AI is driving data center networking into a high-speed arms race, but severe supply chain logjams and enterprise realities threaten to stall the momentum.
In this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast, host Tom Hollingsworth is joined by Scott Robohn and Andy Banta to debate whether data center networking can keep up with its massive AI-driven growth targets heading into Networking Field Day 41.
The panel explores the widening gap between high-end AI data fabrics operating at 400G to 1.6T speeds and standard enterprise access networks, the fragmentation of unified network architectures, supply chain lead times reaching up to 15 months, and whether current vendor growth metrics reflect long-term architectural shift or a market bubble.
