Taylor and Don talk about specific solutions that can make an impact and how IT leaders can begin to incorporate them without skipping a beat.

As enterprises race to harness the transformative power of AI, the data centers that power these mission-critical workloads are facing unprecedented demands. From increasing power and cooling requirements to the need for lightning-fast deployment and optimization, the traditional approaches to data center design and management are no longer sufficient. In this exclusive Partner Spotlight, WWT Senior Director of AI Mike Trojecki talks with Head of Business Development, NVIDIA Energy, Ahsan Yousufzai, and Schneider Electric's Vice President of Solution Architects, Joe Reele, about how you can position your data center as a key enabler of AI.

AI adoption, digital transformation efforts and macroeconomic conditions are putting more pressure on IT leaders to simplify to more efficiently support their business. Key to that effort will be tightly integrated and intelligent solutions that create a unified experience that drive action. Join Vikas Butaney, SVP and GM of Cisco Cloud, SD-WAN, and Industrial IoT Connectivity, and Raj Chopra, SVP and Chief Product Officer for Cisco's Security Business Group, as they discuss the convergence of networking and security in today's IT landscape. The two talk with WWT experts Chris Konrad and Neil Anderson about Cisco's networking and security strategy that focuses on creating a great unified experience, and the role data and AI play in the future.

The rapid evolution of AI technologies is transforming enterprise operations and reshaping the data center landscape. As businesses look to harness AI's full potential, critical questions around data center performance and capacity arise. Join WWT Senior Practice Manager for High-Performance Architecture Jeff Fonke as he talks with Cisco Fellow and Chief Architect of Global Solutions Engineering Matt Gillies as they discuss how you can unify networking, compute, security and observability to deliver AI-ready data centers.​ Jeff and Matt also talk about AI Pods that can accelerate AI model deployment with ​pre-validated, full stack systems; and other Cisco innovations making an impact on the AI landscape. ​

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will explore Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights.

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Open Shortest Path Foundations (OSPF) Learning path. This learning path on foundational Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) provides a comprehensive introduction and deep dive into the core aspects of OSPF. It starts by explaining the basics of OSPF, including its purpose, operation, and fundamental concepts such as OSPF Neighbors, advertising routes, authentication, OSPF network types, and many others. This learning path aims to equip network professionals with the foundational knowledge needed to manage and optimize OSPF in real-world environments, emphasizing best practices and common pitfalls.

No longer simply about Wi-Fi, today's campus networks integrate with building systems that can drive innovation, enhance employee experience, accelerate environmental initiatives and unlock the power of AI. Join WWT Technical Solutions Architect Samuel Clements as he talks about how wireless technology is reshaping connectivity for campus networks and acts as a platform to support hybrid work models that are more secure and embrace the unpredictability of an AI-driven future. Clements also discusses how IT leaders can create inroads with facilities management teams by treating them like a line of business, matching the right wireless technology to specific use cases and how optimized facilities can create a competitive advantage for your organization.

In today's digital age, students view pervasive wireless access not as a luxury, but as a utility. The quality of a campus's wireless network can significantly influence a student's decision on where to pursue their education. Recognizing this, WWT aims to equip higher education institutions with the knowledge to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of wireless technology. Join WWT Mobility and Digital experts for an in-depth, round-table discussion as we delve into the world of wireless networking technologies, the state of Wi-Fi 6/6e, and the emergence of Wi-Fi 7. This session will provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving this technological shift and the implications it has on various aspects of your infrastructure.

The gaming industry -- early adopters with emerging technologies such as cloud, high-performance networks and AI (the list goes on) --  can provide a glimpse into the future for enterprise IT. Watch network expert Brianna Farrell and gaming consultant Kyle Lindsey talk about how gaming companies are becoming more data-driven and security conscious, and how a strategic shift in architecture could improve user experience moving forward.

With the cyber threat landscape growing more complex each and every day, data protection and cyber resiliency have moved to the forefront of our clients' strategic agendas. IT decision makers are now highly focused on protecting their crown jewels – often their data – by securing the perimeter of their networks and looking to integrate AI and ML into their models to move into a more proactive defense posture. It's challenging... but there's good news, too. The innovations taking place in this space provides optimism that as an industry we are rounding the bend on overcoming most of the bad actors who look to exploit and destroy our customers.

In an era of rapid transformation and escalating complexity, enterprise IT leaders are at a pivotal juncture — simplify or risk falling behind. But simplification doesn't necessarily mean fewer tools. It means tightly integrated and intelligent solutions that create a unified experience that drive action. Join Jonathan Davidson, Cisco's Executive Vice President and GM of Cisco Networking, as he talks about Cisco's networking strategy that focuses on creating a great unified experience. Jonathan also talks about the role data and AI play in the future of networking and how the partnership between WWT and Cisco is rooted in our shared goal of driving value for our customers while helping them solve complex IT and business problems.
