According to a recent, global Recon Analytics survey[1] commissioned by Seagate Technology business leaders from across 15 industry sectors and 10 countries expect that adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) applications will generate unprecedented volumes of data, driving a boom in demand for data storage, and cloud-based storage, in particular.  

[1] The November 2024 survey sampled more than 1,000 business decision-makers who actively work in a storage infrastructure role with companies reporting $10+ million in annual revenue and that have already adopted AI or plan to adopt AI within the next three years. The survey results provide insights on the current impacts of AI application usage on infrastructure priorities as well as data retention and management dynamics. Results also explore respondents’ expectations for how increased AI adoption will impact infrastructure needs over the next three years.
