Density choices for AI training are increasingly complex

High-end AI systems receive the bulk of the industry’s attention, but organizations looking for the best training infrastructure implementation have choices. Getting it right, however, may take a concerted effort.

 
Cloud cost savings depend on application design

Scalability and cost efficiency are the top reasons enterprises migrate to the cloud, but scalability issues due to application design flaws can lead to spiralling costs — and some workload repatriation to on-premises facilities

Outage data shows cloud apps must be designed for failure

On average, cloud apps achieve availabilities of 99.97% regardless of their architecture. However, for the unlucky few that experience issues, a dual-region design has five times less downtime than one based on a single data center.

 
2025 AI Infrastructure Survey [Results and Crosstab files]
