This IDC study provides an overview of the market size and forecast for global spend on enterprise infrastructure to power enterprise workloads. Infrastructure vendors of physical enterprise infrastructure platforms, cloud service providers that offer infrastructure services, and enterprises that plan their IT infrastructure spend can leverage this document toward their planning."We are starting to get a clearer picture of the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on enterprise infrastructure workloads," said Max Pepper, senior research analyst, IDC's Infrastructure Systems, Platforms, and Technologies. "Workload infrastructure is increasingly being migrated offsite and on to the cloud at a pace accelerated by changes seen in the digital space, especially for workloads that were strongly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic like client computing and content delivery. This drive for an increased digital-first ecosystem is also spurring stronger development in experimental technology, and the market will see increased demand for infrastructure in app development and test and AI life cycle as businesses seek to harness the potential of these new technologies to future proof against further pandemic developments and improve efficiency."
