In today’s infrastructure landscape, “cloud-first” doesn’t mean “cloud-only.” In this Hitchhiker’s Guide to IT soundbite, Pete Sacco, Founder and President of Inspirica IT Solutions, challenges a common misconception: that everything must move to the cloud. While many organizations have exited traditional data centers, roughly 30% of enterprises still maintain some form of on-site compute—and that number isn’t going away.

Sacco explains that certain critical workloads simply perform better or require on-prem environments. That’s where hybrid strategies and edge data centers come into play. His work with Intuva, a division of PTS Data Center Solutions, focuses on supporting these edge environments—providing full-stack coverage from IT to power and cooling systems.

In a world driven by flexibility, Sacco reminds IT leaders that a modern infrastructure strategy must include both cloud and on-prem realities.
