The New Backbone of Enterprise It: Is Hybrid AI the Next Big Compute Era?

The AI era isn’t being built in one place, and enterprises are finally accepting that reality.
From Lenovo Tech World in Las Vegas, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman are with Flynn Maloy, Chief Marketing Officer for ISG at Lenovo, to examine why hybrid AI has become the operating model enterprises are embracing in practice. Their discussion moves past cloud ideology to focus on how organizations are distributing AI across on-prem, cloud, and edge environments as performance tradeoffs, governance requirements, and data gravity dictate where workloads can realistically run.
Key Takeaways:
🔷 Hybrid AI is becoming the default, not the exception: Enterprises are learning that no single environment can meet every AI requirement across performance, cost, and governance.
🔷 Data location drives architecture decisions: The question of where data will live increasingly determines where AI workloads can run, reshaping infrastructure roadmaps and becoming as important as the models themselves.
🔷 On-prem, cloud, and edge must work together: Modern AI depends on coordination across environments, not isolated stacks.
🔷 Infrastructure choices today define flexibility tomorrow: Early architectural decisions shape how easily organizations can scale and adapt AI over time.
