Reimagining Data Infrastructure:
The Rise of AI Technologies Threatens Environmental Progress
Sustainable development “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” 1
“By 2025, without AI sustainability practices, AI will consume more energy than the human workforce, significantly offsetting carbon-zero gains.”2

Performance
Traditional data architectures compound environmental concerns by causing latency and bottlenecks in the data pipeline.
GPUs are voraciously energy-hungry and carbon-intensive, requiring a veritable ocean of streaming data to fuel them. Idle GPUs consume enormous amounts of energy and emit greenhouse gases.
70% the amount of time a GPU can sit idle waiting for data to run on a traditional architecture.
