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.

Data centre gas connections enquiries surge

James Earl, CEO of Future Energy Networks (FEN), outlines how gas networks received well over 100 connection enquiries from data centre developers in 2024 and 2025. Published by FEN – the representative body for the UK gas networks – the figures demonstrate how enquiries have risen exponentially, with around three times as many submitted in 2025 compared to 2024. Thiss dramatic increase in the number of data centre enquiries to gas networks reflects the long delays developers are encountering in accessing the electricity grid. James explains that, to get ahead in the global AI race, bolster economic growth and secure future investment, the UK, and the data centre sector specifically, must harness the immense potential of both gas and electricity systems.

'Alarming' gaps in US data centres’ cyber security defences

Rahul Powar, explains that, as cyber threats increasingly target critical infrastructure, a new analysis from Red Sift exposes major email security weaknesses across the US’s largest data center operators. Despite powering the country’s digital economy, more than a quarter of the top 100 data centres fail to enforce basic email authentication, leaving the door wide open to domain spoofing and phishing.

A viable pathway to a genuine, distributed, green, and secure digital future

Andy Bates, CISO/Chief Product Officer at StonesThro, explains how the company, working in partnership with Cornerstone, a leading mobile infrastructure services provider, has successfully executed a groundbreaking Proof of Concept (POC) for micro-edge computing. The trials have demonstrated that distributed architectures can deliver sub-10ms latency, essential for many IOT applications, while significantly reducing the carbon footprint of AI and data processing. As Andy summarises, taking the compute power usually locked away in massive warehouses and deploying it in the regions where it is actually needed and makes the cloud local, sovereign, and sustainable.
