How does your business plan to respond to the need for managing increasing amounts of data? No matter the industry, businesses of all sizes are now forced to confront the challenge of handling more data more efficiently. When you put off your data management needs, you’re only getting in the way of your own success while breeding inefficiency. For growth-oriented businesses, these data management problems can quickly spell disaster and lead to the collapse of mission-critical business processes. That’s why data management has become a foundational facet for today’s leading companies.
Not sure where to begin? Artificial intelligence (AI) storage solutions may sound like a daunting prospect, but they’re actually designed to make your team’s jobs easier so they can get back to focusing on work instead of worrying about data storage. In this post, we explore the fundamentals of AI data intelligence so you can start taking advantage of the latest technology while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
The Basics of Data Automation
Some businesses are under the impression that you need extensive resources and capital to support AI infrastructure, yet many companies are already using some level of AI to streamline data management without even realizing it. If you use an automated data backup platform, you’re already taking advantage of AI technology.
Automated backup solutions make it easy to ensure your data stays protected from accidental deletion, network failures, and even ransomware. Plus, you don’t have to worry about someone on your team forgetting to back up data when you need it most. That’s because AI schedules backups to occur at predetermined intervals or when network traffic is at its lowest.
Automating backups not only ensures that network traffic remains unhindered by backup operations; doing so also makes it easier to back up your system—with both cloud storage and on-premises devices—more frequently. Plus, AI can help you pinpoint which data is most valuable and refine your backup strategies with these insights.
Along with data backup and restoration tools, some other processes that are ripe for automation include:
- Database functions
- Data extract, transform, load (ETL)
- Data movement and synchronization
- Performance monitoring and optimization
- IT security auditing
The increasing availability of purpose-built machine learning software tools has made it feasible for businesses of all sizes to take advantage of AI and deep learning capabilities.
Network Storage Optimization
Before the days of network automation, it used to take days, weeks, or even months to provision and install large-scale distributed databases. With the automation and orchestration capabilities of the cloud, this same process can now be completed in a matter of minutes, all while delivering the high-availability, on-demand resources network performance depends on. With an automated data management platform, AI can perform ongoing health checks, redirect network traffic to improve performance, and scale resources to meet resource demands in real time.
Using AI to Solve Business Problems
AI tools can be used to provide straightforward solutions to a variety of complex business problems. If you’re looking for ways to streamline your organization’s supply chain, AI applications can automatically survey and optimize your supply chain at every level. Has your team become inundated with repetitive data entry processes? An AI platform can help solve that while minimizing entry errors so your team can get back to tasks that require a more human touch.
In today’s cyber security landscape, businesses of all sizes across every industry have become potential targets for cyber criminals. Fortunately, an automated cyber security platform makes it easy to keep your network protected without slowing your team—or your network—down. AI tools can be used to monitor and track suspicious network traffic, train your team on an ongoing basis, and even filter out malicious activity.
