SkyLab Featured in IBTimes: "Building the Infrastructure That Makes Enterprise AI Work"

SkyLab has been featured in IBTimes, in a piece titled "SkyLab Is Building the Infrastructure That Makes Enterprise AI Work." The article profiles SkyLab's role as a platform-led, integrated AI infrastructure solutions partner, and how its FusionFlow and COSAP platforms give enterprises and service providers a single accountable path from AI strategy to live, governed, scaled operations.

"AI becomes useful to an enterprise only when the entire environment around it works. That means bringing together compute, cloud, networks, data, applications, security, governance and operations. Our role is to make those different layers function as one coherent system." - Dr. Stephen Ho, Group CEO, SkyLab

Industry Context: Spending Alone Doesn't Create AI Readiness

The IBTimes feature places SkyLab's story within a reality that enterprise leaders are confronting head-on. According to Gartner's May 2026 forecast, global AI spending is projected to reach US$2.59 trillion in 2026, a 47% increase year-over-year, with AI infrastructure accounting for more than 45% of that total. IDC, tracking AI infrastructure hardware separately, forecasts that segment alone will hit US$487 billion in the same period, up 53%.

The core problem: the majority of that spending has yet to translate into genuine operational capability. Gartner notes that only 17% of organisations have deployed AI agents, even as more than 60% say they plan to do so within two years. The gap between budget and real-world outcomes is precisely the problem IBTimes puts at the centre of its SkyLab feature.

As Dr. Ho states in the piece, the harder task isn't acquiring compute. It's turning that capacity into capability the business can actually rely on.

What the IBTimes Feature Highlights

The IBTimes piece focuses on three core dimensions of SkyLab's approach:

• FusionFlow orchestrates cloud, edge, GPU, data centre and enterprise resources through a unified control plane, eliminating the infrastructure fragmentation that remains the single biggest barrier to enterprise-scale AI deployment.

• COSAP extends that visibility into day-to-day operations across business functions, creating end-to-end observability from infrastructure layer to business outcome.

• SkyLab's global ecosystem spans more than 40,000 compute and GPU servers across approximately 200 data centres in over 20 countries, providing the coverage and redundancy that enterprise-grade deployments demand.

  
  

Together, FusionFlow and COSAP form what IBTimes describes as a single accountable path from AI strategy to governed, scalable operations. Where most infrastructure vendors hand off at the hardware layer, SkyLab's platform-led model keeps accountability intact across the entire stack.

Key insight: The distinction isn't scale of infrastructure. It's whether the infrastructure is integrated enough to be governed, and governed well enough to be trusted at the operational level.
