Global business value derived from AI is projected to total $1.2 trillion in 2018. This means an increase of 70 percent from 2017, according to Gartner. Furthermore, IDC predicts that 75 percent of commercial enterprise applications will use AI by 2021.
However, even though businesses plan to use AI to create new and innovative business opportunities fueled by diverse, distributed, and dynamic data, they often find that their most valuable data is trapped in silos, hampered by complexity and too costly to harness for resource-intensive AI applications.
“The speed and volume of data now generated and managed across IoT devices and sensors, on-premises data centers, and in hybrid cloud environments, is increasing. Therefore, having a Data Fabric that spans edge, core, and cloud is essential to AI success,” said Joel Reich, NetApp.
Reich added, “Furthermore, with today’s new data services and solutions, integrated through the NetApp Data Fabric, organizations can accelerate data pipelines across an entire enterprise to train deep learning models and power AI applications with the simplicity, choice, and scale necessary to achieve real impact.”
