Cisco Unveils Unified Edge Platform for Agentic AI Workloads
📅 - By supplying the fundamental infrastructure required to handle both traditional and AI workloads, this is essential to bringing the AI vision to life.
Cisco claims that infrastructure limitations are causing more than half of today's AI pilots to stop, underscoring the urgent need for a new decentralized network design. 75% of enterprise data is expected to be generated and processed this year, making the edge the next frontier of artificial intelligence. Traditional data centers find it difficult to meet the demands of AI as workloads accelerate from centralized model training to real-time inference. With agentic AI inquiries producing up to 25 times as much network traffic as a [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
