A latest world survey by Recon Analytics, commissioned by Seagate Know-how, paints an fascinating image of the way forward for AI and information storage.
Enterprise leaders from 15 industries in 10 nations are bracing for an explosion of information as AI adoption grows, with many anticipating cloud-based storage forming the centre of information repositories sooner or later.
Why cloud storage? It’s cost-effective, particularly with onerous drives providing scalability at aggressive terabyte-per-dollar efficiencies. IDC estimates that 89% of information saved by main cloud service suppliers is saved on onerous drives.
Based on the survey, nearly two-thirds (61%) of corporations utilizing cloud as their main storage technique anticipate their cloud storage must greater than double within the subsequent three years. Singapore companies, whereas barely extra conservative, additionally mission important development, with 53% anticipating related storage expansions.
Roger Entner, founder and lead analyst of Recon Analytics, summed it up nicely: “The survey outcomes typically level to a coming surge in demand for information storage, with onerous drives rising because the clear winner. When you think about that the enterprise leaders we surveyed intend to retailer extra of this AI-driven information within the cloud, it seems that cloud companies are well-positioned to trip a second development wave.”
Some key takeaways
- AI adoption is widespread however varies by area – 62% of Singapore companies say they use AI immediately, in comparison with 72% globally.
- Amongst cloud storage customers, 53% in Singapore predict a 100%+ development in storage wants over the subsequent three years, barely trailing the worldwide common of 61%.
- Globally, storage is the second most essential part for AI infrastructure, coming in simply behind safety. The total rating consists of: Safety, storage, information administration, community capability, compute, laws, LLM viability, and power.
- Retaining information for longer is seen as essential for higher AI outcomes – 85% of Singapore companies and 90% globally agree.
- Reliable AI is a precedence, with 88% of AI customers recognising the necessity to retailer extra information for prolonged intervals to attain it.
The findings spotlight a pattern: organisations are holding onto their information for longer to make sure it’s dependable sufficient for coaching AI fashions. Correct outcomes and higher outcomes rely on this, and it’s fueling the necessity for modern storage options.
BS Teh, Seagate’s chief industrial officer, weighed in: “Reliable AI is de facto the important thing to enabling mainstream adoption of AI. With the overwhelming majority of survey respondents saying they should retailer information for longer intervals of time to enhance high quality outcomes of AI, we’re centered on [the] actual density innovation wanted to extend storage capability for every platter in our HAMR-based onerous drives. We’ve a transparent pathway to greater than double per-platter storage capability over the subsequent few years.”
As AI continues to evolve, one factor is obvious: companies will want smarter, extra environment friendly methods to retailer the large quantities of information it brings.
