Cisco Doubles Up The Switch Bandwidth To Take On AI Scale Up And Scale Out

In the modern AI datacenter – really, a data galaxy at this point because AI processing needs have broken well beyond the bounds of a single datacenter or even multiple datacenters in a region in a few extreme cases – has two pinch points in the network.

Datacenter Spending Forecast Revised Upwards – Yet Again

This is turning into a “dog bites man” story, but the forecasts for spending in the datacenter for this year keep going up and up, and a few days ago Gartner’s economists and prognosticators finished up their tea and looked at the leaves at the common of a cup through a polished crystal ball and predicted that datacenter spending this year would go up.
