What is the shift in infrastructure strategy for enterprises in 2026?
In 2026, the traditional 'cloud-first' approach is evolving into a more balanced 'hybrid-by-design' strategy. Enterprises are focusing on workload-right placement, which means they are strategically choosing between public cloud, private cloud, on-premises, and edge environments based on factors like cost, performance, compliance, and resiliency. This shift is expected to lead to over 40% of leading enterprises adopting hybrid computing paradigms in critical business workflows by 2028.
How is cost management changing in enterprise IT?
Cost management in enterprise IT is transitioning from a periodic exercise to a continuous operational discipline. With the unpredictable consumption patterns introduced by AI workloads, IT teams are expanding FinOps to cover total technology spending, including AI infrastructure costs and automated efficiency measures. By 2027, G1000 organizations are projected to face up to a 30% increase in underestimated AI infrastructure costs, making clear visibility into spending essential for justifying future investments.
What role does observability play in enterprise operations?
In 2026, observability is shifting from merely monitoring to a more proactive approach that emphasizes action. With many organizations experiencing 'alert fatigue' due to the overwhelming amount of telemetry data, IT leaders are consolidating observability platforms and leveraging AIOps to reduce alert noise and automate low-risk remediation. This new focus aims to enhance outcomes related to availability, performance, and reliability, directly aligning with service-level objectives and business impact.
