This is a presentation from Deepak Bansal, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, originally given at Keysight's AI Data Center Summit.

 

AI applications are demanding much higher scale, performance, and security from the data center network. These applications are bandwidth hungry and need to read / write large amounts of data from storage. They rely on GPUs that may be geographically distributed, including third-party GPUs in remote data centers. Connectivity must be secured so that there is no risk of data leakage. In this presentation, you'll learn how interconnect fabrics and SDN stacks in the cloud are evolving to meet these needs of AI workloads.
