The networking landscape of 2026 is unrecognizable from the predictable cycles of the past decade. If your latest hardware refresh quote left you with a sense of sticker shock, you aren’t alone. Across the industry, the cost of physical infrastructure is surging, driven by a perfect storm of AI-driven component shortages, geopolitical friction, and a volatile tariff environment.
For IT leaders, the math no longer adds up. While budgets remain under intense scrutiny, the cost of the "boxes" required to run a modern business is climbing at an alarming rate.
