Networks that brought us here won't carry us into AI future
"Agentic AI creates three demands on network infrastructure: the need for comprehensive connectivity to enterprise data, a shift in data movement patterns, and complex security requirements that challenge existing architectures."
"Organizations refreshing networks now with backward-looking technology will face another expensive upgrade cycle soon, as the demands of AI and quantum computing evolve."
Agentic AI imposes new demands on enterprise networks, requiring comprehensive connectivity to operational data sources, accommodating high-volume data flows, and addressing complex security challenges. Traditional desk-to-cloud traffic patterns are insufficient for the data movement required by AI applications. Additionally, organizations must prepare for quantum computing threats, necessitating the adoption of quantum-secure technologies in network devices. Cisco emphasizes that failing to upgrade networks now will lead to costly future upgrades, highlighting the urgency of a strategic network refresh for AI transformation.
