At issue is, as demand and dependency increase, dependency begins to look increasingly unsustainable. Currently only 5 per cent of worldwide data centres have been modernised, meaning 20-year-old legacy architecture is being charged with ensuring our transition into a data dependent world. But in a world that quadruples the data created every five years, how do we ensure the value increases. More and more data, from more and more devices, stored in more and more locations increase physical and digital risks to the integrity of the data and the entire connected system. This of course does nothing to reduce our growing dependency, but it does help mitigate the risks and challenges associated with the deluge of data and our dependency on it.
