Matching Infrastructure to Agency NeedsOne of the key benefits of hybrid infrastructure is that it allows IT teams to place workloads where they best meet agency requirements. Public cloud environments are often well suited for AI experimentation or workloads requiring burst capacity, while on-premises infrastructure may be preferable for applications involving sensitive citizen or public safety data. Keeping data close to processing resources can also reduce latency for AI applications. As workloads mature and costs become more predictable, some choose to move those workloads back on-premises. Those optimizations increasingly depend on matching compute resources to AI workloads.
