Some IT workers predict the need for an entire infrastructure overhaul
New research from Pure Storage has revealed yet another obstacle standing between businesses and their deployment of AI tools - power consumption.
According to the research of 500 IT buyers across the US, UK, and Europe, nearly half (47%) have had to double (or more) their computing power since adopting AI, in turn having a knock-on effect on their energy usage.
Of those that have already started using artificial intelligence, three-quarters (73%) weren't completely prepared for the new energy requirements they'd have to meet.
