IoT and machine learning are driving network transformation

Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and the internet of things (IoT) lead emerging technology conversations across the world. Companies recognise that these technologies are ready to be used to drive real business benefits. The Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region is set to pick up the pace on these two fronts. According to a recent cloud survey by MIT Technology Review Custom and VMware, more than 70% of non-users of AI in APJ said their organisations will adopt the technology within five years. IDC forecasted global IoT spending to surpass $1 trillion USD in 2020, with APJ leading the way.
