Cisco AgenticOps Powered by Cloud Control

Cisco showcased AgenticOps powered by Cisco Cloud Control, a unified platform designed to serve as a single pane of glass for cross-domain telemetry and infrastructure operations. The architecture is anchored by a layer of trusted agents that operate within an agentic loop across five critical stages: sense, diagnose, remediate, validate, and deploy. The foundational sense […]

Cisco Securing AI Inferencing

Javed Asghar presented Cisco’s emerging strategy for securing AI inferencing workloads, expanding on architectural concepts originally disclosed at the NVIDIA GTC conference. While Cisco’s existing Smart Switches serve as an effective entry-level security option for frontend fabrics running lower-capacity systems, they face strict performance limitations when handling the massive 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps traffic […]

[…]

Cisco Isovalent Private Networks over EVPN/VXLAN

See how Cisco can bridge Nexus One data center fabrics and Kubernetes environments with a consistent operating model for visibility, policy, and security. This session shows how teams can reduce tool sprawl, speed troubleshooting, strengthen workload protection, and build AI-ready application infrastructure while bringing NetOps, platform, and security teams into shared workflows. Marcos Hernandez and […]

Cisco Secure Al Networking: From Fabric To Kubernetes to Operations

Vimala Veerappan, Senior Director in the Data Center Networking Business Group at Cisco, presented the company’s evolving data center networking strategy, which focuses on solving the challenges of infrastructure fragmentation, escalating operational complexity, and advanced security vulnerabilities brought on by distributed AI workloads. The core of Cisco’s AI networking strategy is threefold: addressing the operating […]

Scality presents at AI Infrastructure Field Day 5

Scality ADI, an autonomous data infrastructure for AI workload challenges As AI, cyber resilience, and sovereignty converge at the data layer, the siloed storage architectures most enterprises rely on were not designed for that convergence. At AI Infrastructure Field Day, Scality will discuss our recently announced Scality ADI, an autonomous data infrastructure that provides a new […]

Commvault presents at AI Infrastructure Field Day 5

Resilience for the AI Infrastructure Stack AI infrastructure introduces a new class of risk: interdependent data, models, identities, and pipelines can fail out of sync, leaving systems operational but no longer trustworthy. At the same time, a growing CIO/CISO disconnect is creating unclear ownership and slowing response when trust is lost. In this session, Commvault […]

SNIA presents at AI Infrastructure Field Day 5

SNIA StorageAI™ Technical Deep Dive – Open Standards Driving Efficient AI Infrastructure. In this comprehensive technical session, SNIA Board Chair J Metz, Ph.D., presents how the StorageAI Community is tackling the fundamental data-movement, benchmarking, physical design, and sustainability challenges unique to AI data requirements. From SDXI zero-copy semantics and Accelerator-Initiated I/O, to Object-over-RDMA direct-to-GPU paths, […]

Scaling Intelligence Through the Memory Hierarchy with Solidigm

Solidigm’s presentation at AI Field Day 8, led by Kapil Karkra, highlighted memory capacity as a critical, often overlooked, third axis for scaling AI intelligence, alongside model size and compute power. Solidigm introduced its “CRAFT” framework to define and measure AI intelligence across five dimensions: Comprehension, Recall, Adaptability, Fluency, and Tenacity. The core argument is […]

AI-Optimized SSD and Hardware Solutions with Solidigm

Solidigm emphasizes that storage is a foundational, day-zero consideration for successful AI infrastructure, likening it to the essential dough for a great pizza.
