"Microsofts datacenterregion vil sikre Forsvaret adgang til IT- og datakapacitet, som vi ikke kan udvikle selv. Mange af de løsninger, vi er afhængige af i fremtiden – inklusive løsninger, der bygger på kunstig intelligens – kræver computerkraft, der kun er mulig ved brug af cloud-løsninger. Jeg ser derfor frem til samarbejdet med Microsoft i forhold til de konkrete muligheder, som den nye datacenterregion åbner for Forsvaret,” siger Kristian Vengsgaard, Chief Information Officer i Forsvaret"

- danielovichdk 5y agoTranslated "Microsoft's data center region will ensure the Armed Forces access to IT and data capacity that we cannot develop ourselves. Many of the solutions we depend on in the future - including solutions based on artificial intelligence - require computing power that is only possible using cloud solutions. I therefore look forward to the collaboration with Microsoft in relation to the specific opportunities that the new data center region opens up for the Armed Forces, ”says Kristian Vengsgaard, Chief Information Officer in the Armed Forces"
- HumanReadable 5y agoI have a feeling the computing demand for every AI use case the Danish military could want to pursue, could be met by a few mainframes with fewer security risks. Given the work that goes into verifying the data center meets some assumably very high requirements, I imagine mainframes might even be the cheaper solution too. Seems to me like yet another example of companies successfully lobbying governments to buy unnecessary things.
