10 Sep 2024
Radisson Blu - Mount Kenya Ballroom, Floor 1
Datacloud Africa
Building and operating in the era of cloud computing is a constantly changing task. Ramping up of hyperscale presence and expansion of colocation facilities around the continent mean there are new opportunities for partnership to meet increased consumer demands, but the race is on to deliver. Big questions remain around the reality of capacity requirements, which companies will be building at scale, and how. This panel will discuss the following:
- What does cloud development look like in 2024; what do the panel expect to see in 2025?
- Will there be a shift to more wholesale-oriented markets?
- How will edge node and unified edge zone expansion play out?
- Who is investing in cloud? Will funding appetite change in the next 12-18 months?
