Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Cisco RoCE Networking lab. This lab is designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco RoCE Networking Lab. This lab will demonstrate how the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) can easily set up an AI/ML fabric with a simple point-and-click GUI. This one-hour event is limited to 60 participants who will have the opportunity to engage in Q&A during the session. Attendees are encouraged to actively participate by launching the lab themselves alongside the host for a hands-on experience.

Threat actors are moving faster than ever – often as soon as a vulnerability emerges. In this episode, Cisco's Jeetu Patel dives into Cisco Hypershield – one of the most significant innovation's to ever come out of the security and networking powerhouse. Jeetu details how Hypersheid can be integrated into in-flight AI strategies, embracing a product mindset and key areas you should be prioritizing today to win tomorrow.

Generative AI may sit atop the executive agenda, but few organizations are fully prepared to harness the full potential of AI and AI-powered technologies. While at Cisco Live, we caught up with Cisco's David Jensen and WWT's Justin van Schaik to talk about the need to modernize and scale enterprise data centers for the surging growth in AI. We also talk with David and Justin about managing AI environments and workloads and how Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters make it easy for enterprise customers to build infrastructure to run generative AI models.

IT leaders are bought into the transformational power of AI, but fatigued with trying to put it into action. Most are experimenting, but a significant majority are looking for a clear roadmap to separate hype from reality. While at Cisco Live!, we caught up with NVIDIA's Marty Jain and WWT's Neil Anderson to talk what is real when it comes to AI and what is hype. We also talked with Marty about the growing partnership between WWT, NVIDIA and Cisco, and the potential of Cisco Nexus HyperFabric, a breakthrough AI cluster solution with NVIDIA for the data center.
