A New AI Operating System with Cisco's Jeetu Patel and WWT's Jim Kavanaugh
In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT Co-founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh and Cisco President Jeetu Patel break down the real constraints shaping the AI era and explore why platforms will define the next decade of enterprise innovation. They'll also talk about how secure, scalable architectures enable organizations to innovate confidently and compete at AI speed.
AI at Scale: How Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT Are Powering the Future of Enterprise AI
As AI moves from predictive analytics to real-time autonomous decision-making, enterprises face a critical challenge: scaling AI securely and efficiently. This episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast explores key takeaways from NVIDIA GTC, the evolving Cisco-NVIDIA partnership and the foundational role AI infrastructure plays in unlocking enterprise-scale AI. Featuring WWT VP of Networking and AI Solutions Neil Anderson, NVIDIA SVP of Networking Kevin Deierling and Cisco SVP of Networking Kevin Wollenweber, the episode covers insights into networking, security, and compute innovations, and how Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT are shaping the future of AI-powered businesses.
Is Security Now a Prerequisite for AI Adoption? Inside Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA
As companies move from chatbots to agents, the hardest work isn't prompting — it's building an always-on, governable, cost-aware system that leaders can trust. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Cisco's President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel, NVIDIA's Vice President, Americas Partner Organization Craig Weinstein and WWT CTO Mike Taylor discuss how Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA is designed to close the gap between experimentation and execution by treating AI as infrastructure.
Why the AI Factory Is Becoming the Enterprise's Next Critical Infrastructure
As organizations struggle to move beyond AI pilots, a new architecture — Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA — is emerging as a missing link between experimentation and real business outcomes. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Neil Anderson, Cisco's Kevin Wollenweber and NVIDIA's Chris Marriott discuss how the Secure AI Factory represents a shift from bolt-on protection to security built into the architecture itself.
Why Production AI Exposes Security Gaps Organizations Can't Ignore
As enterprises move AI from experimentation to production, security failures are no longer isolated incidents—they are systemic risks embedded deep in infrastructure, data flows, and decision-making systems. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Istvan Berko, Cisco's DJ Sampath and NVIDIA's Ofir Arkin discuss why as AI becomes core infrastructure, security becomes the mechanism that determines whether that infrastructure scales or undermines itself.
The Network Is Becoming the Real Unit of AI Performance
As AI systems grow larger and more distributed, enterprises are discovering that performance, security and time-to-value depend less on individual components and more on how well the system moves, synchronizes and protects data at scale. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Justin van Schaik, Cisco's Dave Jansen and NVIDIA's Taylor Allison talk about how a well-designed network fabric extends time to value and decreases risk for AI initiatives.
The Shift from AI Pilots to AI Infrastructure
As organizations move beyond experimentation, compute has become a deciding factor in whether AI delivers real value or stalls before production. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT VP Neil Anderson, NVIDIA VP Chris Marriott and Cisco VP Daniel McGinniss talk about how organizations are rethinking where AI runs, how it's secured and how value is measured.
Why Observability Has Become the Control Plane for Enterprise AI
As enterprises rush to deploy AI, observability is emerging as the discipline that determines whether those investments create durable value—or quietly erode it. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Ivan Wintersteiger, Cisco Splunk's Tapan Shah and NVIDIA's Shashank Sabhlok discuss why observability, when treated as foundational, becomes the connective tissue between infrastructure, applications, security and user experience.
Cisco labs in the ATC
Cisco SD-Access Fabric with Catalyst Center (3.2.3) Lab
Cisco Catalyst Center takes a software-delivered approach to automating and assuring services across your campus, WAN, and branch networks. Based on an open and extensible platform, Catalyst Center allows you to build value on the network, so you can streamline operations and facilitate IT and business innovation. This lab closely matches the Cisco SD-Access Foundation lab.
AI-Driven Network Operations with Catalyst Center and MCP
This lab gives you hands-on experience using an AI assistant to query and troubleshoot a pre-configured Cisco SD-Access fabric in natural language. You'll see how MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool calls connect the assistant to Catalyst Center and live devices. You'll then use it to assess the impact of a planned interface outage, verifying every answer against tool evidence rather than trusting the assistant's confidence.
NVIDIA Data Flywheel + Cisco Secure AI Factory
In this lab you will explore an NVIDIA Data Flywheel running on Cisco Secure AI Factory hardware with NVIDIA in WWT's AI Proving Ground. Built on the NVIDIA NeMo microservices platform, the flywheel automatically turns production traffic into evaluation and fine-tuning datasets, LoRA fine-tunes candidate models with NeMo Customizer, scores them against the incumbent with NeMo Evaluator, and deploys the winner as an NVIDIA NIM. Using a clinical coding application as the example workload, you will watch a 1-billion-parameter model close the accuracy gap on a 70-billion-parameter model at a fraction of the inference cost.
Duo Security
The Duo Security lab is the place to learn all about Duo, the cloud-based multi-factor authentication and identity access management solution from Cisco. You will get hands on with Duo and try out exciting features like Passport, Cisco Identity Intelligence and Routing Rules.
