Why GPU Shortages Are Forcing Infrastructure Fragmentation

The rapid expansion of agentic AI is driving demand for efficient inference workloads across enterprises. However, GPU shortages and fragmented infrastructure have forced organizations to split their compute footprint across private data centers, hyperscalers, and neoclouds to find available capacity2
