As the explosive rise of AI workloads brings massive GPU clusters back to on-premises environments and surging neo-clouds, the race to maximize hardware utilization has made multi-tenancy an absolute necessity. In this episode of the Tech Field Day Spotlight Podcast, host Tom Hollingsworth sits down with networking experts Scott Robohn, Ed Weadon, and Netris CEO and Cofounder Alex Saroyan to dissect the hidden complexities of modern AI infrastructure. Managing thousands of GPUs means navigating dense networking architectures like quad-planes, massive power restrictions, and the intricate blending of Ethernet and InfiniBand environments. Alex reveals how Netris solves these scaling bottlenecks from Day 0 using digital twin simulations and automated network abstraction, allowing operators to dynamically isolate cluster resources for different tenants through simple, unified API calls.
