The Future of Digital Infrastructure, 2024: AI-Ready Platforms, Operating Models, and Governance


This IDC Perspective discusses IDC's Future of Digital Infrastructure framework, updated for 2024, that provides enterprise decision-makers with an updated view on how emerging innovations and disruptions across the digital infrastructure landscape will offer important opportunities for competitive advantage in the coming years. The framework identifies critical compute, storage, edge, network, and management operations technologies and public cloud infrastructure services that are likely to disrupt and transform IT operations and digital business capabilities. The framework also highlights the vital role that modern operating models, sourcing strategies, and governance processes play in ensuring that budgets, policies, and outcomes are well aligned across the business."Leading enterprises must be proactive in anticipating and exploiting digital infrastructure innovations as a new generation of compute, storage, network, edge, and management technologies and public cloud services become available," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research vice president, Future of Digital Infrastructure Agenda at IDC. "IDC's updated Future of Digital Infrastructure framework identifies some of the most important innovations IT leaders need to evaluate and deploy in the coming years. It also highlights the vital role that collaborative centers of excellence play in ensuring that organizations make cost-effective strategic digital infrastructure investments while minimizing the risk of tech debt and promoting organizationwide alignment on operational and security policies."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
