How to address external infrastructure failures and outages linked to connectivity issues

Richard Petrie, CTO at LINX, discusses the recent Uptime Institute’s Annual Outages Analysis Report which finds that networking and connectivity continue to sit at the top of the most common causes of IT outages, reinforcing the importance of resilience in this area. As organisations face growing pressure from network congestion, external threats and increasing reliance on third-party providers, resilience across both network and data centre infrastructure is becoming critical. Richard explains that the backbone of a strong redundancy strategy is a secondary fabric that allows data to be rerouted during periods of disruption or risk, helping organisations remain operational even when the primary network is compromised.

Data centre gas connections enquiries surge

James Earl, CEO of Future Energy Networks (FEN), outlines how gas networks received well over 100 connection enquiries from data centre developers in 2024 and 2025. Published by FEN – the representative body for the UK gas networks – the figures demonstrate how enquiries have risen exponentially, with around three times as many submitted in 2025 compared to 2024. Thiss dramatic increase in the number of data centre enquiries to gas networks reflects the long delays developers are encountering in accessing the electricity grid. James explains that, to get ahead in the global AI race, bolster economic growth and secure future investment, the UK, and the data centre sector specifically, must harness the immense potential of both gas and electricity systems.
