Data on the move: From ‘cloud only’ to ‘cloud smart’

AI lives on data. But to maximize its potential, where should the data itself live? 

There’s no single answer. The trend is toward a “three-way split,” with enterprises keeping some AI workloads in the public cloud while shifting others to local data centers and devices. That’s according to a recent study from Bob O’Donnell, president and chief analyst at TECHnalysis Research.  

A growing number of organizations are recognizing that data is no longer a burden to store, but a long-term asset with strategic value. That shift is prompting many to rethink where it should live and how best to access it.

Bob joins Seagate Vice President Trent Wilson to discuss why and how CIOs are adopting this ‘cloud smart’ or hybrid strategy.
