디지털리얼티 조사 “아시아태평양 기업 절반 이상, 2026년 AI 투자 25% 이상 확대 계획”

Digital Realty's 2026 Global Data Insights Survey reveals that 59% of Asia Pacific respondents expect their companies to increase AI investment by 25% or more in 2026, exceeding the global average of 55%. However, AI adoption maturity varies significantly by market: Australia leads in realizing AI ROI (33%), Japan prioritizes regulatory compliance, Singapore faces infrastructure gaps, and South Korea emphasizes interconnection capabilities. The survey highlights that while 92% of APAC respondents align data location strategies with AI plans, only 22% report fully integrated hybrid infrastructure, indicating ongoing challenges in connecting distributed environments across the region.
