Catalyst Cloud

Our first event in a long time, "Look to New Zealand: The State of Aotearoa's Cloud in 2024" was so much fun you might just see us doing more events in the coming months... Great discussions, fantastic presentations and awesome presenters - it had it all! We discussed how federated IT is the future we can already live in, what's the secret to over 10 years of sovereign, hyperscale cloud in New Zealand, and we saw how some of Aotearoa's innovators are taking ideas to reality in the AI and Data Science spaces. So, why should we "look to New Zealand"? Because together we can build a strong, sovereign and world-leading digital future!

We wish to extend our congratulations to SiteHost, as they play a valuable part of the rising tide in providing real sovereign cloud at a scale, cost and capability for the Aotearoa New Zealand market. This article nails some of the reasons we should support local providers. "It’s time for New Zealand to have a serious conversation about the role overseas-owned cloud providers ought to play in our digital economy. But not everyone wants to tell the whole story." https://lnkd.in/gWEEDnPp

This time last week ourselves and Veracity Labs were starting to wind down conversations (and what great conversations they were!) at our National Data Infrastructure Symposium! As busy as the room was, we know that not everyone was able to make the event, so we've recorded and uploaded the great presentations by Markus Luczak-Roesch, Doug Dixon, Kevin Shedlock & George Sadlier. Check them out here: https://lnkd.in/dp77gAwB #NationalDataInfrastructure #NZData

Join us September 3rd in Wellington for the National Data Infrastructure Symposium! Following the publication of Veracity Spearhead Project's National Data Infrastructure blueprint we will be hosting a symposium to promote engagement and identify next steps, both further research and sector-specific implementation plans.

"The tools and support you need to innovate, secure your data, and lead the global market are already in New Zealand and right at your fingertips" The final part of our "Look to New Zealand - the State of Aotearoa's Cloud in 2024" series focuses on how the concepts of parts 1 and 2 apply to New Zealand businesses and help them change the world! Who better to speak on this than our friends at Dragonfly Data Science and Tohu Media?! Dragonfly Data Science's Finlay Thompson and Henry Macdonald discussed how they created one of New Zealand's most innovating data science companies, the techniques used to empower developers and the AI models which they produce using Catalyst Cloud's GPU! Tohu Media's Kandy W. introduced how Data and Technological Sovereignty both protects and drives innovation for Kiwi businesses. If it sounds like a packed piece, it's because it is!

"By taking a decentralised approach, local providers like our team at Catalyst Cloud can work more closely with their customers to develop solutions that are tailored to the local context. Ultimately, this can solve problems more effectively and open new opportunities for New Zealand businesses." Paul Seiler's turn to share his views in part two of our "Look to New Zealand - the State of Aotearoa's Cloud in 2024" writeups! Paul talks about what's needed to keep bringing innovation into New Zealand and what's helped Catalyst Cloud remain the longest running (over 10 years strong!) sovereign, hyperscale, carbon-zero public cloud in New Zealand.
