The next frontier of AI is coming into focus as agents take on longer, more strategic work. They can write and validate code, coordinate across systems, rebalance inventory as conditions change, manage production operations, or carry a migration from plan to completion.

AI is no longer supporting one step; it is executing and reshaping the process itself. New models help drive this change by expanding what AI can reason about, create, and accomplish. But the combination of advances in models and infrastructure is key to moving agents from isolated tasks to sustained, high-impact work.

Realizing that potential requires silicon, compute, storage, and networking to work together so workloads run faster and more reliably at scale. Agents Are a Different Kind of Workload Cloud infrastructure has evolved before to support new kinds of applications. …
