Cloud AI has been the default for enterprise AI for years. As edge AI becomes more capable, the conversation is shifting — and understanding what cloud AI does well and where it falls short matters more than it used to.

Where cloud AI is strong:
- Access to virtually unlimited compute for demanding workloads

- Lower barrier to entry — no specialized hardware required upfront

- Centralized management makes updates straightforward

- Well-suited for model training and large-scale analytics

Where cloud AI falls short:
- Latency affects real-time applications

- Fully dependent on network connectivity

- Data leaves the device, creating compliance complexity

- Inference costs compound quickly at scale

For most organizations, cloud AI will continue to play a critical role. But that role is increasingly shaped by what edge AI now makes possible — and the device decisions that follow.

Edge AI brings real advantages — and real tradeoffs.

The advantages:
Real-time processing with no latency from network round trips
Works regardless of connectivity
Sensitive data stays on the device
Reduces cloud compute costs for continuously running workloads

The tradeoffs:
Performance is constrained by device hardware
Higher upfront device investment
Fleet management is more complex
Devices need to be refreshed as workload requirements evolve

For IT leaders, understanding both sides is what makes it possible to match the right approach to the right workload — and to plan device programs around it.

There is a meaningful difference between AI that runs in the cloud and AI that runs on the device.

Cloud AI is capable and scalable. But it depends on connectivity, introduces latency, and requires data to leave the endpoint.

Edge AI runs locally — in real time, regardless of network conditions, without transmitting data externally. For workloads where any of those characteristics matter, on-device processing is not just preferable. It is often the only approach that works consistently.

Understanding the distinction is increasingly important for IT leaders making device decisions. Our latest article goes deeper.

The core distinction between edge AI and cloud AI is simple: where data processing actually happens.

Edge AI processes data locally, on the device — in real time, without depending on a network connection. Cloud AI sends data to a remote server, processes it there, and returns the result.

That single distinction drives everything else — latency, connectivity, data privacy, compute capacity, cost, and management complexity. And each has direct implications for enterprise device strategy.

Edge AI and cloud AI handle the same task — running AI workloads — in fundamentally different ways. One processes data locally, on the device, in real time. The other sends it to a remote server and waits for a response.

That single difference shapes latency, reliability, privacy, cost, and how organizations need to manage the devices in their fleet.

Our latest article covers the full comparison and what it means for enterprise device strategy.

AI PCs are not just faster laptops. They are part of a broader shift in how enterprise AI gets delivered. And that shift has implications for device strategy that go well beyond performance specs.

Hardware selection, endpoint management, workload distribution, governance, lifecycle planning — the edge vs. cloud AI decision touches all of it.

Our latest article is a practical read for IT leaders working through what this shift means for their device programs.

Welcome to the era of Edge AI — where the devices your workforce uses every day are becoming part of your AI infrastructure.

That shift raises a question more IT leaders are grappling with: which AI workloads should run on the device, and which belong in the cloud?

Our latest article covers the differences between edge and cloud AI, the pros and cons of each, and a practical six-factor framework for deciding where enterprise AI workloads should run.

The choice between edge AI and cloud AI is not just an architecture decision. It affects which devices you buy, how you manage them, how long they remain capable of supporting your AI tools, and how you govern AI processing across your fleet.

Our latest article is a practical look at how IT leaders should think through that decision — and what it means for enterprise device strategy.

Enterprise AI strategy used to be a cloud decision. Today it is more nuanced than that.

As AI processing moves closer to the device, IT leaders are increasingly responsible for deciding which workloads run locally, which belong in the cloud, and how those choices connect to the devices they manage.

Our latest article breaks down both approaches and gives IT leaders a practical framework for making that call.
