With digital transformations kicking in, IT has more data than ever. So, the big question is, how do you safely store all that data and make it accessible to everyone? The answer is not easy but fortunately, many breakthroughs are coming our way in the next few months. Read this list of top five trends to find out how data storage will take shape and help businesses perform to their optimum levels:

a) AI in Data Storage The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for IT operations (AIOps) is growing within the data storage space. According to IBM, one-third of companies have already deployed AIOps to automate their IT operations. AI can monitor storage applications, diagnose problems, automate actions, and do predictive analysis. AI can also optimize cooling, predict maintenance issues, and offer insights on a range of crucial parameters. As AI can optimize storage and streamline functions, companies consider this a significant cost savings. No wonder Gartner predicts that by 2025, half of all data centers will use AI/ML to increase efficiency by 30%.
