Revolutionizing Networking for AI workloads
 |
 |
Description:
The emergence of generative AI applications marks a new era for AI. Industry pioneers have compared it to the "iPhone moment of AI”. AI is not a new trend but the latest developments in the field and early results of emerging ground-breaking generative AI applications such as “ChatGPT” are potentially market disruptors. Just as Bill Gates said, we believe that the age of AI has just begun and that the new era of AI will be as revolutionary as mobile phones and the Internet. The challenge, however, is that the characteristics of AI traffic are pretty unique and quite distinct from the rest of the traffic carried by today’s data center network. AI workloads require scalable, lossless, low-latency fabric. This webinar will explore different network fabric options and network design approaches to meet these new AI driven requirements and discuss the size of the potential market opportunity for AI-tuned DC networks.
During the webinar, you'll learn:
- AI workloads characteristics
- Network requirements of AI workloads
- The various options of network designs and topologies to support AI workloads
- AI-tuned DC Networks - How big is the market opportunity?
Who Should Attend?
Switch System Vendors, Silicon Vendors, Optical Transceiver vendors, Colocation Facilities providers, Cloud and Telecom Service Providers, IT buyers and Decision Makers, and Enterprise CIO and CTO
