The Era of Hybrid Cloud Storage: Rise of the AI Data Strategy

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be stirring up the most buzz in the storage industry, but that hasn’t stopped enterprises for looking for practical applications of AI toolsets. In fact, we’ve found that the majority of organizations want to leverage the latest innovations in the market to fuel a comprehensive AI data strategy – one that will help them create efficiencies in their data management processes through heightened visibility into their datasets.

This sentiment rings true on a global scale. In Nasuni’s first annual report, “The Era of Hybrid Cloud Storage: Research into the impact of digital transformation, AI, and security on storage strategies,” we spoke to more than a thousand IT decision makers across the US and EMEA about their plans for AI. Here are a few highlights we discovered:

60% of organizations are hoping that AI will help them deploy advanced data management and achieve greater visibility into their organization. This supports why, additionally, nearly half of all respondents identified AI initiatives as the second key cloud investment area over the next 18 months (second only to cybersecurity concerns). These decisions, however, are not just being made at the executive level. About 44% of companies identified their IT departments as the primary decision-making authority on AI initiatives within their business.
