Summary

The meteoric growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been rewriting the rules and best practices in every facet of data center networking, including those specific to structured cabling. The data center industry is racing to keep up with the demands and the intricacies of AI factories. But what about all the other networks around the world—those that might not house a million meters of optical fiber, but that organizations rely on nonetheless to keep business operations running and optimized? Do administrators of enterprise networks need to be prepared for their clients’ adoption of AI or associated technologies? And if so, how?  

Those are the issues we’ll tackle in this webinar, hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance and delivered by experts from CommScope. First Ken Hall, CommScope’s solutions architect for cloud-scale data centers, provides an overview of how AI data centers have caused seismic shifts in fiber-optic cabling. From extreme high speeds to unprecedented densities, the AI factory is home to the foremost advances in optical communications. Then Brent Shelton, infrastructure systems engineer with CommScope, broadens the conversation to include practical impacts on the enterprise network. For organizations preparing to adopt AI as a business tool, what network capabilities are required? Are any cabling technologies originally developed for the world’ most-demanding data centers now migrating to enterprise-class networks? If so, how are these technologies enhancing enterprise networks’ capabilities? And how are they setting these facilities up to successfully support applications that are on the horizon?  

Join us for this in-depth session that puts a metaphorical lasso around the AI phenomenon, and ropes it in to closely examine the practical implications for networks of all shapes and sizes.
