According to a new report by Information Services Group (ISG), enterprises worldwide are redesigning AI infrastructure strategies to support long-term operational performance as AI workloads become integral to core business functions. The 2026 ISG Provider Lens® global AI-Ready Infrastructure Solutions report finds that organizations are placing increasing emphasis on infrastructure supporting sustained AI operations while balancing performance, financial accountability and resilience. As demand for AI training, fine-tuning and inference expands, enterprises are reevaluating infrastructure architectures to address regional differences in compute availability, power capacity, networking and regulation. Cost management has become a defining consideration, with organizations seeking infrastructure models that provide predictable pricing, clear visibility into resource consumption and mechanisms for allocating costs. Reliability and embedded security and governance controls are becoming standard enterprise expectations, with buyers increasingly evaluating resilience, recovery procedures and monitoring capabilities alongside performance.
