Building AI Data Center Networks: Practical Challenges, Fiber Architecture, and Scalable Design

Deploying AI infrastructure in today’s data centers introduces new challenges in network speed, fiber density, and operational complexity. This session examines how AI and generative workloads are reshaping data center network design, driving new requirements for structured cabling, power, and physical layout.

Alongside an overview of key AI networking trends, the presentation dives deeper into the structure of fiber optic cabling in AI data centers, illustrating how connectivity is organized to support high-density GPU environments and rapid deployment cycles. Attendees will gain practical guidance on managing change, reducing deployment risk, and designing network and cabling architectures that scale efficiently while remaining flexible for future AI demands.

Join our hosts and your peers from across the industry for a sit down, 3-course lunch as we discuss the future of data center cooling and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

This session is by invitation only.
