With all the assumptions we make about the advancements in enterprise data and cloud technologies, there’s a plain fact that often gets overlooked: The majority of the most important enterprise data remains in the corporate data center. In some cases, it’s because of the highly sensitive nature of data, whether it’s HIPAA compliance, sensitive banking data or other privacy concerns. In other cases, the data resides in systems (think legacy enterprise resource-planning data or petabyte-scale scientific research data) that are difficult to move to the cloud.

Indeed, high-performance computing services are a big reason companies move their data to the cloud.

For a long time, companies have been forced to do the opposite: bring their data to AI.
