Solving AI's Data Gravity Takes An Alternative To Shuttling Data Between Locations: Kamiwaza
Techstrong.ai, Thursday, February 13th, 2025
Enterprises dabbling in artificial intelligence (AI)have run back into a problem that has survived in IT through three decades - data gravity.
Based on the Newtonian principle of gravity that states that more mass an object has, more powerfully it can pull other objects towards it, data gravity is the tendency of a large dataset to attract those of its kind towards it.
It is the reason why moving data between disparate platforms has become such a painful and exorbitant chore. Moving large chunks of data for processing is fraught with latency and throughput challenges, and is in fact, according to many experts, counterintuitive considering that movement takes time and AI applications need access to data in near real-time.
