The Importance of Infrastructural Investment

AI's power lies in its ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data, which means a strong foundation is crucial. Scalable, high-density data centers are essential for businesses to handle complex AI tasks efficiently and achieve their strategic business goals. The infrastructure is in place, and it’s now up to businesses to (re) shape their own IT landscape.

Companies that can adapt and scale their systems and organizations as AI technologies evolve gain a competitive advantage. They transform innovation rather than letting it bypass them

"Colin McLean, CRO at Digital Realty, cautions that AI needs to be a cross-functional effort involving business leaders and domain experts. Delegating AI initiatives solely to a company’s IT departments is short-sighted and one-dimensional and will, in most cases, not lead to the sustainable growth IT leaders are looking for."

The Power of Strategic Partnerships

It’s said that two heads are better than one, and the same is true for businesses unlocking the full potential of AI. Working with strong industry leaders is about creating environments where AI can grow and turn data into useful information. It boils down to having the right partners in the right places. Bringing in the right partners at the right time is essential for businesses to remain competitive and develop their offerings.

Partnering with organizations that provide cutting-edge technology, such as NVIDIA’s GPUs or HPE’s data solutions, ensures that businesses have access to the necessary tools. Explore our Partnerships.

AI-ready data centers are the next step because they are designed to meet the needs of advanced AI applications. They offer more power, more space for floor loading, better networking capabilities, and flexible, scalable designs. Using the right IT system means businesses ensures that their AI applications work well and efficiently – now and in the future.

Success of Advanced Software Relies on a Clear Data Strategy

As AI continues to evolve, advanced software solutions, such as large language models, LLMs, are becoming essential. How do companies ensure that their AI investments are translated into tangible value rather than becoming expensive experiments?

Using large language models to organize data helps organizations turn vast amounts of data into useful knowledge, improving operations and making strategic decisions. However, the effectiveness of AI hinges on clear outcome goals.

Companies must adopt an outcome-driven approach and define what they aim to achieve with AI, aligning it with their broader business strategies. A few examples include automating processes, enhancing customer experiences, or optimizing resource allocation.

Next, integrating AI into existing business systems requires careful planning to ensure smooth operation and compliance with industry regulations. Regulatory compliance isn’t just a checkbox exercise. As more data is processed and analyzed, organizations must be vigilant about data security and ethical considerations, especially as AI begins to influence more significant aspects of business operations.

AI frontrunners

Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or are an experienced professional, the potential impact of AI is immense. An impressive example of this is the advancement of Gefion, one of the world’s most powerful AI supercomputers. Collaborating with the Novo Nordisk Foundation, EIFO, and NVIDIA, Digital Realty is hosting the supercomputer in one of our data centers in Denmark. This project highlights the increasing demand for energy- and data-efficient solutions.
