Local managed service provider (MSP) Mother Technologies is encouraging businesses to review their upcoming IT requirements as the rapid growth of AI puts increasing pressure on the cost and availability of everyday IT equipment.
AI systems and the data centres behind them require huge amounts of memory and storage. As investment accelerates, demand for these components is outstripping supply and creating a serious global shortage. The impact is now being felt across business laptops, desktops, servers and storage, with higher prices, shorter quote periods, longer delivery times and fewer options when equipment is needed quickly.
With pricing and availability changing quickly, businesses should build flexibility into their budgets and timescales. Speaking to an IT provider as soon as a requirement is known can provide a clearer picture of current costs, stock availability and suitable alternatives, helping to reduce delays and unexpected spending.
