Description

This IDC Market Perspective highlights how infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) network services offered by cloud service providers can help accelerate deployment of enterprise GenAI workflows. IaaS network services ensure on-demand connectivity, optimized performance, and robust security, enabling seamless data movement across distributed GenAI workload environments. “GenAI workloads associated with next-generation business-critical applications operate across public cloud and private on-premises environments, continuously requiring complex exchanges. This makes high performance, global scale, and secure networking a ‘need’ rather than a ‘convenience’,” said Taranvir Singh, research manager, Cloud Networking Services at IDC. “Traditional static and siloed networking approaches struggle to solve the needs and challenges that distributed, modern GenAI workflows present. As GenAI adoption accelerates, organizations are increasingly relying on IaaS network services — such as cloud VPN, cloud interconnect, cloud WAN, load balancing, private service connects, cloud DNS, and service mesh — for simple, scalable, and efficient networks, powering AI and powered by AI.”
