Description
Wednesday, April 23 – 8Am – 9AM PDT
As AI workloads continue to scale in complexity and demand, building a robust and efficient infrastructure has become critical. SONiC, the open source network operating system, is evolving to meet these challenges—enabling high-performance, scalable AI fabrics across cloud and enterprise environments. This session will dive into recent SONiC enhancements designed to support AI-driven infrastructures, including 800G connectivity, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2), Dynamic Load Balancing, and Enhanced User-defined Hashing. These capabilities are optimized to improve network throughput, packet entropy, and link utilization—key components for reliable and efficient AI performance. Attendees will also explore design best practices and real-world architectures that leverage SONiC to support AI workloads at scale. The session will highlight deployment insights from organizations adopting SONiC for their AI infrastructure, offering practical guidance and lessons learned from the field. Join us to learn how SONiC is powering the next generation of AI networking—built on openness, performance, and scalability.
