Companies that are not taking advantage of AI are likely to fall behind the competition. AI as a core business principle is not a new concept, however, and businesses must ensure they leverage AI’s full potential as more advancements enter the market. AI-powered businesses use tech to drive innovation, maintain quality control, and monitor employee productivity. Equally, AI can be a great tool to improve cybersecurity and consumer personalization.
Although businesses are aware that AI is the future, integrating within existing infrastructure is a common concern for business decision-makers, according to an HPE survey. Equally, navigating skill and knowledge gaps during deployment and justifying costs are also hurdles getting in the way of AI success. Finding a way to overcome these challenges is essential for businesses looking to harness new AI technology.
Businesses need a solution optimized for AI and scalable so it can adapt to heavy AI workloads -- but is also secure and easy to manage. This solution also must proactively respond to fluctuating data demands and infrastructure maintenance needs.
The Evolution of AI in the Data Center
As the pace of innovation and AI advancement continues, data centers must keep up with this rate of innovation and AI evolution. AI now not only supports operations but drives strategic business decisions by leveraging analytics to provide insights. Integrating AI across the enterprise e creates operational efficiencies that puts businesses ahead of their competitors and offers substantial productivity gains. These efficiencies include time savings, accelerated ideation and new insights to automate and simplify workflow and processes.
As with any technological advancement, it is critical to look past potential benefits and be aware of potential challenges. Complete transparency is vital, and when it comes to AI operating in the business there are factors to consider. It is important to assess and plan carefully. Consider your long-term game plan and offer training and development for your employees. Understanding potential challenges is key: Traditional data centers designed for CPU-intensive tasks face specific obstacles -- for example, GPUs require more physical space and higher power for operation and cooling. Planning for these challenges and other likely hurdles sets your business up for success.
The benefits of AI for any enterprise are vast and growing exponentially. From the ability to build in house AI ecosystem with pre-trained models, tool, frameworks, data pipelines to power new AI applications which drive innovation and speed time to value. By leveraging AI, data centers can maintain control of their data and ensure more predictable performance for their enterprise. This puts the business and AI practitioners in the driving seat for navigating their AI journey while giving the business a competitive edge.
