KeyConsiderations
Why AI?
A Digitized World Requires Data – and the Infrastructure to Handle It
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how consumers and enterprises work, learn, and play. Winning organizations will be those that use AI – as well as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) – to:
Data is core for AI/ML/DL use cases, and unstructured data is driving data growth in AI initiatives:
Handling ever-growing data sets is critical to accelerate AI initiatives. What’s needed is an AI infrastructure solution that balances compute and storage, memory, and networking capabilities.
Cost is the main reason for moving accelerated workloads from the cloud to on-premise, followed by data security and lack of performancein the cloud across all accelerator technologies.
Traditional datacenter architecture can’t run AI workloads e�iciently. Enter acceleration technologies for AI. An IDC survey on customer perceptions of acceleration technologies indicates:
Many companies are jumping in with both feet:
But few are in full production:

IDC GuidanceThe ideal AI infrastructure is an optimal combination of compute and storage. Other key considerationsfor companies planning to jump into AI include:
Ease of use in terms of deployment, management, and scale
Partnerships that include ecosystem of software and frameworks
Experience as technology supplier
Support from supplier or integrator for compute, storage, and networking
Flexibility to support various requirements across di�erent AI projects
Portfolio benefits of supporting integrated products for AI from a single technology supplier
