The Future of Resilient Switching: Zero-Downtime, Quantum Readiness, and Vulnerability Protection

Switching infrastructure is being reinvented to meet the demands of AI workloads, evolving threats, and the looming quantum era. In this Tech Field Day session, we explore how zero-downtime operations, quantum-resistant cryptography, and embedded vulnerability protection are transforming switches from passive forwarding devices into intelligent, self-defending platforms. Join us for a deep, no-hype look at […]

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 Secure Data Center Networking: Security Built Into the Fabric

See how Cisco is rethinking secure data center and AI networking by moving protection closer to critical traffic. This session shows how embedded enforcement, real-time mitigation, and unified operations across NetOps, SecOps and Platform teams can help reduce downtime, simplify architecture, improve visibility, and sustain high performance as AI workloads scale across enterprises and clouds. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. The company advocates for a holistic approach to AI storage architecture, moving beyond simply adding more bytes to existing boxes. This involves understanding the unique demands of AI workloads and designing specialized […]

The Anatomy of a Prompt with Solidigm

Solidigm presented on the anatomy of an AI prompt, emphasizing storage as a critical day-zero design decision for building AI inference infrastructure. Kapil Karkra demonstrated how a simple user prompt can undergo massive “token amplification,” transforming a small input into tens of thousands of tokens sent to a Large Language Model. This expansion occurs as […]

AI-Assisted Operations with Scality ADI

Scality presented its AI-Assisted Operations with Scality ADI, addressing the challenge of exponentially growing storage demands versus static operational teams. The company aims to bridge this gap with AI, not just as a dashboard, but as a new way of operating its platform. Scality’s solution, Guardian, observes the system and assists users in managing their […]

Introducing Scality ADI – Autonomous Data Infrastructure

Scality introduced its Autonomous Data Infrastructure, Scality ADI, at AI Field Day 8, positioning it as a necessary evolution beyond traditional storage models that are no longer adequate for the demands of artificial intelligence. Billy Cashwell, Director of Product Marketing, explained that past storage system designs failed to account for the operational scale and performance […]

How Do You Build a UI for an Exabyte-Scale Distributed Storage System with Scality

Scality CTO Giorgio Regni opened by addressing the complex challenge of managing exabyte-scale distributed storage systems, which involve thousands of drives, intricate networking, and microservices architecture. He recounted Scality’s twelve-year journey in UI and UX design, starting with early customers like internet service providers who, coming from traditional SAN environments, demanded extensive control and visibility. […]
