AI Infrastructure Decisions Go Awry for 94% of Organizations

Organizations adopting AI technology are finding that getting the infrastructure right is proving to be a significant challenge. According to a survey conducted by Cisco in collaboration with Omdia, nearly every organization (94%) reports regrets regarding their initial AI infrastructure strategy.

The research suggests that early decisions about where to place workloads were made before teams fully understood the economics, security requirements, and workload realities. This led to issues with costs, security, control, power, and latency.

While 96% of organizations have already adopted a hybrid approach across cloud, on-premises data centers, and edge infrastructure, getting that mix right is proving difficult.
