Modern IT is at a breaking point, and that’s not a bad thing. As AI sweeps across every industry, organizations are being forced to face what they’ve been avoiding for years: legacy systems that are holding them back. In this episode of Edge of IT, host Jonathan Gough chats with Stu Miniman, Senior Director of Market Insights, Hybrid Platforms at Red Hat and Andrew Tenaglia VP, Application Modernization at Pellera. Together, they discuss the future of modern platforms, the massive cost (and payoff) of AI implementation, and why breaking free from technical debt is non-negotiable. From decoding the economics of GPUs to tackling the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset, this conversation is a reality check and a playbook for IT leaders who are ready to shift from survival mode to smart innovation.
