Hyperscale cloud has undeniably brought about significant growth and a transformation in the industry. Now, the question arises - will AI have a similar impact? Speaking to The Tech Capital at the infra/Structure Summit in Toronto, Raul Martynek, CEO of DataBank, shed light on this topic. He said that as we look ahead, the AI era holds immense potential, but the question of its magnitude remains. How big will this era be? The demand profile for AI is a critical aspect to consider. Is the demand real and imminent, or are we still in the early stages of the hype cycle? These are questions that need exploration. Furthermore, the advent of AI will undoubtedly bring about changes in the way the sector builds and operates. The integration of AI technology will revolutionize processes and drive innovation. It is crucial to understand how this transformation will unfold and the implications it will have for the industry. DataBank recognizes the significance of meeting the AI demand. The group’s focus lies in adapting to this evolving landscape and providing the necessary infrastructure and solutions. As a result, and in line with its strategic vision, DataBank has recently concluded the sale of European assets to Etix Everywhere, enabling it to concentrate efforts on strengthening its US footprint. “While overseas expansion might not be on our immediate agenda, we remain agile and open to opportunities that may arise,” the chief executive said. When asked about the next five years ahead, Martynek added that the plan for the business involves continued growth, innovation, and staying at the forefront of industry trends. +++ Follow us on: Subscribe: https://thetechcapital.com/register/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thetechcapital_ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-tech-capital Instagram: https://instagram.com/thetechcapital_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Tech-Capital-101679965480510 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ8yuPvtECZCwV2g9OkX1w #digitalinfrastructure #datacenter #infrastructure2023 #thetechcapital #cloudadoption #cloudcomputing #datacentre #infrastructure #youleadwereport @databank
