Arrcus

For our Director's Cut, Sanjay Kumar, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Arrcus, and Keyur Patel, Founder and CTO at Arrcus, explain how Arrcus provides a unified network fabric that connects GPU resources across scale-up, scale-out, and scale-across layers for distributed AI workloads. They touch on how Arrcus differentiates itself through hardware-abstracted operating system software that works across multiple silicon platforms.

Sanjay Kumar, VP of Products and Marketing, and Keyur Patel, CTO at Arrcus, discuss how the distributed nature of AI workloads is fundamentally changing network architecture, with Ethernet becoming a first-class citizen in AI networks for both training and inferencing across increasingly heterogeneous hardware environments. They explain how Arrcus addresses the needs of telcos, colocation providers, hyperscalers, enterprises, and neoclouds by providing a unified fabric that is scalable, highly secured, fully programmatic, and orchestrated on demand across different data centers.

Sanjay Kumar, VP of Products and Marketing at Arrcus, announces the Arrcus inference network fabric at MWC 2026, a solution enabling network operators to deliver agentic and physical AI with low latency, data sovereignty, and reduced cost per inference. He reveals a partnership with Fujitsu combining Fujitsu's Monaka processor with Arrcus' programmable operating system and Oneinity's optical interconnect, along with customer announcements with Lightstorm, demonstrating Arrcus' capabilities across edge 5G, multicloud networking, and data centers.

Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus, outlines how networking infrastructure supports AI's progression from training to distributed inference applications through their multi-platform networking fabric and operating system. He discusses Arrcus's IPsec offloading for AI data centers and cost management solutions, while highlighting Ethernet's expanding role in connecting GPU stacks to edge computing.

Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus, announced multiple strategic initiatives at MWC 2024, including the TGAX Telco-grade AI switch and partnerships with industry leaders like Broadcom, Liberty Global, and Fujitsu.

Sanjay Kumar, VP of Products and Marketing at Arrcus, presents the company's ACE AI distributed networking fabric that provides congestion-free, lossless Ethernet connectivity for AI workloads spanning from data center training to edge inferencing. Kumar announces a collaboration with Quanta Cloud Technologies to enable their Tomahawk 5 switches for AI-ready rack solutions, creating turnkey offerings that reduce deployment friction for customers implementing AI at scale.

Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus, outlines three major AI infrastructure predictions for 2025, including a shift from training to inference and the deployment of AI models at network edges. His analysis highlights how Arrcus is developing intelligent networks with optimized channels for power and cost efficiency, while integrating security features directly into routing and switching infrastructure.

Sanjay Kumar, VP of Products and Marketing at Arrcus, discusses how AI/ML can enable anomaly detection, closed-loop remediation, and facilitate capacity planning in networks. He also touches on how AI/ML can improve security of networks.

Sanjay Kumar, VP of Products and Marketing at Arrcus, highlighted the company's strategy to leverage AI in network operations, including the introduction of a platform that connects various AI components across the network. Arrcus has also announced support for new platforms with enhanced ethernet connectivity, SmartNIC and DPU platforms like Nvidia Bluefield, and AR IQ, an observability platform providing a comprehensive network view for operators.

Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus, forecasts a shift in 2024 where the network will become the computer, driven by the rise of AI which demands three critical network characteristics. Ayyar also predicts expansion of multicloud networking, and scale up for data center infrastructure.

Sanjay Kumar, VP of Products and Marketing at Arrcus, introduced the company's solutions for enhancing AI and 5G capabilities for network operators, including data center solutions — a network fabric overlay FlexMCN and SRv6 mobile user plane (MUP) technology developed for SoftBank Mobile. Kumar also highlights ArcIQ, a solution offering end-to-end network visibility, and discussed the role of 5G as a transport mechanism for AI and ML workloads, emphasizing the company's commitment to optimizing GPU utilization, minimizing latency, and reducing total cost of ownership.

What's best path to monetizing network infrastructure? Shekar Ayyar provides a walk-through of the Arccus booth at Mobile World Congress 2023. ACE – a cloud-native, programmable platform that modernizes 5G networks from edge to multi-cloud – is the centerpiece solution. It brings together Arrcus’ foundational network operating system, 5G and multi-cloud connectivity, and analytics and management technologies into a unified platform to address use cases.

Phil Banh, Sr Solutions Architect from Arrcus, explains what makes SRv6 uSID the future of scalable networking solutions: - High customer interest in #SRv6 and uSID scalability - Successful interoperability testing of SRv6 uSID with six other vendors in Berlin

Sanjay Kumar, VP Product Management and Marketing from Arrcus, explains why communication service providers need a unified network like Arrcus Connected Edge (ACE) that stitches together workloads from the edge into the multi-cloud. In addition, Sanjay touches on: * The need for control, visibility, and guaranteed SLAs for applications * Arrcus FlexMCN, a solution for multi-cloud, and how it provides a secure fabric from cloud to edge

As we look ahead to the future of routing and switching in 2023, how will telcos and cloud operators integrate their infrastructure? Are we headed to a big mash-up? Here are 3 predictions from Arrcus’s Shekar Ayyar .
