World Backup Day: AI pivotal in reshaping backup for SMBs

Story image World Backup Day serves as a crucial reminder for Australia’s 2.5 million Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) about the potential devastation of data loss, which can lead to significant financial challenges and broader economic repercussions. Recent insights from Kaseya’s State of Backup and Recovery 2025 report underline the ongoing issues faced by organisations in managing backup and recovery, especially as cloud adoption and virtual desktop usage continue to grow.

In response to these challenges, Nadir Merchant from Kaseya emphasises the transformative role of AI in enhancing backup and disaster recovery […]

The combination of financial uncertainty, changing patterns of student engagement, and the seismic arrival of artificial intelligence is pointing to a future for higher education learning and teaching and a digital student experience that will certainly have some core elements in common with current practice but is likely in many respects to look rather different.

Institutional leader Our conversations with sector leaders and experts over the past six months indicate an ambition to build consistent, inclusive and engaging digital learning environments and to deploy data much more strategically. Getting it right opens up all kinds of possibilities to extend the reach of higher education and to innovate in models for engagement. But future change demands different […]
