KORE Pulse | 4 min read For many organisations, infrastructure decisions are no longer driven purely by performance or scale. They are increasingly shaped by financial efficiency, predictability, and risk reduction. Traditional on-premises infrastructure demands high upfront investment, while hyperscale cloud platforms often introduce operating costs that are difficult to forecast
KORE Pulse | 4 min read Virtualisation remains the backbone of modern IT infrastructure, but selecting the right hypervisor is less about feature parity and more about operational context, workload requirements, and long-term strategy. Three platforms dominate most enterprise discussions: Proxmox VE, Hyper-V, and VMware vSphere. All three are mature and
KORE Pulse | 4–6 min read In an era defined by hyperscale cloud platforms, global availability zones, and software-defined infrastructure, data location is often treated as an abstract concern. Many organisations assume that region selection, encryption, and provider compliance programs are sufficient to address questions of control and risk. That
KORE Pulse | 4 min read Ransomware remains one of the most disruptive and costly cyber threats facing organisations today. What began as opportunistic malware has evolved into a mature criminal ecosystem, complete with affiliates, negotiation playbooks, and pressure tactics designed to maximise leverage. While no single control can eliminate ransomware
KORE Pulse | 4–5 min read Energy efficiency was once treated as a facilities issue. Today, it is a board-level concern. Rising energy costs, regulatory pressure, sustainability reporting, and infrastructure resilience have pushed energy management into the core of business strategy. ISO 50001, the international standard for energy management systems,
KORE Pulse | 6 min read Artificial intelligence is reshaping technology faster than most organisations can adapt. At the centre of that transformation sit three companies whose decisions will shape how AI is built, deployed, and consumed over the rest of the decade: NVIDIA, Google, and AMD. Each plays a distinct
KORE Pulse | 6 min read As artificial intelligence becomes embedded into every layer of business and society, the defining question is no longer who is building the best models. It is who controls the platforms, economics, and rules under which AI operates. By 2030, AI will be shaped by six
KORE Pulse | 4–5 min read Cloud is often described as a way to “reduce risk,” but that statement is too broad to be genuinely useful. Risk is not a single variable, and cloud is not a single model. The real question for businesses is not whether cloud reduces risk,
KORE Pulse | 4 min read Cloud adoption is often justified on the basis of risk reduction, improved resilience, built-in redundancy, and managed services all suggest a safer operating model than traditional infrastructure. In practice, the answer is more nuanced. Cloud does reduce certain categories of business risk significantly, but it
KORE Pulse | 4 min read Political uncertainty has become a defining feature of the global business environment. Trade agreements shift, regulations evolve, borders tighten or loosen, and governments reassess economic priorities with increasing frequency. For organisations operating across regions, this uncertainty directly influences where they trade, invest, and store their
KORE Pulse | 4–6 min read As infrastructure becomes increasingly software-defined, the discussion around virtualised versus dedicated (bare-metal) systems continues to surface in architecture reviews, risk assessments, and board-level conversations. Yet the question is no longer which model is inherently “better.” It is which model is appropriate for a specific
KORE Pulse | 4–6 min read In an era defined by cloud computing, global platforms, and software-defined infrastructure, data residency and data sovereignty are often dismissed as legacy concerns. Many assume that encryption, zero-trust architectures, and hyperscale cloud providers have made physical location irrelevant. That assumption is only partially true.
KORE Pulse | 4–5 min read In today’s digital economy, any organisation that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data operates under the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Yet PCI DSS scanning is often treated as an audit obligation rather than what it truly
KORE Pulse | 5–6 min read In the modern enterprise data centre, storage is no longer a background component. It is the foundation for performance, resilience, and operational agility. As virtual machines, containers, analytics platforms, and AI pipelines compete for bandwidth and uptime, traditional SAN and NAS architectures increasingly struggle
KORE Pulse | 4–5 min read Cloud computing has fundamentally changed how organisations build, deploy, and scale technology. Public cloud platforms have accelerated innovation through on-demand capacity and global reach, making them a natural starting point for many businesses. However, an increasing number of organisations are now deliberately choosing Private
