This IDC Market Perspective discusses the importance of digital infrastructure and its emerging trends in India. The document further details the key spending priorities of enterprises and the preferred deployment locations for digital infrastructure. With infrastructure investments not aligned with business goals, enterprises often end up either overspending or underspending on the required digital technologies. This Perspective document presents a detailed view of the reasons behind these challenges. The document further discusses the modernization preferences related to compute and storage infrastructure and how AI technologies will impact the type of compute systems procured. The document ends with advice to technology suppliers on identifying the key opportunities and what steps should be taken to guide and service their customers on their digital infrastructure investments. "Digital Infrastructure enhancements will offer new market opportunities to vendors in India. The market is expected to witness a strong adoption of as-a-consumption models across on-premises and public clouds. This is to drive agility and flexibility and leverage next-generation technologies. AI will be the cornerstone of digital infrastructure investments with gradual adoption of fit-for-purpose accelerators, high performance storage, and network interconnection technologies in India," says Rajiv Ranjan, associate research director, IDC India.
