Abstract
This IDC Survey Spotlight highlights the results of a survey question concentrating on the top networking requirements for generative AI (GenAI) workflows when evaluating hyperscale cloud providers.
These survey results are drawn from IDC's AI in Networking Special Report, driven by an extensive worldwide survey of 1,200 enterprise network executives and experts. The report covers requirements, impact, and plans for supporting AI/GenAI workloads across the network and using AI-powered private and public networking solutions within the network. The focus of this research is comprehensive, covering datacenters, cloud services, multicloud environments, network core and edge, and network management. While the report offers only a view into total responses, results are available by geographic region, select country, company size, major vertical industries, respondents' title and technology role, and AI maturity level.
"Artificial intelligence and GenAI applications are top of mind for digital transformation initiatives, with the rate of applications poised to come online increasing challenges and barriers for success being encountered. This survey question reveals the current top networking requirements faced by enterprises in hyperscale cloud environments. The data shows that the most important criteria relate to the application deployment phase challenges, while certain operational-related challenges are ranked lower. This may shift over time as organizations have more experience deploying a higher number, and wider range, of AI and GenAI applications." — Paul Nicholson, research vice president, Cloud and Datacenter Networks at IDC
