#Cloud - $23.3B @19.7% YoY Growth for 2024 in Oz.... Maybe we are approaching Peak Cloud? Not likely.... when you consider 85% of IT spend is still "on-premise infrastructure"...I'd say there's plenty of runway to go!. Interesting to see #DaaS really starting to gain momentum. You'd expect a major uptick in #Data projects as the pre-cursor to AI investment...Hence, not sure #AI will dent the numbers in 2024 #b2bsales #commerce #salesleaders #leadership #strategy

Imagine you woke up one morning to find all your online accounts inaccessible, financial information vanished, and important documents nowhere to be found. This nightmare scenario became a reality for half a million UniSuper members when a Google Cloud failure wiped out their data for an entire week. This isn't just a minor inconvenience – it's a major disruption to livelihoods and peace of mind. The lesson is clear: don't put all your faith in one cloud provider, no matter how big or reputable they seem. Protect yourself by diversifying your backups. Utilise a reliable 3rd-party service that operates independently of major players like Google or Microsoft. It's a small price to pay for ensuring your data remains safe and accessible, no matter what happens in the cloud. Need help setting up a robust backup strategy? Our IT experts can assess your needs and implement a solution tailored to your business. Don't wait for disaster to strike. Contact us today and safeguard your data. #DataResilience #BackupStrategy #CloudOutage #UniSuper #ITSupport

A concerning story, and not just because of the story itself, but the lack of comment in Australian Media. "“Unprecedented” Google Cloud event wipes out customer account and its backups. UniSuper, a $135 billion pension account, details its cloud compute nightmare." UniSuper is an Australian Super Fund, and so far I have not heard, read or seen anything of it in the Australian media. But apart from that. How good are your backups? and redundancy/recovery plans. #informationtech https://lnkd.in/g3TBFVc3
