Delivering Resilient Connectivity For AI
Cisco News, Tuesday, March 25th, 2025
Cisco EVP and CPO Jeetu Patel recently shared how service providers and hyperscalers must rethink their architectures to deliver the future of global connectivity in the AI era.
As we head to the OFC conference next week, AI transformation will certainly be a hot topic, as it increasingly demands high-speed interconnects between data centers-and within data centers-that only fiber optics can provide.
AI is driving a massive surge in data center workloads, with IDC predicting that data generation will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.5% through 2027. Gartner expects that the use of generative AI models will influence over 90% of organizations to pursue hybrid cloud environments through 2027.
