Most IT leaders (83% ) think there’s an “availability gap” between how quickly they need systems to be recoverable and how soon that can be achieved. Meanwhile, 81% identify a “protection gap” between how much data they can afford to lose and how often data is protected. So, while most IT leaders are less than satisfied with levels of data protection , they are also battling ransomware attacks . In fact, most organisations questioned had suffered at least one attack in 2022, with many suffering multiple attempts to extort ransoms from them. Those are some of the findings of the Veeam Data protection trends report 2023 , which questioned 4,200 IT decision makers globally, including 349 in the UK and Ireland. The Veeam report gives a snapshot of data protection and backup, as well as the balance of physical and virtual servers, on-premise and in the cloud. The big picture background is that there is a near-even split between on-premise and cloud server locations, with 28% reporting use of physical servers in datacentres, 27% with virtual servers in datacentres, and 45% with cloud-hosted server instances. Meanwhile, containers have been used in production by 65% of respondents in 2022. That […]

In an era of shadow IT and business units having increased technical know-how, how IT is perceived matters. It says whether IT is invited to the table to discuss initiatives during the planning phase or afterwards to clean up the mess created and integrate what the business bought to the rest of the tech stack. Even more, it says whether IT, who often has the best understanding of "the art of the possible," is part of the digital transformation conversation . Given this, IT’s brand with the rest of the business and business leadership matters. So, what do CIOs think and how can they become brand builders? Establishing the Message for IT According to former CIO Joanna Young, “IT has a brand — known or unknown, deserved, or undeserved. IT leaders need to be thoughtful about their internal brand. Does it comport with the value they are or should be delivering?” Clearly, it is too easy for IT to be seen as separate from the real business. Or even worse as a utility. An effective IT organization demonstrates alignment for credibility and partnership. Everything starts, says Deb Gildersleeve, “with the rest of the business understanding that IT is in […]

Nick Cave has condemned a song designed and directed by ChatGPT. But new technology should be embraced, not feared Nick Cave performing at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre, 30 November 2022. The singer-songwriter described an AI-written song as ‘a replication, a kind of burlesque’. Earlier this week, a fan called Mark sent, for reasons not entirely clear, Nick Cave some lyrics written “in the style of Nick Cave” by the ChatGPT AI system. Suffice to say Cave was not pleased by the algorithmic imitation. “With all the love and respect in the world, this song is bullshit, a grotesque mockery of what it is to be human, and, well, I don’t much like it.” Fair enough: Why would he? But Cave’s response on his Red Hand Files blog raises issues relevant to all of us, as we contemplate what the AI revolution means to our own lives and careers. For Cave, ChatGPT could not write “a genuine song” but only “a replication, a kind of burlesque.” That’s because, he says, real songs arise from “the complex, internal human struggle of creation”: This is what we humble humans can offer, that AI can only mimic, the transcendent journey of the artist that […]

FTX’s CEO, John Jay Ray III, said Thursday he’s open to reviving the bankrupt exchange if the move provides a pathway to return money to the crypto trading venue’s customers and other creditors. "Everything is on the table," Ray told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Thursday . "There are stakeholders we’re working with who’ve identified what they see is a viable business." Following this interview, the crypto exchange’s token, FTT (FTT-USD), gained as much as 35%. FTT has lost 90% of its value since the end of October 2022. At its peak in September 2021, FTT traded north of $70 per token. The collapsed crypto exchange said Tuesday it has identified $5.5 billion of liquid assets, but also stated based on current estimates both the company’s international and U.S. based exchange still face a "substantial shortfall" from what the trading venues owe customers. A court document with the restructuring team’s most recent findings shows this $5.5 billion includes $1.7 billion of cash, $3.5 billion of crypto assets, and $0.3 billion of securities.
