Hello Data Centre Magazine readers .
First off , I ’ m delighted to have joined the Data Centre team as Editor . It ’ s an immense pleasure to be working on such a well-connected , well-respected industry publication .
At DC HQ , we ’ re currently celebrating hitting 18,000 followers on our LinkedIn – in less than 2 years , we reckon that ’ s pretty good going !
In this issue , we explore the rise of 5G and the IoT , homing in on the ways that this will shape data centre services over the next few years .
Naturally , ensuring consistent cybersecurity standards will be a topic of paramount importance , as the nature of cyberattacks – and , indeed , the nature of the data itself – evolve .
We also discuss the role that the hybrid cloud , edge data centres , micro data centres and IoT security will have in bringing about the envisioned smart cities of the future .
Thankfully , the industry ’ s no stranger to rapid growth .
