Summary

Rewiring the Future: Conversations on Networking for an AI-Driven World
The adoption of generative AI-based tools is exploding in our personal lives and across many business sectors. It can be used to help us think, learn, do, solve, create and enjoy, having applications in our personal lives and across industries like technology, healthcare, banking, manufacturing, ecommerce, education, legal services, and more. However, to create and deliver these services, a change is needed in data processing and delivery. At the core of this change, is the way data centers are being redesigned including supporting new levels of power and cooling required for this massive increase of compute.

One essential aspect of the success of GenAI, is how the network needs to evolve to deliver these services to the end user. Please join Rodney Dellinger, CTO of Webscale, Nokia, Dr Thomas King, CTO of DE-CIX, and Alan Weckel, co-founder and principal analyst of 650 group, as they discuss what’s needed for the evolution of the network:
 

Topics covered

GenAI use cases and how its related traffic will impact the network moving forward?

Why is network reliability more important than ever?
