Networking: The AI-Driven Shift to High-Speed Interconnections and Sustainable Bandwidth

Enterprise networking is the transport system for advanced technologies on-premises and in the cloud. The landscape of data  center networking has shifted in the past few years to focus less on cloud computing and direct Internet access, and now is  primarily focused on providing high-speed interconnections for AI workloads. Bandwidth is increasing rapidly as AI models  evolve and require more and more resources to execute in a reasonable amount of time. Innovation in the market must  also embrace sustainability to ensure that development doesn’t outpace the ability of modern data center infrastructure to  provide power and cooling. 

When working on strategy, product, marketing, and sales initiatives, consider intelligence from our expert analysts – planned deliverables for 2026 include:
