In the sovereign AI era, how cloud strategy should change
As data sovereignty and regulation tighten, public cloud-centric strategies are running into constraints, with demand rising for dedicated and isolated cloud environments, including air-gapped models that block external connectivity. The debate is shifting from where infrastructure sits to how it is controlled and connected. Options range from dedicated private clouds with permitted external management links to fully isolated clouds. Local operator-led models also gain traction where policies favour localisation.

Hackers recruit backup specialists, time for backup-centred security strategy
Companies specialising in backup solutions are calling for a shift toward backup-centred ransomware defence as attacks evolve. Cohesity, which acquired Veritas, is expanding cyber resilience offerings and says multi-layered backups, including offline and immutable storage, are now essential. The company released survey findings from IT and security leaders, including about 200 South Korean firms, showing cyberattacks affecting forecasts, share prices, budgets and legal exposure, and highlighting management pressure on IT staff in South Korea.

E-bike power race wanes as quiet motors become a survival requirement
Riders who have spent time on electric bicycles quickly learn that high output alone does not define the experience, with silence playing a key role. Bafang, one of the world’s largest e-bike motor makers, has long focused on reducing noise. It separates electromagnetic and mechanical sources, using simulations, materials, structural rigidity, gear design, balancing and low-noise bearings. Bafang also runs an acoustic lab and remote testing to analyse frequency effects under varied conditions.
