Where Should Enterprise AI Agents Run? Cloud, On-Prem, Edge or Hybrid
DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-10-20
As enterprises move from AI experiments to production agentic AI, one decision becomes unavoidable: where agents actually run — cloud, on-prem, at the edge, or hybrid. The author covers this in a Dell-sponsored video that was kept educational rather than a sales pitch.
Key argument: agentic AI changes the infrastructure conversation. Agents are not single-prompt chatbots — they access internal systems, call tools, trigger workflows, query sensitive data, and can generate many model interactions per business request. So placement must be decided on architecture, economics, governance, and operational reality, not hype.
