AI and Cloud Connectivity — Impact on Networking and Connectivity Investments

Paul Hughes — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective examines how the rapid growth of AI workloads is reshaping enterprise network infrastructure requirements and connectivity investment priorities. Drawing on IDC's 2025 Enterprise Connectivity Infrastructure and Services Survey, the report shows that bandwidth demand is accelerating across all industries, AI traffic is on track to overtake traditional network traffic by 2027–2028, and enterprises are already increasing investment in SD-WAN, network-as-a-service (NaaS), edge computing, and cloud interconnect. This document also identifies vertical-specific connectivity requirements across financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and the public sector, and provides actionable guidance for technology buyers and suppliers navigating the AI connectivity imperative.

"AI does not exist without connectivity. As enterprises accelerate their AI road maps, the network is no longer an infrastructure but is considered a strategic asset. Enterprises that align their connectivity strategy with their AI ambitions today will be the ones that deliver on the promise of AI tomorrow," says Paul Hughes, research director, IDC.

No Time to Patch: Cisco Live 2026 Security Announcements

Frank Dickson, Christopher Rodriguez, Grace Trinidad — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

The window between vulnerability disclosure and active exploitation has collapsed, and Cisco built its entire Cisco Live 2026 security narrative around that fact. The company's answer arrives on two fronts: Live Protect, an eBPF-based runtime shield that blocks specific exploit paths without a reboot or a full patch, and Cisco Cloud Control, a unified operations platform that enables humans and AI agents to manage infrastructure, with governance, visibility, and oversight. Splunk's Agentic SOC, a three-level Quantum Resilience Framework, and a builder-security strategy anchored on AI Defense round out the set. Read against the 2025 vision keynote, this year reads as a delivery checkpoint, with Cisco converting conceptual previews into shipping capabilities. The open question for buyers is speed: how fast Cisco Talos can produce and validate a shield once a vulnerability surfaces, and whether coverage reaches the full portfolio on a timeline that matches the threat it describes.

市场份额：中国人工智能加速卡市场份额，2025

Yunlong Du — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本IDC研究分析了2025年中国人工智能加速卡市场中领先供应商的市场份额。2025年加速卡市场按出货量计算同比增长47%。目前，GPU加速卡仍占据主导地位，市场份额达66%。非GPU加速卡的增长同样不容小觑，其占比已从2024年的28%升至34%，预计未来这一份额还将持续扩大。

IDC中国AI基础架构市场分析师杜昀龙表示：“当前AI芯片市场进入推理算力主导阶段，行业规模稳步扩容。训练芯片依旧高度集中，推理端专用芯片快速崛起，市场格局呈现一超多元态势。技术层面，Chiplet先进封装、HBM存储、液冷散热成为核心发展方向，ARM 架构占比持续攀升。中国本土芯片企业依托推理、中端场景加速实现替代突破，但仍受制程、软件生态制约。供应链供需偏紧叠加地缘因素带来不确定性，行业竞争加剧，后续算力商业化落地、技术迭代与本土化进程将成为市场核心看点。”

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Network Consulting Services 2026 Vendor Assessment

Leslie Rosenberg, Chris Barnard, Bruno Teyton — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment of several providers participating in the worldwide network consulting services market for 2026. IDC MarketScape is an evaluation based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters that assesses providers relative to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to success in each market in both the short term and the long term. The document highlights the importance of new defining thought leadership and delivery best practices for mature as well as emerging networking technologies alike. It also provides an assessment of various network consulting services firms, their strengths, challenges, and when to consider them.

"As enterprises navigate rising architectural complexity, accelerating digital transformation, and persistent skills gaps across multivendor environments, network consulting services have become an essential strategic lever — enabling organizations to accelerate transformation timelines, reduce technical debt, and align infrastructure investments directly to outcomes," states Leslie Rosenberg, research vice president, Network Life Cycle and Infrastructure Services, IDC. "IT buyers that effectively engage network consulting firms report meaningful progress in designing AI-ready infrastructure, modernizing legacy networks, and building the frameworks needed to sustain long-term operational resilience."
