Three Forces Reshaping Enterprise Storage Right Now
Dell, Friday, April 17th, 2026
Enterprise storage strategy is shifting as private cloud architectures become more flexible.
Dell Technologies SVP Travis Vigil examines how enterprise storage is evolving as organizations adopt disaggregated architectures, confront unstructured data challenges in generative AI pipelines, elevate cyber resilience to a business metric and transition toward agentic AI-driven infrastructure operations.
This analysis explores three enterprise storage predictions shaping modern IT: renewed adoption of disaggregated storage and compute, data pipelining as a primary generative AI constraint, cyber resilience moving back to the boardroom and AI-driven operations replacing siloed infrastructure specialties.
Enterprise storage strategy is shifting as private cloud architectures become more flexible, on-premises generative AI exposes data pipeline gaps, cyber recovery becomes a core business KPI and AI-enabled operations platforms reduce dependence on specialized infrastructure roles.
