In the latest episode of the “In Conversation With” podcast, Asanti’s Emma Lauchlan speaks with Chris Talliss, Director of Cloud, Data and Apps at Wavenet, to unpack the evolving challenges and decisions surrounding public cloud strategy.

Drawing on Asanti’s recent research, which found that 52 percent of UK organizations plan to reduce their reliance on US-based cloud providers, Chris discusses the two major drivers of this trend: data sovereignty and data residency.

 In this insightful episode, Chris shares:

• Why hybrid and private cloud strategies are growing in importance
• How the Cloud Act and global politics are prompting a rethink of cloud-first strategies
• The danger of falling into “modern legacy” through well-intentioned cloud migrations
• How AI is reshaping infrastructure needs and driving demand for colocation
• Why understanding your workloads, not just your infrastructure, is critical.

Whether you're re-evaluating your current architecture or exploring how to scale AI workloads securely and cost-effectively, this episode offers valuable guidance and perspective.

This is a must-listen for any IT leader navigating cloud transformation.
