However, even as cloud computing forms a foundation upon which enterprises build operating models and AI-driven services, they have to confront cybersecurity risks as well as data residency and sovereignty regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p>These strategic imperatives for regulatory readiness, AI adoption initiatives and long-term business viability have led CIOs to reevaluate budgets and shift their all-in cloud approach toward hybrid models. In helping enterprises to make this shift, Australia-based Interactive is also bridging the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern environments.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">\n  <strong>Interactive&#8217;s cloud-smart focus<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Specifically, Interactive&#8217;s focus on IT\/OT convergence and intelligent orchestration is enabling businesses to move away from a cloud-first strategy to a hybrid approach. Instead of prioritizing cloud solutions for all new applications, workloads, and IT investments, they balance performance, security, compliance and cost to ensure the best IT infrastructure mix.<\/p>\n<p>Adopting a tailored, business-driven approach gives organizations greater control over their IT environments. &#8220;The shift isn&#8217;t about deserting public cloud; it is about making smarter, more intentional cloud decisions,&#8221; said David Leen, head of product for cloud at Interactive. &#8220;The cloud is no longer just a technology shift. It&#8217;s a business strategy. Staying ahead requires a proactive approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This approach entails aligning cloud strategies with business goals. It&#8217;s about assessing how cloud investments support long-term vision for IT infrastructure. Enterprises must implement cloud governance and compliance frameworks that ensure data security, compliance and accountability across public, private or hybrid clouds. To achieve this, IT teams must maintain control without adding complexity by using AI-driven tools to optimize&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2026\/04\/15\/cloudsmart_strategy_helps_interactive\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud-smart strategy helps Interactive meet GenAI demands \u2022 The Register https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2026\/04\/15\/cloudsmart_strategy_helps_interactive\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-14 21:00:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":233980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2023\/11\/03\/leonardo_ai_clouds_raining_data.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,24,28],"class_list":["post-233979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-cybersecurity","tag-data-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233979"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233979"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233981,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233979\/revisions\/233981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
