Survey Sees Rise of AI Workloads Driving More Private Cloud Adoption
Techstrong IT, Tuesday, June 9th, 2026
A Broadcom survey finds AI workloads are increasingly being deployed in private clouds over public clouds.
A Broadcom survey of 1,800 senior IT leaders shows a shift toward private cloud infrastructure, with 56% deploying AI workloads there versus 41% in public clouds. Nearly three-quarters plan to increase private cloud spending over the next three years, and half have already repatriated workloads from public to private environments.
Security, compliance, and data residency concerns drive placement decisions, while IT teams face skills gaps in AI infrastructure, cloud security, and Kubernetes. Despite this, organizations report widespread public cloud waste, with more than half believing inefficiency exceeds 25%.
