Agentic AI is changing the economics of enterprise infrastructure. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Jeff Fonke, NetApp's Mike Homer and NVIDIA's Jason Schroedle explain why how token economics are reshaping cloud and on-prem decisions and why AI-ready data may be the true foundation for enterprise AI success.

As AI agents, cyber risk and infrastructure demand accelerate, IT leaders must move beyond experimentation and build the visibility, agility and resilience needed to operate at AI speed. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, we dive into the key lessons learned at Cisco Live 2026 and how enterprise business and technology leaders should think about them moving forward.

AI can now write code and accelerate development, but using AI tools isn't the same as becoming AI-native. Recorded at Cisco Live, this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast features Cisco SVP and Chief Product Officer of the Cisco Security Product Management organization Raj Chopra, WWT SVP of Global Solutions and Architecture Brian Ortbals and WWT VP of Digital Experiences Joe Berger discussing how AI is reshaping development and transforming the enterprise.

Explore how AI is transforming cybersecurity, the risks posed by advanced models like Mythos, and actionable strategies for building resilience against emerging threats.

AI has made infrastructure conversations more complicated, not less. For the last few years, enterprise AI has been dominated by discussions about GPUs and compute. But as organizations move from pilots to production, the conversation is shifting to everything around them. Recorded live at Cisco Live, Brian Feldt sits down with Cisco's Will Eatherton and WWT's Eric Fairfield to explore the infrastructure decisions that determine whether AI investments deliver on their promise. From networking and storage to security and operational design, they explore why AI performance is no longer determined by any single technology, but by how well the entire system works together.

At Cisco Live 2025, the networking giant rolled out a sweeping agenda to make AI not just powerful, but practical — and secure. In this episode, we caught up with leaders from Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT to talk about what this year's announcements actually mean for enterprise teams tasked with building scalable, secure, AI-ready infrastructure. From the rise of the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA to the reality of agentic workflows and persistent inference traffic, this episode unpacks the architectural shifts reshaping the modern data center.
