AI model training depends on dedicated networking architectures designed for different performance requirements. In this video, Spencer Giacalone, Senior Director of Cloud and AI Architecture, explains the roles of scale-up and scale-out networks, why both are essential for AI infrastructure, and how technologies such as NVLink, RoCEv2, and emerging standards enable efficient, high-performance AI networks. He also discusses how Ciena’s Nitro and Vesta products support next-generation XPU connectivity.
WatchKarina Dahlke sits down with Gabriele Di Piazza and Erik McLaughlin to explore what it really takes to reach “level five” autonomous networking. They break down what autonomous networks mean in practice – self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, and ultimately zero-touch operations – and why the conversation has accelerated again in the last few years with the rise of AI.
