1/3 of UK businesses losing £4m a year due to network failures

Network instability is taking a serious toll on UK businesses, with over a quarter (33%) reporting revenue losses of up to £4 million due to network outages or poor performance. Alarmingly, an additional 18% have experienced losses exceeding £4 million. These findings come from an IDC InfoBrief, entitled Enterprise Horizons 2025: Technology Leaders Priorities: Achieving Digital Agility, commissioned by telecommunications company Expereo. Following a series of high-profile IT disruptions over the past year, ranging from cybersecurity breaches to connectivity failures, half (50%) of UK businesses have been compelled to re-evaluate their technology infrastructure and 35% of UK tech leaders say it’s caused networking and connectivity to rise higher up the C-suite agenda. Perhaps as a result, networking/connectivity now comes out on top in terms of the technologies UK businesses will prioritise in terms of financial investment over the next 12 months (40%). This is followed by cybersecurity (39%) and AI (35%). Last year, AI took the top spot (42%), followed by cybersecurity (37%) and networking/connectivity (35%). This highlights that AI is no longer the most urgent priority, being beaten by both networking and security. The urgency is well-founded. More than one in four UK organisations (27%) say that inadequate network and connectivity performance is actively threatening their growth plans for the coming year. At the same time, nearly half (49%) report that network limitations are holding back their ability to support large-scale data and AI initiatives. Alarmingly, just 5% of businesses in the UK believe their networks are fully prepared to support AI without any barriers. “To drive a sustainable competitive advantage, connectivity is no longer an IT concern – it’s a strategic business imperative," argues Ben Elms, CEO of Expereo. “This research confirms what many technology leaders are already experiencing firsthand: connectivity is now the backbone of business. As organisations race to adopt new AI solutions, the C-suite must treat network performance with the same urgency as cybersecurity and AI itself - because without it, businesses simply cannot succeed." Having the right talent in place is also critical for building and maintaining the robust network and connectivity infrastructure businesses need to thrive. However, the research suggests this may be easier said than done. Cybersecurity continues to top the list of areas where organisations struggle to find or retain skilled professionals (44%), closely followed by networking (40%). As a result, 40% of UK businesses say they plan to increase their reliance on external partners, such as vendors or managed service providers, to help bridge the networking skills gap.

Puglia 'Data Center Valley' set to become biggest AI hub in Europe

Puglia, a region of southern Italy located at the 'heel' of the peninsula, is seeking to redefine the digital landscape of the Mediterranean with the creation of the Puglia Data Center Valley, a development program that brings together three AI hyperscale data centre projects totalling more than 2 GW of power capacity. Data centre company Adriatic DC’s plans include the redevelopment of Bari’s former Manifattura Tabacchi industrial area into a 200 MW data centre, the development of a second 500 MW greenfield facility in Brindisi’s industrial area, and the Adriatic DC Hub, a 1.5 GW greenfield campus spanning 2,000 acres. Said hub is set to become the largest data centre complex currently under development in Europe and among the largest in the world, on par with the Stargate campus in the United States. This initiative arises from an unprecedented global demand for computing power - driven by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) - and aims to position Southern Italy at the heart of this epochal transformation. The overall strategy rests on solid infrastructural foundations. Puglia is the leading Italian region for electricity production from renewable sources, boasts operational international submarine digital backbones, and will soon be connected to the new Italy–Albania energy cable, designed to further strengthen the flow of renewable energy along the Adriatic corridor. In this context, the Regional Government of Puglia has established an interdepartmental working group on data centres, tasked with effectively coordinating permitting processes, defining technical guidelines, and facilitating dialogue with local authorities, thereby offering operators guidance and a dedicated institutional channel. "The Puglia Data Center Valley was created to place Southern Italy and Southern Europe at the centre of the new geopolitics of artificial intelligence," states Lorenzo Avello, CEO of Adriatic DC. "Global demand for computing power is growing at record rates. Our goal is to build an industrial platform capable of attracting strategic investment to projects with reliable execution timelines, generating skilled employment, and strengthening both European digital sovereignty and national data security. "Puglia offers industrial land availability, energy networks targeted for major future development by the TSO, global submarine digital links, and a favourable institutional environment - a rare and unique mix in Europe. We are firmly convinced that the south can position itself in the new global chessboard of artificial intelligence.” The first construction sites are scheduled to break ground by the end of 2026, with an initial investment phase of approximately €2 billion (£1.72 billion) for the first project. However, estimates suggest that, once fully operational, the total investment across the three projects - including direct, indirect, and infrastructure-related components - could exceed €100 billion (£85.88 billion) - an unprecedented level of capital for Southern Italy. The anticipated impacts include thousands of direct and indirect jobs, as well as the creation of new industrial supply chains in the ICT sector, such as AI-as-a-Service and cybersecurity. In a Europe that must accelerate toward strategic autonomy, digital resilience, and decarbonisation, the Puglia Data Center Valley seeks to position itself as an active platform, ready to engage with stakeholders in the global technological transformation.

