Neoclouds Not Ready for AI Networking, Omdia Warns<\/b><\/p>\n

Audit probes scale, resilience, and sovereignty; enterprises urged to check five risk areas<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMany neoclouds are not prepared for the networking demands of artificial intelligence, according to a new audit by Omdia, which warns enterprises to scrutinize suppliers beyond raw compute capacity.<\/p>\n

AI models Network traffic and performance variations<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nOmdia\u2019s study, covering 50 neoclouds, finds that providers have scaled compute for AI workloads, but networking infrastructure is becoming a critical constraint. AI performance increasingly depends on the ability to process and move data securely across distributed environments and geographies.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cNetwork infrastructure will make or break neoclouds,\u201d said Camille Mendler, Omdia Research Director, Telco B2B<\/a>. \u201cLow-latency, resilient and secure connectivity- from backbone to edge – is table stakes for success, not least because sovereignty spans where AI workloads move.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nOmdia identifies five key risk areas that enterprises adopting AI should investigate:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In-house skills:<\/b> 43% of neoclouds are seeking network engineers and security specialists to fill urgent competency gaps.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Accountability:<\/b> Certifications and service commitments for network uptime, security and data sovereignty need scrutiny; over a third of neoclouds minimize contractual liability.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Cloud on-ramps:<\/b> High-speed interconnection to clouds via public and private peering helps secure consistent performance; more than half of neoclouds do not use Internet peering exchanges.\n<\/li>\n
  4. IP assets:<\/b> IP address ownership supports rapid growth, traffic localization and routing control; 46% of neoclouds only control small IPv4 address blocks.\n<\/li>\n
  5. IP transit resilience:<\/b> One in five neoclouds relies on one IP transit provider, potentially creating a single point of failure.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nNeocloud networking capabilities vary from rudimentary to advanced, depending in part on their origins, which include bitcoin mining, content distribution, and web hosting.<\/p>\n

    \nOmdia found that neocloud networking strategy is in flux globally. Many are rushing to partner, buy or build infrastructure as their dependency on networking grows:<\/p>\n
