Commitment to Speed, Reliability, and Cost Efficiency

According to recent surveys, Australian enterprises are rapidly embracing AI technologies following a significant surge in generative AI. Notably, Vocus said nearly half of the Chief Information Officers (CIOs) surveyed by Gartner have either deployed or have plans to deploy AI and machine learning within the next 12 months.

Jarrod Nink, Chief Operating Officer of Vocus, emphasised the scale of AI’s computational requirements, stating, “Large language models are processing trillions of parameters and petabytes of data. Usage of these models in turn is predicted to drive material bandwidth growth: Gartner predicts that within two years, generative AI will be producing 10 percent of all data globally.” This prediction emphasises the need for a robust network infrastructure capable of handling the exponential increase in data volume.
