Connect | New York // DCD>Debate: Clouded judgment - Are enterprises asking too much of cloud providers?

As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud providers for AI, data storage, and real-time computing, the strain on infrastructure is intensifying.

Many businesses overlook the complexities cloud providers face in scaling to meet growing demands. With hybrid-cloud environments becoming the norm, the pressure to deliver on performance, security, and availability is higher than ever. As enterprises push for faster performance and more granular services, the risk of security breaches, data management issues, and rising costs grows. Are cloud providers being asked to do the impossible? Will escalating expectations force a reevaluation of cloud reliance, or will enterprises turn to more predictable, on-premises solutions for greater oversight and control?
