Transforming AI Infrastructure: The Role Of Networking In High-Performance Computing
SiliconANGLE, Friday, August 16th, 2024
AI infrastructure is rapidly transforming industries, especially in networking and data transfer.
Networking is an exciting and necessary part of building high-performance infrastructure for data transfer and machine learning training, with a shift toward on-premises infrastructure due to cost and data privacy concerns, according to Raj Yavatkar (pictured), chief technology officer of Juniper Networks Inc..
'It is an exciting place to be because everybody is building huge GPU clusters,' he said. 'All of those clusters need to be fed data from storage networks. Then once you have data in, you need to have data transferred between these GPUs. So, networking is needed no matter what - very high performance, a high throughput, low latency kind of network. That's being built. More exciting part is that a lot of the infrastructure is not just being built in hyperscalers, it's also being built by enterprises on-prem, which is a big shift in the market.'
