It's undeniable that the world is increasingly digital. Over the past few years, we have witnessed significant developments in new and emerging technologies such as augmented reality, auto-driving, the metaverse, and many more, which has led to the rising reliance on cloud and digital infrastructures.

In Asia-Pacific, the appetite for digital is only growing thanks to increasing smartphone adoption, online business penetration, and rising government initiatives to digitize economies. For example, in 2021, the Australian government unveiled an AU$1.2 billion scheme to boost the country's digital future.[1] South Korea also has plans to invest KRW 9 trillion (around US$7.51 billion) this year to foster new tech industries as part of its digital New Deal program.[2] These government initiatives, just to name a few, further expedite businesses' pace of digitalization. As a result, many digital leaders are relying on global and regional connectivity, and hybrid multicloud solutions to meet the exponential demand for cloud, big data and IoT systems.
