By the Numbers
Key takeaways
Planning for hybrid infrastructure in your GenAI projects
GenAI projects depend on secure hybrid infrastructures. It's crucial to adopt infrastructure solutions with robust security capabilities through strategic cloud services.
Why building platform engineering teams pays off
Cloud-native benefits require strong platform engineering. Prioritizing developer experience and innovation matters more than mastering complex technologies for organizations seeking cloud strategy consulting.
The value of partnering with global systems integrators (GSIs)
Multicloud AI complexity and resource constraints make GSIs vital for accelerating projects, improving outcomes and supporting IT strategy with cloud computing consultancy.
Creating intentional multicloud strategies that work
Intentional multicloud adoption succeeds by evaluating providers' offerings for cost-efficiency and required capabilities — not just defaulting to multicloud setups through AWS services.
