IBM Thinks Your Data Is Too Stubborn to Move (and AI Agrees)

IBM is positioning itself to capitalize on 'data gravity'—the tendency of enterprise data to remain stationary once settled. Rather than moving workloads to public clouds, enterprises are increasingly bringing AI capabilities to on-premises data centers due to egress fees, latency, security concerns, and regulatory issues. IBM's hybrid cloud model, featuring Power servers and Z mainframes, targets this shift, while competitors like Oracle, CrowdStrike, and Seagate are also recognizing this trend.
