How Insight and Intel DriveEndpoint, Data Center, andAI Modernization Gabe Knuth, Principal Analyst Abstract Security and Performance Are StillTop Priorities When Purchasing Endpoints Organizations are under pressure to modernize endpoints andinfrastructure, not just to support AI, but to improve security, control costs,and deliver better user experiences. Many are rethinking cloud strategiesand refreshing device fleets as part of these efforts, even as AI reshapesexpectations for performance and agility. Intel provides the innovation tomake this possible, and Insight brings the expertise to execute. Together,they offer a practical path to modernization that balances near-termpriorities with long-term business goals. While AI is top of mind, security (58%) andperformance (49%) rank much higher than AI (19%)in terms of priority features/capabilities whenpurchasing endpoints. Three Priorities Driving IT Strategy Today Modernization is accelerating, and while AI dominates the headlines,organizations remain focused on strengthening core IT capabilities. These oftentake shape in three areas: refreshing endpoints (improving end-userexperience and productivity), modernizing data center infrastructure, andenabling enterprise AI initiatives. On the endpoint side, hybrid work and the rise of AI are reshaping expectationsfor security, responsiveness, and manageability. A new generation of AI PCsaddresses these needs by delivering performance and efficiency, along withnew components designed for processing AI-based workloads. While this newAI hardware is part of the appeal, security (58%) and performance (49%) stillrank higher than AI acceleration (19%) as purchasing criteria.1 In the data center, cloud cost unpredictability and AI-driven workloadsare prompting a rebalancing of hybrid strategies. Eighty-four percent oforganizations identify data center modernization as a top priority, and 76%report revisiting hybrid strategies due to rising cloud expenses.2 1Source: Enterprise Strategy Group Complete Survey Results, AI at the Endpoint: Tracking the Impact of AI on End Users and Endpoints, April 2025.2Source: Enterprise Strategy Group Research Report, Private AI, Virtualization, and Cloud, July 2025. How Insight and Intel Drive Endpoint,Data Center, and AI Modernization Interest in enterprise AI is also accelerating. Ninety-two percent oforganizations are exploring on-premises AI options, with many citingimproved control, compliance, and cost management as reasons behindthis decision.3Achieving this demands a flexible infrastructure that cansupport compute-intensive workloads while remaining adaptable for futurerequirements. Modernization, ultimately, is not about trend-chasing — it is about meetinglong-standing goals such as stronger security, greater efficiency, andthe agility to support what comes next. Success requires both the righttechnology and the expertise to put it to work. Insight and Intel: IT’s Modernization Partners While technology is an important part of modernization, all the technologyin the world won’t help without a complete understanding of how to best putit to use. Addressing the challenges outlined above — enhancing endpointcapabilities, rebalancing infrastructure, and preparing for enterprise AI —require a combination of technology, innovation, and the expertise neededto build and implement a strategy. Insight and Intel deliver this together,providing organizations with both the platforms and services to modernize atscale while staying aligned to business outcomes. Insight and Intel work together to address these priorities — Intel throughadvanced technology platforms and Insight through the services andprograms that bring the platforms to life. AI PC Enablement On-premises AI Interest IsNearly Universal The PC remains the most visible part of the user experience, and its impacton performance and productivity has never been greater. Intel®Core™ Ultraprocessors bring a new class of capability to endpoints by combining CPU,GPU, and NPU resources for AI acceleration, alongside improvements inperformance, security, and power efficiency. These systems enable emergingAI features like local inferencing for productivity applications and advancedcollaboration tools — all while delivering higher baseline performance,extended battery life, and hardware-level security. This means an endpointrefresh benefits every user, not just those running AI tools, and positionsorganizations to better meet their goals around end-user experience,productivity, and security. 92% of organizations are exploring on-premisesAI options, with many citing control, compliance,and cost as reasons behind this decision. Insight extends these capabilities with solutions that simplify deploymentand lifecycle management. Programs such as Flex for Device, Insight’sdevice-as-a-service offering, enable organizations to refresh fleets withoutsignificant capital expense, aligning upgrades with predictable costs. Intel®vPro
