> A global survey of 1,303 CIOs and senior IT practitioners finds 71% of respondents believe the explosion of data produced by cloud-native technology stacks is beyond humans’ ability to manage.

The AI revolution is another one.
> And so, when we can get our hands on some infrastructure spending data, we pull it apart and plot out the trends. We have just done this with the cloud and bare server and storage spending numbers released by IDC today to give you a sense of what is happening, how it compares with the past, and what the most recent spending forecast is from the market researcher.
