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'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.

Manufacturing at the EDGE: SCADA Instrumentation, Model Context Protocol and Agentic Design Patterns

Modern manufacturing is evolving towards data-centric, automated and intelligent systems that require contextualized operational data streaming from IoT-based edge devices converging with IT networks for adaptive real-time decision-making. MCP offers a structured approach to managing and interpreting diverse data streams, while SCADA systems serve as the core industrial instrumentation integrated with agentic methods and advanced inferencing to enhance manufacturing processes.

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, increases risk and quietly erodes the economics of AI initiatives.

Cribl Foundation Lab

Cribl Stream is an observability pipeline tool living between any data source and any destination. These destinations can be systems of analysis (Splunk, Elastic, etc.) or systems of retention (S3 buckets, Data Lakes, etc.). Stream uses Sources, Destinations, Routes and Pipelines to move data coming from data sources, processes through its pipelines (group of functions) and sends the results to one or many destinations in the format that is best for the environment and its use cases.
