After years of cloud migration and hybrid adoption, organizations are shifting their focus from deciding whether to use cloud, colocation or on-premises infrastructure to determining which workloads belong in each environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignl\">\nAs workloads become more distributed and AI drives greater infrastructure demands, enterprises are taking a more deliberate approach to workload placement, making decisions based on performance, security, data control and connectivity requirements rather than cost alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignl\">\n\u201cAn organization\u2019s success will be determined by its ability to deploy hybrid workloads at scale, and by future-proofing with higher power densities and faster connectivity,\u201d said Juan Font, President and CEO of CoreSite and SVP of American Tower. \u201cThe future belongs to organizations that align the right infrastructure with the right workloads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignl\">\nHigh-level insights and key data points from this year\u2019s report include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Workload Placement Is Becoming More Intentional:<\/span><\/b> Across roughly two dozen workload categories, enterprises are actively rebalancing where applications run. The research shows increased cloud deployment of chatbots, mobile apps, websites, content delivery and AI-based recommender systems, while colocation is gaining share in workloads such as web applications, HR systems and cybersecurity\u2014signaling a more precise, workload-by-workload optimization approach rather than broad migration strategies.\n<\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"bwuline\">CIOs Are Choosing Colocation for AI Production Workloads:<\/span><\/b> Nearly 70% of CIOs now favor colocation and hybrid environments for AI\/ML production workloads such as chatbots, virtual assistants and web hosting. This marks one of the clearest signals yet that AI production infrastructure is migrating to highly connected, power-dense environments.\n<\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Cloud Connectivity Is Now a Core Requirement for Colocation Providers:<\/span><\/b> Nearly eight in 10 respondents rate native, direct connectivity to major cloud providers as \u2018very important\u2019 for colocation providers \u2014 the highest level of urgency recorded in the last five years, showing that seamless public cloud interconnection has become a foundation for modern hybrid IT architectures.\n<\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Cost Is No Longer the Primary Driver:<\/span><\/b> While cost remains a factor, uptime, security and performance have overtaken cost as the primary drivers of workload placement decisions, particularly for AI and high-density compute workloads, marking a shift from cost-optimized infrastructure planning to resilience- and performance-driven architecture decisions.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"bwalignl\">\nAs hybrid environments become more complex, seamless integration and direct, low-latency connectivity across cloud, colocation and on-prem systems have become essential. Security and data control remain foundational drivers of workload placement decisions, particularly for sensitive and regulated workloads. As a result, colocation is evolving beyond a hosting environment and increasingly serving as an orchestration point that enables performance, security and ecosystem connectivity across distributed enterprise environments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignl\">\n\u201cThe State of the Data Center findings reinforce broader trends we&#8217;re seeing across the industry: hybrid IT is now the standard operating model for enterprises,\u201d said John Gallant, Enterprise Consulting Director at CIO. \u201cWhat stands out in this year&#8217;s research is that enterprises have moved beyond hybrid adoption and the ones preparing for the future are now focused on optimizing workload placement across cloud, colocation and on-premises environments based on performance, security and control requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignl\">\nThe <i>2026 State of the Data Center Report<\/i> is based on a quantitative survey of more than 300 CIOs, CTOs and other IT decision-makers representing a variety of industry sectors, plus in-depth interviews with seven senior technology executives from financial services, healthcare, retail and SaaS organizations.
