Building an AI-Ready Campus Network: A Deep Dive into SONiC’s Foundational Automation and Security – Celestica Triple-T
As enterprise networks face the demands of AI/ML workloads, traditional, rigid architectures are becoming obsolete. This session demonstrates how SONiC, paired with open networking hardware, provides the essential foundation for a modern, AI-ready campus network.
We will discuss SONiC’s modular, Linux-based architecture and its ability to integrate core campus functions like Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), laying the groundwork for intelligent automation.
This Triple-T session is designed for network architects and IT leaders who want to move beyond proprietary solutions and build a secure, agile network infrastructure that is fundamentally prepared for the age of AI.
