The financial industry is under pressure:
customers want to be served faster and faster and
changing product requirements must be implemented in no time at all. This requires the utmost
level of flexibility and productivity.
The major conclusion: investing in digital infrastructure solutions is essential in order to be
flexible (adaptive) and resistant (resilient) in times of crisis. That is why many
finance companies are investing in the digital transformation and big data. AI adoption is on the rise across industries, yet most organisations lack the necessary infrastructure to handle the high-performance data demands and energy requirements essential for maximising its benefits. This limitation poses a challenge to the successful implementation of AI to support critical corporate initiatives, including those aimed at achieving environmental goals. Nearly all IT buyers feel pressure to reduce their carbon footprint. In fact, most agree that meeting IT goals is impossible without properly preparing IT infrastructure to support AI.

On a fundamental level, Nvidia is poised for explosive growth. Earnings should more than triple this fiscal year, driven by booming chip sales for data centers and artificial intelligence.
The fabless chipmaker is expanding in other growth areas, such as automated electric cars, cloud gaming and the metaverse as well. But macroeconomic uncertainties linger. Geopolitical risks are also rife, from the U.S.-China trade war to actual war in Ukraine and Israel. The struggle facing new entrants is that the barriers to entry are as high as they are complex. Much of the flurry of activity over recent years in this space has been dominated by hyperscalers and telcos. While highly capable in executing large new projects (and often doing so off balance sheet), they themselves admit they are far from immune from the problems facing the industry. Designing routs that will manage geopolitical risk and arranging landing parties in the right locations is just the tip of the iceberg.
