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. ​

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.

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.

Adoption of Secure Service Edge (SSE) platforms, which provides security and policy enforcement right at the cloud edge, is accelerating and remains key to realizing a full SASE model. In this episode of WWT Research, Technical Solutions Engineer Nicole Portell outlines steps you can take to implement SSE for a secure, scalable and flexible network architecture that optimizes traffic flows and optimizes user experience.

As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, traditional network architectures are proving inadequate to support the distributed nature of modern work environments. Join WWT Senior Vice President Greg Schoeny and Neil Anderson, who leads WWT's cloud and infrastructure practice, as they talk about the transformative impact of cloud-based applications and distributed workforces on service provider network architectures. Greg and Neil also discuss how service providers can adapt to these changes to ensure high-performance, secure connectivity for all users, devices, and applications, regardless of their location.

APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.
