About this learning path

Today, network engineers, especially in the data center space, must acquire AI/ML infrastructure skills and be able to discuss the required infrastructure upgrades and the reasoning for the upgrades with upper management. At WWT, we are committing $500 million to help our customers with AI/ML, and we have launched a new series of Learning Paths to help the reader navigate complex AI topics. By mastering these areas, data center network engineers can effectively contribute to successfully implementing and managing advanced AI and HPC infrastructure, aligning technological capabilities with business objectives while maintaining a robust and secure network environment.
