As enterprises find ever more use cases for generative AI (genAI) and agentic AI, their ability to achieve optimal business outcomes from these use cases will depend on the strength of their hybrid multicloud networks. Typically, these workloads demand higher-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for centralized application delivery (LLM development), and AI at the edge (inferencing). If IT leaders fail to design a network that can handle the large data volumes and unique traffic patterns of AI…

June Wan/ZDNET For years, Apple users juggled a collection of Lightning cables: one for the iPhone, maybe another for an older iPad, and then a USB-C for their MacBooks.
