Persistent enterprise agents depend on physical and digital infrastructure: accelerators, memory, data-center power, network transit, identity services, observability and secure deployment environments.
Compute becomes persistent
Human-facing AI can be bursty. Autonomous workflows may run continuously, which changes the importance of capacity guarantees, network predictability and cost structure.
Power becomes a technology constraint
Large compute deployments increasingly depend on interconnection queues, grid capacity, cooling and site availability. Energy planning is becoming part of software strategy because compute cannot scale independently of electricity infrastructure.
Networks become execution infrastructure
Cross-region and cross-enterprise agents require reliable state exchange. Latency, route diversity, failure handling and identity become operational concerns rather than background networking details.
