"2026 Wasabi Global Cloud Storage Index Report"

Key Takeaways from the 2026 Wasabi Global Cloud Storage Index Report

Data is growing. The stakes are rising. And AI is rewriting the rules.

Join Wasabi for a deep dive into the 2026 Cloud Storage Index - an independent global study of 1,700 IT decision-makers that reveals how organizations are rethinking storage, cost, and security in the age of AI.

From surging infrastructure budgets to the hidden cost of cloud fees, this candid conversation with Wasabi Chief Financial Officer Michael Bayer breaks down what’s really happening behind the headlines - and what it means for your storage strategy in the year ahead.

Across AI investment trends, dark data realities, unpredictable cloud bills, and rising cyber risk, the team explores how infrastructure decisions today will shape business outcomes tomorrow.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why 60% of organizations are increasing AI infrastructure budgets - and where that money is actually going
• How “dark data” (often 25–50% of stored data) represents untapped opportunity - if you can afford to access it
• Why nearly half of organizations exceeded their cloud storage budgets last year
• How unpredictable fees (egress, API, retrieval) can double your total storage costs
• Why data storage and data quality - not compute  - are now the top AI infrastructure challenges
• What’s driving the confidence gap in cloud data security
• How to think differently about ROI, risk, and long-term data retention in an autonomous AI era

Whether you’re a CIO, CFO, architect, or storage leader, this session delivers data-backed insights to help you build a smarter, more predictable, and more resilient storage strategy.
