AI and ML Networking: bridging the gap between performance and economy
Description
In this episode, we’re exploring the backbone of AI – network fabrics. The network fabric is the backbone of the data centre - keeping everything together between the storage, compute, and users. It’s much more than patch cables, it’s a finely balanced, interconnected process ecosystem.
With the advent of AI, the demands on those network fabrics are changing, putting pressure on our compute resources, as well as on our energy usage. So what can be done, and can AI help optimize itself? To find out more, we’re joined by Puneet Sharma, director of Hewlett Packard Labs' Networking and Distributed Systems Lab.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
