Looking Ahead

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As the industry moves beyond standard generative AI toward Agentic AI—where autonomous agents execute complex, multi-step workflows—the demand for continuous, high-speed data movement increases. Our high-bandwidth, low-latency fabrics provide the lossless, single-hop communication required to keep Agentic AI systems synchronized and running without bottlenecking the CPU.

Yes. Trillion-parameter models require strictly lossless, high-bandwidth East-West fabrics to synchronize gradients across thousands of GPUs. Our 400G and 800G platforms deliver the non-blocking throughput, deep buffering, and in-network computing capabilities (such as NVIDIA SHARP) required to minimize tail latency and keep GPU clusters fully utilized.

Choose platforms that support multi-rate connectivity (100/200/400/800G) with breakout capability for phased migration. Open networking with Enterprise SONiC or ONIE ensures you are never locked into a single vendor's roadmap, while SmartFabric Manager provides lifecycle automation as your fabric evolves.
