by a single AI-enabled software stack , enabling businesses to run applications anywhere – on-premises or in the public cloud .
“ By eliminating infrastructure silos , businesses are empowered to build a data foundation that enables them to consume the necessary data when and where they need it . This approach allows organisations to optimise their cloud journeys and avoid costly pitfalls that hinder their digital transformation success .”
As cloud technologies evolve , Caley explains that public cloud services are always going to be the first to innovate and offer the latest features . “ The hyperscalers have the agility and resources to develop new products and get them out there quickly . The great thing for customers is they can trial these new technologies as soon as they ’ re available without having to go through procurement processes or adding skills .
“ For example , the hyperscalers now offer a range of Gen AI services at a time when most companies simply don ’ t have the capability to run these themselves ,” he concludes . “ Organisations that have invested in intelligent data infrastructure are at an advantage here . They can make their data rapidly available to different services offered by public cloud providers making it easier to innovate at speed .”
