AI workloads must execute where data is created-whether in factory machines, on retail shelves, across a power grid, or across service-provider networks. And therein lies potential value and innovative new use cases. For example, through the Cisco Secure AI Grid powered by NVIDIA, service providers can transform the telecom edge into an AI factory. This […]
As AI workloads shift from experimental to mission-critical, unexpected challenges test the assumptions underlying our networks, storage architectures, and security models. After nearly two decades of observing infrastructure evolution, I believe this moment is fundamentally different. We are not optimizing existing paradigms; we are rebuilding them. The bandwidth wall and the rise of co-packaged optics Modern AI training clusters require significant bandwidth. Training advanced models may involve tens or hundreds […]
