Imagine walking into the office, grabbing your morning coffee, and realizing your network dashboard is perfectly green because an AI agent silently resolved every issue while you slept. In this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast, host Tom Hollingsworth sits down with network practitioners Keith Parsons and Mark Houtz, alongside HPE’s Sunalini Sankhavaram, to explore the paradigm shift from reactive, AI-driven troubleshooting to proactive, self-driving networks. They discuss the critical issue of trust in automation, detailing how HPE’s Marvus progresses from “driver-assist” recommendations to fully autonomous remediation. From preventing broadcast storms in hospitals to lightening the load for budget-constrained IT teams, discover how agentic AI and digital twins are reshaping the future of enterprise operations without taking away the essential human in the loop. This and more on the Tech Field Day Podcast presented by HPE.
