If you’ve ever packed for a long vacation, you know that every inch of your suitcase counts. You roll, fold and even vacuum seal your clothes to fit as much as possible into your luggage so you can be prepared for weather, excursions and fancy dinners during your journey.
Businesses are preparing to embark on their own AI journeys, seeking unprecedented innovation and transformation to stand out in their industry. Just as savvy travelers optimize their packing to make room for their essentials, companies must also manage their critical data while dealing with an astonishing 21% annual growth¹ of that data. Simultaneously, they must manage surging energy expenses, projected to reach 200% by 2030². The need for more efficient, sustainable and smarter data management technology is more important than ever to reduce costs and achieve long-term savings in the face of these challenges.
