Future-Ready Infrastructures: Enabling AI and Workload Modernization

Future-Ready Infrastructures: Enabling AI and Workload Modernization

Infrastructure and platforms are the fundamental building blocks for digital businesses today, making their reliability, stability and business value a key C-suite priority. With AI appearing everywhere, infrastructure must be flexible and agile to support innovation, while maintaining the desired level of control and risk mitigation across all environments. But are enterprises’ infrastructures ready for this AI-enabled future?

There are many aspects of infrastructure modernisation to consider in transitioning to a future-ready state. Getting the balance right between on-premises private cloud and public cloud infrastructure is critical, with most enterprises recognising a hybrid model as key to success. Modernising workloads to take advantage of cloud services can be a challenge, but one that will deliver optimal outcomes. Many enterprises also worry about perceived risks as they migrate to the public cloud: how do they avoid losing visibility and control? How do they maintain the operational consistency and familiarity they value from their on-premises environments in a public cloud environment? What new security risks accompany the public cloud, and could public cloud actually be an answer to security concerns? What sovereignty concerns emerge, both regulatory and self-imposed?
