TRENDING workload and application migration is a significant challenge given their current IT infrastructure .
IT teams aren ’ t just planning their sustainability programs , they are actively implementing them starting with IT modernisation . Eighty-eight per cent of ECI respondents agree that sustainability is a priority for their organisation . However , unlike in the previous report where action was limited , many organisations indicate they are already taking active steps to implement sustainability initiatives , with the most common being modernizing IT infrastructure . This shows the direct impact of IT infrastructure on sustainability .
Infrastructure modernisation is becoming an imperative , driven by AI , modern applications and data growth . ECI respondents identified increased investment to support AI strategy as their top priority , followed closely by investment in IT modernisation . Furthermore , 37 % of ECI respondents indicate running AI applications on their current IT infrastructure will be a “ significant ” challenge . To mitigate and overcome this challenge , organisations are prioritizing IT modernisation and edge infrastructure deployments , which can facilitate faster processing and access to data . This , in turn , can help improve their ability to link data from multiple environments to give better visibility into where data resides across their sprawling ecosystems .
