Agenda:
- Wednesday, May 1 2024, 2:40 PM - 3:10 PM PT
- Vishal Shukla, CEO
Multi Vendor Agnostic Approach to SONiC Migration
In this event, Vishal will delve into the process of transitioning to SONiC independently of hardware vendors, making it relevant for both existing infrastructure and new AI networking fabrics. He will emphasize SONiC’s extension to enterprise edge networks which integrates edge-specific protocols like Power Over Ethernet (PoE). This expansion not only enhances SONiC’s applicability across all enterprise environments but also tailors it to meet the specific needs of edge deployments. Vishal will outline detailed strategies for quality assurance, vendor selection, and managing operations from inception (day 0) to launch (day 1), and discuss how these strategies can be integrated with current toolsets. Additionally, he will explain how AI can facilitate a smoother migration process, optimizing the transition for both current and future networking technologies.
- Monday, April 29 2024, 4:20 PM - 4:45 PM PT
- Madhu Paluru, Director of Engineering
Unlocking Possibilities with Gen-AI and Open Networking
To operate networks at scale the engineering teams and decision makers collect vast amounts of data from various sources such as data centers and edges. This data includes network and application visibility, which can be overwhelming to analyze and make actionable insights. By leveraging SONiC as the Open Networking platform, which enabled us with a richer set of data that can be harnessed with LLMs to condense this vast amount of data into actionable insights, that helps operators and decision makers to tackle various use cases such as compliance, forecasting and troubleshooting.

Overcoming Challenges for AI-Fabric with SONiC
The increasing use of Gen AI training and inference workloads has posed unique requirements to network infrastructure. SONiC as a Open Networking Platform provides all the necessary control and data plane support to handle these AI workloads and we will propose solutions to efficiently manage and operate these AI fabrics by minimizing the configuration errors by config automation and improved troubleshooting by providing deep visibility into the network.
