About 85% of enterprises believe that IT infrastructure is the bedrock of business transformation initiatives. However, most enterprises believe that their current IT infrastructure services model is not ready to cater to their digital needs. Digital enterprises need to consider a new model for IT infrastructure – Infrastructure 3.0, where the focus of IT infrastructure management is on improving business metrics instead of pre-defined IT SLAs and TCO management. Infrastructure services need to be underpinned by AI, analytics, and automation to drive self-healing/self-configuring systems that can dynamically and autonomously adapt to changing business needs, thus creating an “invisible” infrastructure model that is highly secure and requires minimal oversight.
