Key Requirements for Successful AI Data Management

smart-scaling

Smart ​
Scaling

Annual data growth is 50%.

~ 90% of AI data is unstructured.

You need scale to handle volume…​
and technology to reduce volume

Do more with less

Doing More ​
with Less

70% of firms want to modernize IT. But budgets are growing by only 10%. The IT skills gap is growing much faster.

You need to process AI data faster…and automate processing itself

Faster Innovation

Faster Innovation and Results

89% of IT leaders say data silos slow down innovation

You need to integrate all stages of AI data lifecycle… and consolidate mixed data and protocols for faster results

Optimizing All Stages of the AI Data Journey

We’re used to seeing these stages for AI data, where parallel file systems are critical and data is largely unstructured. ​
