Blockchain Technology World

BTW logo date 2021

Blockchain Technology World is a new major event dedicated to fast-forwarding the adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) across businesses of all sizes and in all industries – the core focus of Blockchain Technology World is the ‘real-world’ application and integration of the technology. The show also hosts industry content dedicated to the rise of blockchain powered businesses, including systems integrators, tech giants and ICOs, but there will not be a pitch-battle in sight!

Blockchain Technology World is part of the UK’s biggest technology show, with thousands of technology buyers and influencers attending each year, it is in the unique position of uniting a technical, business, ecosystem and investor audience. Its theatres of content will host international blockchain and DLT experts, whilst a large scale exhibition will showcase the world’s leading players in the space. Blockchain Technology World will further the adoption of this game changing technology and help early technology providers in the space win business and investment from C-level, LOB application owners, technology and investment buyers and influencers.

Make sure you join us again on 24th - 25th March 2021!

Technology’s role in improving mental health

29-Jul-2020

The topic of mental health is thankfully less taboo than it was a decade ago. In the last few years, we've seen a surge of campaigns aimed at driving awareness of mental health issues and supporting those in need. But hand on heart, how often did you think ‘nice PR stunt’ and question how many times the topic was pushed down to the ‘nice to have’ list rather than sit among priorities?

Covid-19 has highlighted the importance of mental health. Almost half of Brits have reported high anxiety since lockdown, and nearly 5,000 people have contacted The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) with workplace safety concerns.

Gaia-X: Breathing Life into European Cloud Independence

With around 90% of companies now ‘in the cloud’, the industry has become a driving force behind global technology infrastructure and service delivery. While this has offered major benefits to the entire European economy, the market dominance of US-based hyperscale cloud providers has raised concerns among EU leaders.

Between them, AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud account for over 53% of worldwide cloud infrastructure spend, according to Canalys. European cloud hosting providers, in contrast, lag significantly behind, even in their domestic markets. As Synergy Research Groups puts it, “Behind the top two the battle is being played out between Google, IBM, other smaller global cloud providers and some major local telcos and IT service providers.”

Four ways to keep cloud costs under control

Cloud is the ideal solution for today’s unpredictable business environment. From supporting remote working to enabling organisations to get new applications to market quickly, it’s helped many survive and even thrive in recent months.

However, while the headline costs of cloud are appealing, there are hidden traps which have led to problems and overspend for many organisations. Once you have got rid of your in-house infrastructure, you have to rely on what the cloud provider offers. Portability between providers is not yet proven, and it is not in a provider’s interests to make it easy! Based on our experience, we’ve identified four areas to review to ensure you control your cloud services, rather than letting them control you.

Microsoft to ditch diesel backup power by 2030 to meet carbon negative commitment

Microsoft has detailed how it plans to meet its ambitious goal of becoming carbon negative by 2030.

The pledge, made by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, President Brad Smith, and Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood in January, is the most sweeping carbon commitment made by any company.

At the time, Microsoft said it was working on an initiative to reducing its carbon, water, waste footprints and promote biodiversity, but offered few details on what this initiative would entail.

Google Cloud launches Confidential VMs to woo regulated industries to the cloud

Google Cloud is launching a new suite of security-focused products to persuade cloud-shy organisations to migrate sensitive data to the cloud.

Heavily regulated industries such as financial, insurance, or pharmaceutical firms have been reluctant to go all-in on cloud due to strict security and compliance requirements about how sensitive data is stored.
