GPU Scarcity Drives Need for Higher Utilization
Data, AI, and IT leaders must maximize GPU cycles during runtime and minimize the rest
APPLICATIONS &
WORKFLOWS
DATA PIPELINES
DATA STORES
INFRASTRUCTURE
COST
GOVERNANCE • Optimize software algorithms with efficient
design and deployment
• Implement dynamic scaling to consume
GPUs only as needed
• Adopt cloud-based GPUs to avoid idle
onsite systems

Distributed Datasets Conflict with Latency Requirements
Data, AI, and IT leaders must synchronize compute and storage resources
APPLICATIONS &
WORKFLOWS
DATA PIPELINES
DATA STORES
INFRASTRUCTURE
COST
GOVERNANCE • Modern analytics use cases require
real-time processing
• Hybrid and multi-cloud environments
cannot meet these SLAs
• Distributed caching, unified namespace,
and metadata can accelerate workloads