Industry analysts urge data trust over AI hype

As organisations continue to increasingly embrace AI to unlock new operations, industry analysts - at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in Sydney - urged a critical reminder that without trustworthy data, even the most advanced AI systems can lead businesses astray. Amid rising interest in generative AI and autonomous agents, business leaders are being reminded that flashy AI capabilities are meaningless if built on unreliable data. According to information technology research and advisory company Gartner's 2024 survey, data quality and availability remain the biggest barriers to effective AI implementation. If the foundation is flawed, so is the intelligence built on top of it. While achieving perfect data governance is an admirable goal, it's often impractical in fast-moving business environments. Instead, analysts recommend implementing "trust models" that assess the reliability of data based on its origin, lineage, and level of curation. These models enable more nuanced, risk-aware decision-making and can prevent the misuse of data without stalling innovation. Richard Bovey, Chief for Data at AND Digital, comments, "Trust in data isn't just a technical challenge, it's deeply cultural and organisational. While advanced tools and trust models can help address the reliability of data, true confidence in data quality comes from clear ownership, clear practices, and company-wide commitment to transparency. "Too often, organisations are rushing into AI initiatives without fixing the basics. According to our research, 56% of businesses are implementing AI despite knowing their data may not be accurate in order to prevent from falling behind their competitors. "Businesses must consider taking a data and AI approach to their technical operations to build trust, cross-functional collaboration, and ongoing education. Only then can AI initiatives truly succeed." At the summit, autonomy was a central theme. AI systems may act independently in low-risk or time-sensitive situations, but full autonomy still raises concerns as, while users accept AI advice, they're still adjusting to autonomous AI decision-making. Stuart Harvey, CEO of Datactics, argues, "One of the biggest misconceptions we see is the belief that AI performance is purely a function of the model itself, when in reality, it all starts with data. Without well-governed, high-quality data, even the most sophisticated AI systems will produce inconsistent or misleading results. "Organisations often underestimate the foundational role of data management, but these aren't back-office tasks, they're strategic enablers of trustworthy AI and those businesses that rush into AI without addressing fragmented or unverified data sources put themselves at significant risk. Strong data foundations aren't just nice to have in today's technical landscape, they're essential for reliable, ethical, and scalable AI adoption." Gartner predicts that by 2027, 20% of business processes will be fully managed by autonomous analytics and these "perceptive" systems will move beyond dashboards, offering proactive, embedded insights. The company also believes that by 2030, AI agents will replace 30% of SaaS interfaces, turning apps into intelligent data platforms. To thrive, data leaders should thus prioritise trust, influence, and organisational impact, or risk being sidelined. For more from Gartner, click here.

