Event Recap

Sydney Set the Agenda for
the AI Factory Era

Gartner IOCS 2026 brought infrastructure, operations and cloud leaders together in Sydney to examine what enterprise AI now requires.

Sharon AI took the main stage with The New Rules of AI Infrastructure, covering sovereign AI, validated GPU capacity and the infrastructure needed to move AI from pilot to production.

Event Wrap Up

Three Takeaways From Gartner IOCS

What two days with the region’s infrastructure and operations leaders told us about where enterprise AI is heading.

The AI Factory Is a New Category

Whether they have named it or not, enterprises are already building AI Factories. The question is whether they are built on rules someone else wrote or their own.

The Rules of Cloud Are Being Rewritten

Hyperscalers wrote the first rules of cloud. Sovereign infrastructure, validated GPU capacity and AI native architecture are rewriting them for the AI era.

Where Data Lives Now Decides

For critical industry AI the deciding questions have changed: where data lives, who owns it and whether capacity is confirmed before the workload arrives.
