Make Your Data Storage Infinite | Hammerspace
Hammerspace offers a data-management platform that decouples data from underlying infrastructure, creating a virtually infinite, location-agnostic storage layer across clouds and on-prem systems. The company aggregates metadata across the data estate to eliminate silos, speed pipelines and enable seamless use of existing storage while integrating newer, cheaper technologies. By presenting data as instantly accessible regardless of backend, Hammerspace enables enterprises to continue using legacy systems without locking themselves into specific infrastructure. The approach is positioned as especially important for handling the scale and distribution of data generated by AI workloads.
Why Generic AI Fails at Networking | Cisco Enterprise Networking
Cisco tested its proprietary deep networking model against generalist LLMs (GPT-5, Lambda/Gemma, GPTO OSS) on a 590-question MCQ benchmark and reported roughly a 20% performance advantage. The company credits that lead to training on its own networking data, yielding more...
Most Network Guys Aren't Ready For This | Cisco Data Center Networking
Cisco engineers warn that many enterprise network teams are unprepared for the unique demands of modern data-center traffic, particularly sustained, ultra-high-bandwidth flows between GPUs. Designing for these workloads requires precise spatial engineering of traffic, careful class-of-service configuration and detailed topology-aware...
The Hidden Problem With Cloud AI | Cisco Data Center Networking
Speakers argue that relying solely on rented cloud GPU resources is discouraging AI research because usage-based billing forces researchers to limit experimentation. They advocate for on-premises GPU infrastructure—capitalized once and reused over long lifecycles—to enable sustained exploration, hand down hardware...
