How new local data centres will drive digital transformation in Africa
Fundamental to the digital transformation process and becoming an always-on enterprise is access to data, be it mission-critical, business-critical, or other. This requirement underpins every aspect of business as companies cannot be competitive without having high-speed and reliable access to the data hosted on a server, whether it is on-premise or in a data centre. In a world where virtualisation has become standard and businesses are doing more to understand customers using all manner of new data types, this connectivity to data takes on a whole new level of importance.

Fast restore the key to high availability in the modern data centre
By Aptronics Business Development Director Mark Perry
The key to maintaining availability for the modern data centre is not whether you've protected your data by backing up - it's how well you can recover.
Everyone loses data, all the time.

What matters then is not just whether you're backed up, but whether you can restore the lost data.

Globally, according to Veeam’s most recent Availability Survey, enterprises have unplanned downtime an average of 13 times a year, for up to 51 hours of downtime, which can add up to between $1.4m and $2.2m in lost revenue, decreased productivity and missed opportunities.
