Intelligent Digital Infrastructure Report 2023 

This year, our annual report asked 750 IT decision-makers what intelligence in their infrastructure means to them.

We found that those we surveyed fit into two camps: the pacesetters, who have already invested in intelligent capabilities like AI, on-demand networking and big data analysis; and the pragmatists, those who are just about to embark on their transformation journey.
