Worldwide Generative AI Datacenter Switching Forecast, 2023-2027: Insights on Cloud and Enterprise Buyer Journeys

This IDC study forecasts and analyzes key trends impacting the buildouts of generative AI (GenAI) models on the worldwide market for datacenter networking.Also, in this study we summarize actionable insights from our primary research with hyperscale cloud and enterprise IT decision makers on their "buying journeys" relating to the buildouts of datacenter networks for running GenAI workloads."2024 could see an early inflection point in the rollouts of GenAI network fabrics-enabled switch routers, at cloud providers and in enterprise datacenters, that are cost and performance optimized for implementing generative AI workloads. GenAI network infrastructure buildouts are an attractive multiyear monetization opportunity for the datacenter networking systems and silicon vendors." - Vijay Bhagavath, research VP, Cloud and Datacenter Networks, IDC
