More than half (58%) of UK companies are overwhelmed by the amount of data they manage and almost two thirds (65%) of leaders are concerned they cannot detect a data breach in time to protect data, according to a new survey from Hitachi Vantara.
As new and exciting data-intensive technologies and applications like Generative AI are spurring a goldrush to greater insights, automation and predictability, these technologies are simultaneously exacerbating the already-strained infrastructure and hybrid cloud environments on which they run.
The company conducted a global survey of 1,288 C-level executives and IT decision makers, including 111 in the UK, to quantify the extent to which organisations are struggling to manage their data infrastructure in a secure and sustainable way.
Bharti Patel, Senior Vice President, Product Engineering, Hitachi Vantara, said: “The reality is that today’s infrastructure modernisation involves state-of-the-art platforms that not only provide greater speed, reliability and protection of data, but they also require significantly less space and energy requirements, so businesses can gain more value from their data while also reducing their carbon footprint at the same time. Organisations that are proactive today in prioritising these critical areas will have a significant advantage in the market in the years to come.”
