The phenomenon in which large datasets attract applications, services, and computing power to locate near them because of network latency.
Data Gravity shapes enterprise architecture. Moving large datasets to cloud-based AI models is often impractical because of bandwidth costs and latency, so organizations deploy the models where the data already lives: in On-Premises Infrastructure and Private AI deployments inside the enterprise boundary.
