Everyone is noticing the same thing — businesses globally are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to innovate and boost efficiency.

In fact, IDC’s latest Worldwide AI and Generative AI Spending Guide highlights that the Asia-Pacific region is projected to spend up to US$26 billion ($34.4 billion) by 2027 in Generative AI (GenAI) value. This investment behaviour in the region concurs with insights from our latest 2024 Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Index (ECI) report.
