Are you equipped for what’s next?

Cloud, on-premises or hybrid? As digital acceleration continues and compliance requirements grow stricter, choosing the right infrastructure model has become a strategic priority. In this first episode of Data Center Dialogues, we explore hybrid cloud strategy with Tiziano Durante (Cloud Region Lead at Microsoft) and Koen Van Loo (CIO & CDO at Group S).

While hybrid offers a pragmatic bridge between legacy and cloud-native systems, one trend is becoming clear: traditional on-premise data centers will gradually give way to professional, scalable and compliant infrastructure. Or as Tiziano puts it: “The server under the desk is no longer an option. So how can we work together to build the best fit for the company and stay in the fast lane, without making rushed decisions?”

We also dive into lessons learned from past challenges, the growing importance of data sovereignty, and key concepts such as latency and residency.

Tune in for a dynamic and forward-looking discussion on infrastructure decisions. Enjoy the listen!
