Expectations for AI and IT Infrastructure

2023 was a challenging year for server and storage OEMs, marked by weak demand across enterprise and SMB customers.

Enterprises will rush to acquire as much AI-capable hardware as possible, opening doors for a new portfolio of consulting, design, implementation and managed services.

Prediction: Cloud customers are looking for ways to decrease IT complexity and cost

As public cloud rates continues to rise, enterprises will continue to reevaluate workload placement to optimize performance and cost.
