The what, how and why of AI

Data plays a pivotal role in any artificial intelligence (AI) implementation. In fact, data is often the most under-used asset a company has, and a ‘data-first’ approach forms the very foundation of AI. This is according to Shakeel Jhazbhay, general manager: Digital Business Solutions at Datacentrix, a high performing and secure ICT solutions provider, who explains that a Narrative Science survey confirms his claim.  

“The survey results state that 61% of companies with an innovation strategy say they are using AI to identify opportunities in data that would otherwise be missed, while only 22% of those without such a strategy could make this claim,” he says.

Assmang opts for first-of-its-kind mobile data centre with Datacentrix at Khumani Mine

​Mining organisation Assmang is rolling out a groundbreaking mobile data centre solution at its Khumani Iron Ore Mine in the Northern Cape province to meet its fast-growing information storage requirements. The solution was proposed, designed and deployed by Infrasol, Datacentrix’s infrastructure design and deployment business unit.
​
Ferdi Kirsten, manager: IT at Assmang Khumani, explains that the mine needed to update and expand its previous server room, which was designed in 2006 prior to Khumani becoming operational in 2008. “The original Khumani server room had become far too small for our needs – the 4m x 4m room containing six racks meant that there was very little space to manoeuvre and we had experienced some issues with cooling.”
