Cohesity has analyzed the issues faced by the exponential growth of data worldwide, resulting from cheaper storage, cloud growth, and AI. Data center energy and efficiency are not keeping pace.
While AI is data and power-hungry, alongside machine learning, it can help defuse one of the most complex problems, “unknown” data. Predefined filters immediately fish compliance-relevant data such as credit cards or other personal details out of the data pool and mark them. Once loose on the data, the AI develops a company-related language, a company dialect. And the longer it works and the more company data it examines, the more accurate its results become. Companies will be enabled to automatically identify obsolete, orphaned, and redundant data that could be deleted immediately.
