on investment (ROI).

Micromanaging data centre infrastructure brings maximum rewards

Mike Slevin, Director of EMEA market at Fluke Corporation, explains how, as AI demand accelerates, new research from the company reveals a growing confidence crisis among data centre professionals, raising concerns about the sector’s ability to scale reliably. 22% fully trust that their test and measurement data reflects real-world operating conditions - confidence drops further under pressure, with just 19% expressing full trust in data accuracy during peak load or failure scenarios. Mike discusses what needs to be done, with regular maintenance and better monitoring seen as critical to reducing downtime.

How to address external infrastructure failures and outages linked to connectivity issues

Richard Petrie, CTO at LINX, discusses the recent Uptime Institute’s Annual Outages Analysis Report which finds that networking and connectivity continue to sit at the top of the most common causes of IT outages, reinforcing the importance of resilience in this area. As organisations face growing pressure from network congestion, external threats and increasing reliance on third-party providers, resilience across both network and data centre infrastructure is becoming critical. Richard explains that the backbone of a strong redundancy strategy is a secondary fabric that allows data to be rerouted during periods of disruption or risk, helping organisations remain operational even when the primary network is compromised.
