Digital Realty CTO: Storage a hidden datacenter challenge
Briefly

At the Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes, discussions largely bypassed storage issues, focusing instead on GPU, power, and land shortages. Although storage was not on the agenda, experts like Chris Sharp of Digital Realty emphasized its significance due to the ongoing AI explosion. Efficient data management, particularly in eliminating redundancies, could notably reduce power consumption in datacenters. As organizations invest heavily in GPUs for AI, concerns about data transfer times and storage access speed have surfaced, suggesting traditional storage solutions must evolve alongside advancements in compute and networking technology.
Storage is often overlooked at key industry events, but as AI drives datacenter growth, the need for reshaped storage solutions is becoming critical.
Efficient management of redundant data can significantly impact power consumption, highlighting the need for strategic storage solutions within datacenters.