Data centre district heating project delivered at QMUL

Schneider Electric, a player in energy management and automation, and its EcoXpert Partner, Advanced Power Technology (APT), have delivered a data centre modernisation project at the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). Together, the companies have created a platform for heat recovery at the University’s data centre, enabling waste heat from the facility to be connected to a campus-wide district heating network, providing heating and hot water for the buildings and student accommodation nearby. The project both reduces the campus' scope one CO2 emissions - in line with Queen Mary’s sustainability goals - and has also allowed it to reduce the costs of its energy bills. Furthermore, the new energy-efficient data centre has provided the university with increased resiliency and processing power for its on-premises, large-scale research and intensive computing applications, helping it to provision for future expansion. Queen Mary University of London is ranked 94th in the world in the 2025-26 edition of the US News and World Report Best Global Universities rankings, and today has over 32,000 students from more than 170  nationalities and 5,700 staff - with nine Nobel Prize winners among its former staff and students. It says it is committed to conducting "world-leading research" and adheres to the principles of sustainable development across all areas of its operational and academic activities. Its vision is to create and oversee the evolution of a large-scale distributed computing infrastructure needed to maintain the UK’s position as a world leader in particle physics. As such, the university is a participant in the Grid for Particle Physics (GridPP) project, a collaborative effort among particle physicists, computer scientists, and engineers to analyse data generated by high-energy physics experiments, such as those conducted at the world-famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. The size, scale, and importance of this work means that the university must operate and maintain a highly-efficient, on-premises data centre - ensuring it meets the technical requirements of existing and future research developments, especially those requiring High Throughput Computing (HTC) applications. Prior to the modernisation project, Queen Mary’s data centre was experiencing reliability, scalability, and availability issues which required manual, on-site interventions to fix. It was also becoming outdated and its operations were, at times, impacted due to a build-up of heat in its server racks from its inefficient cooling systems. Future research computing may also have been hindered due to the data centre’s hosting limitations. The refresh was, therefore, vital to improve and stabilise day-to-day operations. In addition, its proximity to the campus’ district heating network presented an opportunity for a new solution be designed and implemented to bring the data centre in line with the university’s sustainability goals. Schneider Electric’s data centre, power, and cooling solutions were already installed across Queen Mary’s estate, so when it came to the plans to upgrade its operations, the university directly sought help from Schneider Electric’s partner ecosystem. Schneider Electric’s long-standing EcoXpert Partners, Advanced Power Technology (APT), an independent supplier of critical power and cooling systems, was selected to help Queen Mary meet its modernisation and sustainability goals. Key to the strategy was the integration of components including Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Row Data Centre system. It also incorporated APC NetShelter Racks, APC NetBotz environmental monitoring equipment, InRow cooling, and EcoStruxure Data Centre Expert software. The new configuration provided by APT, according to Schneider Electric, delivered a more energy-efficient cooling solution and enabled the heat recovery to support the university’s sustainability strategy – allowing Queen Mary to transfer waste heat and reuse it directly for heating and hot water across various buildings, including student accommodation, via a district heating system. Professor Jonathan Hays, Queen Mary University of London, comments, “The support we've had from APT and Schneider Electric has been unparalleled. Both companies came together to help us develop an exciting and innovative project which would enable us to provision for the future. The biggest impact is that we were able to deliver on what we promised while improving our sustainability. The new data centre is more reliable and efficient than ever and, through the heat recovery, we have significantly reduced our spending on heating and hot water while gaining enhanced reputational benefits from taking a lead on sustainability within our data centre operations.” “The project at Queen Mary demonstrates how digital infrastructure can be a catalyst for net zero, allowing today’s organisations to benefit from the power of advanced computing,” adds Mark Yeeles, Vice President, Secure Power division, Schneider Electric UK & Ireland. “By combining innovative engineering with sustainable data centre solutions, the university has developed an enhanced infrastructure platform that will meet its research computing requirements while supporting its sustainability strategy.” “Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Data Centre solutions were essential to help Queen Mary bring together its power, cooling, racks, and management systems, and support the deployment of its high-density IT equipment needed for its research,” claims John Andrew, Technical Sales Manager, APT. “This approach also created a platform to support its sustainability objectives via heat reuse, while enabling the University to act proactively and preventatively to intercept and remediate potential future issues.” For more from Schneider Electric, click here.
