Red Hat Summit 2024: AI in the Mile High

Greg Macatee, Phil Goodwin — Thu, 16 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This year's Red Hat Summit 2024 event was held in Denver, Colorado, from May 6 to 9, which was a new location for the event after being held the past two years in Boston, Massachusetts.

With all the developments around AI and related technologies over the past year plus, it was only a matter of time before they made their way into the infrastructure software part of the stack as well. Many of the announcements made by Red Hat at this year's summit event were welcome additions to the company's product portfolio, with many of the new products, features, and enhancements that were unveiled setting the stage for the company's customers to begin/enhance the development of their AI capabilities with the same look, feel, performance, and levels of support for Red Hat products that they are used to regardless of where they are deploying their resources – or as Red Hat aptly puts it, in the "open hybrid cloud."

Vijay Bhagavath, Petr Jirovsky, Rohit Mehra — Thu, 16 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study forecasts and analyzes key trends impacting the worldwide market for datacenter networking.

"The datacenter networking market continued to see meaningful growth in 2023, enabled by early momentum in running generative AI models at cloud providers and enterprise networks. IDC is bullish on exciting industry initiatives ahead for network fabric modernization, driven by GenAI, enterprise SaaS, application modernization, and so forth, providing ample opportunity for robust market expansion in the years ahead." — Vijay Bhagavath, research vice resident, Cloud and Datacenter Networks, IDC

Datacenter Operations and Sustainability Survey, 2024

Sean Graham — Wed, 15 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey provides high-level insight into the current trends in datacenter operations and sustainability management. IDC surveyed 766 leaders worldwide (North America = 221, Europe = 210, APAC = 140, META = 145, and Latin America = 50) with roles in executive leadership, IT, facilities, or operations involved in datacenter decisions. The objective of this market research survey is to gain insight into current trends in datacenter operations management across enterprise and service provider operators.

Unsurprisingly, generative AI (GenAI) as a discrete topic is among the top initiatives for datacenter operators, but it's affecting capacity and changing the way datacenters are managed. Operators expect to expand all aspects of their hybrid multicloud environment, and there is a marked shift toward effective business management of datacenters.

Decision Matrices for Virtualization in Digital Workspaces

Shannon Kalvar — Wed, 15 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation provides a simplified set of scenario matrices for balancing competing priorities when choosing how to secure and encapsulate elements of a digital workspace using virtualization technologies. The techniques presented here can be expanded to include other adjacent areas or used as part of a larger strategic, tactical, or operational planning process.

The digital workspace has evolved as organizations moved to digital business operations using a dynamic approach drawn on resources from public clouds, software as a service, edge devices, datacenters and, increasingly, swarms of AI/ML models. This evolution makes even seemingly benign decisions a complex morass of conditional statements, potential risks, and spiraling options.

The presentation provides insight on various strategies among telcos in the region for shifting away from traditional telecom services to more advanced offerings.

Hybrid and Multicloud Interoperability Building Blocks for Future Enterprise Innovation

Wed, 15 May 2024 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective explores critical technologies and related investments that enterprises should be making to improve digital business outcomes by simplifying and automating many aspects of hybrid and multicloud interoperability.

"By breaking down workload and data silos using open standards and APIs, cloud-native container orchestration, unified control planes, and automated data logistics capabilities, enterprises can increase the value of their existing data assets and take better advantage of infrastructure innovation regardless of where it is physically deployed," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president, Future of Digital Infrastructure at IDC. "They can also improve overall infrastructure resiliency and trust while ensuring that data compliance and data protection requirements are consistently implemented."
