Agentic AI Is Rewriting PaaS Decision-Making

Adam Reeves — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Agentic AI is driving structural disruption in the PaaS market, with 80% of enterprise platform decision-makers reconsidering their portfolios as vendors converge on integrated architectures spanning development tooling, agent life-cycle management, governance, and data access. Developer enablement is a primary mechanism through which platform selection happens, with developers influencing 47% of cloud adoption and vendor selection spend. Enterprise IT leaders who govern developer toolchain adoption, assess governance depth, and require portability terms before committing will be better positioned than those who allow platform dependencies to accumulate by default.

"The worst outcome for enterprise IT is not choosing the wrong PaaS platform in the age of agentic AI. It is making no deliberate choice while dependencies accumulate by default," says Adam Reeves, research director, PaaS for Developers of Modern and Edge Applications, IDC.

This document distills the most consequential themes, on-stage debates, and customer stories from the event.

"Türkiye now has the talent, the leadership, the case studies and, increasingly, the local infrastructure to compete at the leading edge of the agent economy. The 17th IDC CIO Summit Türkiye made clear that the Turkish CIO is ready to lead that conversation. The next move is to scale." — Eren Eser, associate research director, IDC's Global Services Insights

SaaS: Post Mortem or Rebirth

Frank Della Rosa — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Despite high-profile claims of SaaS' demise and significant market volatility, the IDC Perspective argues that SaaS is undergoing structural transformation, not extinction. The rise of agentic AI is disrupting traditional SaaS models — especially seat-based pricing and workflow applications — but core enterprise platforms remain resilient due to deep integrations and data assets. The market is overestimating the speed and scale of disruption; SaaS will evolve, not disappear, as vendors adapt to new AI-driven paradigms.

"SaaS is not dead — it is being unbundled, rebundled, and redefined by agentic AI. The real question is which supplier adapts and thrives and which supplier vanishes?" says Frank Della Rosa, research vice president, SaaS, Platform Strategy and Ecosystems, IDC.

Cisco Isovalent Launches Networking for Virtualization Platform to Capture the Virtual Machine Migration Market

Paul Nicholson — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Cisco has announced the general availability (GA) of Isovalent Networking for Virtualization (INV), providing enterprise IT teams with a supported path to migrate virtual machine (VM) workloads from existing platforms to OpenShift Virtualization and Kubernetes KubeVirt without disrupting network connectivity or security policies. For IT leaders managing infrastructure modernization, this is a meaningful addition to the Cisco portfolio: It addresses one of the most common blockers in VM-to-Kubernetes migration projects, backed by networking technology already trusted by the world's largest cloud providers. Launched at Cisco Live (June 2026), INV becomes the fourth pillar of the Isovalent Enterprise Platform and demonstrates that Cisco's networking capabilities now extend well beyond traditional hardware.

HPE 2Q26 Results: Two Years Ahead of Plan

Matthew Eastwood — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

On June 1, 2026, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced record 2Q26 results. Revenue rose 40% year over year to $10.7 billion. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.79, and free cash flow was about $0.9 billion. Each metric surpassed guidance. Profitability and cash generation exceeded expectations by a wide margin.
