Data locality: AI models often rely on large datasets. Locating compute close to the data reduces transfer times and improves training performance. Latency sensitivity: Real-time AI applications, like recommendation systems or edge analytics, depend on low-latency environments. This can be more easily tuned in private or hybrid setups. Hardware specialization: Some AI workloads benefit from custom hardware like GPUs or TPUs. Private cloud allows more control over this, while public cloud offers broader access but less customization.

‎‎Subscribe. Fuel your curiosity. In this episode, we break down what we’ve learned from teams running AI at scale, and why on-premises infrastructure is making a strong comeback. We’re seeing a shift: performance, cost control, data sovereignty, and platform flexibility are driving conversations about on-prem strategies for AI. No one-size-fits-all answers, but if you’re building or scaling AI, this might help you think a few steps ahead.
