Kentik

An unforgettable day at Fenway Park with the NetBox Labs team! ⚾️ We toured one of baseball's most historic ballparks and took our shot at a Red Sox Batting Experience in center field. The rain didn't let up, but neither did the Sox, and neither did we. Grateful for partners who show up rain or shine. ☔️

Every AI roadmap starts with GPUs, models, and data pipelines. Almost none of them account for the network. That oversight is quietly costing enterprises millions in wasted compute, failed deployments, and AI initiatives that stall before reaching production. AI traffic doesn't behave like traditional traffic. Training jobs generate massive east-west flows between thousands of GPUs working in lockstep. Inference is spreading from data centers to edge sites, cloud regions, and hybrid setups. Neither pattern is what most enterprise networks were built for. Kentik Field CTO Justin Ryburn breaks down the blind spot and what AI-forward organizations need to do now. https://lnkd.in/gTFRzZVr

Most network teams don't have an AI problem. They have a data problem. When telemetry is scattered across tools, vendors, and silos, even the best AI has nothing to work with. That's the gap between "we're using AI" and "AI is actually changing how we operate." In a new SDxCentral interview, Kentik's VP of Product, Alex Cruz Farmer, sits down with Kat Sullivan to discuss what it really takes to move network operations from reactive to preventive and where agentic AI fits in. Worth a watch if you're thinking about: 🔎 What proactive ops actually look like beyond the buzzwords 🤖 How AI is changing root cause analysis in the NOC 🛠️ The unglamorous foundation work that has to happen first Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/g-x8Uiiq
