Artificial Intelligence technology is advancing at an increasing rate. Due to its high efficiency and productive results, it has become an integral part of IT in a shorter time.
IT infrastructure comprises various components including hardware, software and the network. Businesses generate huge amounts of data on a regular basis that needs to be managed properly. With AI, we get a system that learns the relationships between various IT components on its own and recognizes data patterns to react accordingly.
How Does AI-defined infrastructure support Infrastructure Management?
IT can benefit immensely from AI-based infrastructure. This infrastructure can facilitate infrastructure management in several aspects. Here are five ways in which AI can change infrastructure management services.
Analyzing core reasons
AI can help analyze the root cause of multiple failures that humans cannot. Humans are often unable to reach the core reasons due to limitations in information analysis. However, AI has no limitations like that and can analyze and process any amount of information easily in a shorter time.
Predicting and preventing failure
Humans can sometimes fail to identify problems at an earlier stage and it can cause the system to crash. Human negligence or error is inevitable as even after multiple training modules we haven’t reached the level where we can identify tiny issues that can become larger in the future. However, AI can identify all issues and predict failures and help in preventive maintenance.
Reducing dependency on humans and cost savings
While AI cannot eliminate dependency on humans in some fields, it can surely reduce it. AI solves various issues in infrastructure management without requiring human intervention. It can help companies save a significant amount of time and money as they can reduce spending on hiring and training humans for several tasks. Infrastructure management companies are constantly learning to involve AI for maximum productive results.
Detecting cybersecurity threats
Cybersecurity breaches cause severe damage to companies every year. In recent years, these attacks have increased significantly and risk critical data worth millions. AI can help identify potential threats and prevent cybersecurity breaches. It has the ability to read patterns of networks, devices and systems and identify any changes or unusual patterns at the earliest. If there is any unusual pattern detected, it can send alerts and take necessary actions. AI-based systems help safeguard online data with ease.
Automated mitigation
When the system gains knowledge and understanding of failures and threats, it can have reflex actions in case of any threats. These reflexes can resolve several issues instantly and help organizations get protection against possible threats and issues. They also help save money and resources for the organizations. Advancements in artificial intelligence can help form these reflexes without requiring extra manual effort and creating any additional systems. Thus, AI can help with automated mitigation and save a lot of money and manual efforts of the organization.
