ello and welcome to the latest edition of

Intelligent Data Centres.

This month’ s cover story, which can be found on page 49, features Marga Reuver, CEO, of Infrastructure-as-a-Service( IaaS) provider Espresso Gridpoint( EGP).

When EGP needed to ensure scalability, reliability and performance for customers’ AI-powered solutions, it chose the Pure Storage platform.

“ We are a local private cloud vendor competing with the biggest names in the cloud business,” explains Reuver.“ We provide an environment with flexible building blocks that customers can rely on to build and grow their businesses.

“ The start-ups we have now in our incubator programme are software companies who need a lot of data. We are using Pure Storage and for us it’ s a great working partnership. AI- Infrasolutions, our customer, is using an AI platform to get the maximum out of geodata.”

In this month’ s Editors Question, we ask three industry experts how businesses can balance scalability and security when managing large volumes of data in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

We hear from Iwona Rajca, Senior Solution Engineer EMEA at Protegrity; Andrew McMillan, Partner and corporate lawyer at

RPC; and Jean-Philippe Avelange, Chief Information Officer, Expereo.

This month’ s Deep Dive features Laura Ortman, CEO of Cologix.

When asked about her management philosophy she said: The most common phrase across emails, chat, and text at Cologix is‘ TWW’ – Together We Win. I believe in fostering an environment where each person brings their unique talents and perspectives to the job while feeling empowered and accountable for driving success. We are stronger together.” You can read the full article by turning to p68.
