August 20198 As data centers around the world cope with a deluge of data, the demand for faster and more efficient compute is paramount. According to IDC, world-wide data is well on its way to growing from 33 zettabytes in 2018 to 175 zettabytes by 2025, while nearly 30% of the world's data requires real-time processing. Amongst those embracing the rapid pace of digital adoption in the Asia Pacific region, which is one of the fastest growing markets and data-consumers in a `Connected Everything' world.With the copious amount of data being generated and collected by sensors, IOT-type (Internet of Things) appliances, edge-devices, connected transportation and more, data is the new wave of how research is done and how a business stays competitive. Over the last two years, 90 percent of the data in the world was generated either by automated systems or by smart devices connected through social media. Domo's Data Never Sleeps 5.0 report on how much data is generated every minute, might help one to get a perspective into a slice of the big-data pie. Beyond an understanding of how much data is being generated daily, equally as profound, is how this data is shaping today's world. Businesses are capitalizing on it, research is making breakthroughs with it, and artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to transform the world. According to Deloitte (2019 Global Human Capital Trends) 25% of businesses surveyed have already implemented cognitive technologies such as AI or machine learning, either as pilot projects or long-term strategies. McKinsey & Company also predict that by 2030, 70% of businesses will be using AI. While embracing what's beyond the information age, we are moving towards the digital transformation era where science, business, and society are driven by real-time data.Forbes predicts that the global ML industry will be worth almost $9 billion in the latter part of 2022.
