Artificial Intelligence

  • Recent technological shifts, including the widespread adoption of AI and shifts in the cost of licensing for hypervisor technology, are forcing IT decision-makers to reevaluate their preconceptions in hybrid cloud architecture and design. Cost increases in hypervisor technology have emerged across the IT world, leading to the exploration of alternatives. The prioritization of AI has fueled an increased focus on both the importance of private data and the need for greater control of infrastructure, reaffirming the significance of data centers, colocation, and hosted private cloud options for private AI.

    To gain further insight into how these trends are impacting the future of on-premises infrastructure investments, architecture, and design, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 380 IT professionals at organizations in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with or responsible for evaluating, purchasing, managing, and building application infrastructure.

  • The shift in enterprise data strategy has moved beyond enabling better decision-making, now focusing on powering AI at scale. Oracle Database@AWS represents a pivotal development, enabling organizations to unify structured and unstructured data, enforce governance, and help ensure compliance without compromising on performance or flexibility. By running Oracle Database services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) within AWS data centers, enterprises gain the power of Oracle Database 23ai features such as AI Vector Search, combined with access to AWS-native AI tools like Bedrock for Amazon Nova large language models and SageMaker. This collaboration reduces the friction in deploying AI from proof-of-concept to production by providing architectural compatibility, simplified operations, and a unified governance framework. The result is a new foundation for data platforms that meet the requirements of both business decision-making and AI enablement—secure, at scale, and intelligent.
