A study by Digital Realty shows that companies in Europe need to rethink their data strategies to realize the full potential of their AI investments. Bottlenecks in storage capacity and strategically positioned IT infrastructure appear to be the biggest obstacles.
Digital Realty surveyed more than 2,000 IT leaders in Europe about their AI strategies. Although 85 percent of companies are implementing AI, only 27 percent believe its use is transformational. An important reason for this is the lack of digital infrastructure. More than half (57%) of organizations struggle with insufficient storage capacity, while a similar percentage say their IT infrastructure needs to be positioned more strategically for effective AI implementation. This problem is exacerbated by data gravity, a phenomenon in which data accumulates and becomes difficult to move.
The Belgian figures are in line with the European results. 66 percent of Belgian companies say they have insufficient storage capacity and 57 percent say their infrastructure is not optimally set up. In addition, 50 percent of companies lack sufficient investments in data systems and analysis tools. In addition, there is a lack of internal talent (49%) and a clear mandate from management (46%).
According to David Louis, managing director of Digital Realty Belgium, business leaders need to conduct a thorough analysis of the benefits that AI can provide. Many companies currently lack the necessary infrastructure, knowledge or support to successfully use AI.
In addition to storage and infrastructure, data location is a key element for successful AI strategies. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents emphasize the importance of data location in addressing challenges such as storage and processing. Additionally, 53% say they do not have sufficient computing power to effectively implement and scale AI. All of this shows that companies need to rethink their data strategies to achieve greater returns from their AI investments.
