The Impact of Adopting GenAI on Existing Network Capacities, Topologies, and Resiliency: Proactive Steps for Network Practitioners
As enterprises increasingly integrate Generative AI (GenAI) into their operations, network capacities and topologies face unprecedented demands while resiliency becomes critical to sustaining operations. This panel discussion will explore the profound impacts of GenAI on network infrastructures, emphasizing the intersection of capacity planning, topology design, and AI-enhanced resiliency. Expert panelists will discuss strategies for addressing data traffic, processing power, and latency challenges, while incorporating AI-driven solutions to fortify networks against failures and security threats. Key topics will include understanding bandwidth and processing requirements, identifying bottlenecks, scaling infrastructure, leveraging edge computing for decentralized efficiency, and ensuring robust network security and resiliency. Participants will leave with actionable insights and best practices for future-proofing network infrastructures to meet the demands of GenAI while achieving sustainable, resilient operations.
