We are Asanti Data Centres, a UK colocation provider aiming to disrupt the status quo in the market. Cutting through the noise and focusing on what really matters, we will be joined by some of the UK’s greatest minds and industry experts as we unpack a whole range of challenges we see happening around us.
In this latest episode of In Conversation With, Asanti’s Emma Lauchlan speaks with data centre and infrastructure specialist, Steve Wright, about what hybrid IT really looks like today – and why “cloud‑first” thinking is being replaced by a more cloud‑appropriate approach. They explore how many organisations have slipped into hybrid by accident through cloud sprawl, and why rising OpEx costs, data sovereignty pressures and reliance on a handful of hyperscalers are forcing leaders to take stock.
Steve shares practical advice on building a multi‑year roadmap rather than chasing a big‑bang migration, using observability to map dependencies and place workloads in the right mix of on‑premises, colocation and public cloud. Emma and Steve also examine the widening skills and security gaps, the emergence of “shadow AI”, and how IT teams can start small with low‑risk workloads while keeping strong governance, visibility and the ability to roll back if changes do not deliver.
