Infrastructure is no longer just the foundation for enterprise IT. It is becoming the control layer that determines where AI runs, how workloads are optimized, and whether operations can scale securely and efficiently. As enterprises accelerate digital transformation, they must support AI-native workloads, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, edge computing, and real-time processing while managing rising costs, regulatory complexity, and sustainability requirements.

AI is becoming part of your everyday life more than you know. Your robot vacuum maps your home, and Eufy knows you left your dog’s water bowl out last night. Farmers use AI to optimize planting schedules for your Thanksgiving vegetables. The technology is a proven, trusted companion in mundane tasks, but robotaxis represent something fundamentally different. This is the first time AI demands we surrender control over life-and-death decisions at scale.

Enterprise blockchain is often declared dead after years of hype. With budgets tightening and leaders demanding clear ROI, justifying and securing investments has become increasingly complex.

For the Horizons report, HFS assessed 14 global service providers that are helping enterprises move into production using enterprise blockchain.
