Today, 90% of enterprise-generated data is processed through traditional or cloud data centers. By 2025, Gartner predicts that only 25% of enterprise-generated data will be processed in the same way as computing workloads move to the edge.

Due to the rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), user-driven technology demands, and the high velocity and volume of data, organizations are reevaluating their data center strategy to ensure their information technology (IT) infrastructure can deliver. IT has become an enabler of business strategy; organizations no longer view IT as a cost center but rather a centerpiece to their success. This change is empowering IT leaders to build infrastructure delivery models that most effectively support responsive, resilient experiences for their users. CIOs now focus on how to intelligently place computing workloads between public cloud, on-premise, and edge data centers rather than building an entire strategy around one methodology.
