Heard in 1 episode across 1 show since Aug 2026

Hardware inflation refers to the sustained increase in the market prices of physical information technology components, enterprise storage, and computer equipment. This economic trend is typically driven by supply chain disruptions, global semiconductor shortages, and the surging demand for specialized hardware like AI-optimized chips and high-performance data centers. It directly impacts corporate IT budgets, forcing organizations to extend device lifecycles or adopt software-defined alternatives to mitigate rising capital expenditures.
