In the UK, hybrid multi-cloud models are set to increase from 19% today to 26% over the next three years with use of multiple public clouds set to increase from 11% today to 46% in one to three years. That latter number is well ahead of EMEA and global figures. The top five drivers of deployment platform choice are performance (55%), cost management (53%), data sovereignty/privacy (44%), ransomware/malware protection (33%) and flexibility (33%). Other factors included support for sophisticated data services such as backup and snapshots, ability to deploy AI optimally, and sustainability. www.nutanix.com Large businesses floundering to tackle cyber threats Cyber security firm IDEE commissioned an independent survey of more than 500 IT and cyber security professionals within UK businesses. It found that 74% of respondents from large businesses (more than 500 employees) believe it has become far more challenging to defend against cyber-attacks since the COVID-induced rise of remote and hybrid working – only 50% of respondents from small businesses (less than 50 employees) said the same thing. The survey also found that 32% of respondents from small businesses are unaware of the reputational cost of a cyber-attack, but only half as many (16%) respondents from large organisations were similarly unaware. www.getidee.com David Nuttall, Head of Distributor Sales, Konica Minolta James Hosking, Sales Director, DSales Paul Kamlesh, Technical Director, Copybox Tanika Paul, Account Executive, Copybox Ryan Eastwood, Managing Director, CSL Business Design Centre · London · 17 September 2024 ICT · MANAGED IT · MOBILE · PRINT 24 tech-live.co.uk
