As per the Enterprise AI Survey conducted by Digitate in collaboration with Sapio Research revealed that IT operations have emerged as the primary proving ground for artificial intelligence in the enterprise. With 78% of organizations already deploying AI in IT, 65% identifying ITOps as the biggest AI beneficiary, and adoption outpacing every other function, IT leads enterprise AI maturity.

Right now, 48% of organizations say they’re being asked to measure or report on AI-related costs. The problem is that they’re still figuring out how to do it. That was a very telling stat from a recent CloudZero webinar on AI and profitability, and speaks loudly to the reality that many organizations are still struggling to get a grasp on AI spend which our data shows to be rising sharply as a part of total spend in recent months.

In 2025, Oracle shocked the market. Its cloud growth was so aggressive that Oracle’s stock surged, briefly making founder Larry Ellison the world’s richest person. That didn’t happen by accident. Oracle closed fiscal 2025 with $57.4 billion in revenue, mainly driven by cloud services. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) grew roughly 50% year over year, driven by enterprise databases, AI workloads, and network-intensive applications migrating from more expensive platforms.

Megaport On-ramp as a Service is the fastest way for service providers to offer secure, private connectivity to mission-critical applications, and it’s now available. Considered the gold standard, private connectivity is the superior way to reach enterprise applications, storage services, or security services. But for most service providers, offering a private on-ramp for customers to connect to isn’t straightforward.

While traditional cloud storage is the normal method people use to store, share, sync, and back up their files online, there are many other options available to consider, especially if you want quick access to large amounts of data. For this, many teams consider checking an object storage vendor list to choose the right service to meet this need. Object storage is a cloud storage architecture designed to handle large amounts of unstructured data.

There usually isn’t a hard and fast rule about who should be on-call. Teams often look for criteria like seniority, experience, or expertise. While those factors certainly help, they might matter less than you think. It is often more useful to look at whether your processes are ready. When incident responses rely on memory and intuition rather than documentation, even experienced engineers can struggle. They might handle things through internal knowledge that isn’t available to everyone else.

An on-call responder is the first line of defence when something breaks. They assess the situation and take appropriate action. This guide walks you through what that actually looks like. You’ll see how on-call responders think through an incident and figure out what needs to be done.
