Beyond backup: what does it take to recover? | Cyber recovery
Having backups doesn't necessarily mean an organisation can recover from a major cyber incident.
In Beyond backup: what does it take to recover?, experts from Datacom and Dell Technologies explore what genuine cyber recovery readiness looks like, including restoring trusted data, critical business dependencies, recovery infrastructure and capacity, isolation and immutability, clean recovery environments, and testing recovery plans before an incident occurs.
Hosted by Daniel Bowbyes, Associate Director – Strategy, Datacom Australia & New Zealand, with Adam Kirkpatrick, Director of Security, Networks, Automation, AI and Project Services, Datacom Australia & New Zealand; Mac Lewis, Data Centres, Datacom; and Dave Williams, Senior Cyber Resilience Systems Engineer, Dell Technologies.

Datacom | ITNews Asia's Thought Leaders Podcast
In this episode of iTnews Asia’s Thought Leaders Podcast, Datacom’s Director of Data Centres, Matt Neil, shares how the company is preparing for the AI era with a focus on sovereignty, sustainability, and scale.
As AI accelerates the evolution of data centre design and operations, Neil explains how Datacom is expanding its footprint across Australia and New Zealand to meet rising demand for cloud services, digital transformation, and hyperscale deployments. He discusses how reliable power, efficiency, and resilience underpin Datacom’s approach to future-ready infrastructure — from liquid cooling and hybrid cloud support to ISO-certified security and 100% SLA availability.
Neil also explores the growing importance of data sovereignty, as organisations seek greater control and locality for their data amid increasing geopolitical and regulatory pressures. With long-term power pricing, low PUE metrics, and a commitment to renewable energy, Datacom is balancing AI’s escalating energy needs with sustainable innovation.
Tune in to hear how Datacom is helping customers navigate the complex intersection of AI growth, sustainability goals, and regional resilience — and why the Asia-Pacific is poised to lead the next wave of intelligent, sovereign data infrastructure.
