AI And The Data Center: Challenges And Investment Strategies
InformationWeek, Monday, May 15,2023
AI applications must be supported by massive compute power, which means larger and more plentiful data centers.
The uptick in AI usage is causing rapid growth in the data center market to accommodate the explosion of data these technologies are creating. Adding AI to the already massive pool of available technology, including internet of things (IoT) devices, will generate even more customer data, leading to an exponential increase in data volumes.
The bottom line is that all this data needs to reside somewhere, and organizations will turn to data centers.
Kevin Shtofman, head of innovation at Cherre, explains AI will create increased demand for computing power, requiring investment in AI-specific hardware, adoption of new data center designs, and exploration of emerging technologies such as edge computing.
