DriveNets

In this Director's Cut video, Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, explains how Ethernet is evolving through advancing speeds (800G to 3.2T), co-packaged optics (CPO) integration, and scheduling layers that address lossiness to support AI infrastructure with GPU clusters scaling from 8,000 to nearly one million units. He describes how DriveNets has adapted its scheduled fabric technology, delivering superior time-to-first-token performance and lower cost-per-million-tokens compared to proprietary technologies.

Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, explains that while networking represents only 10% of AI infrastructure costs, it causes 80% of deployment challenges, advocating for Ethernet-based solutions with scheduling capabilities that can exceed InfiniBand performance. He emphasizes the importance of working with innovative vendors who have deep expertience.

Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, presents the company's dual AI strategy at MWC 2026, introducing automation tools that simplify service provider operations and enable autonomous networks while helping operators leverage existing infrastructure for new AI business opportunities. DriveNets enables service providers to use the same infrastructure for both legacy services and new offerings like GPU-as-a-service, allowing them to build GPU clusters, become neo-clouds, and capitalize on the AI market.

Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, presents three predictions for 2026 AI infrastructure: a more heterogeneous GPU market, networking becoming a critical design consideration, and Ethernet emerging as the leading technology across all AI infrastructure connections (from scale-up to scale-out).

Juan Rodriguez, Senior Sales Engineer at DriveNets, explains how service providers are adopting AI networking through a "third" approach leveraging distributed disaggregated chassis (DDC) cluster technology with fabric architecture.

Dudy Cohen, VP, Product Marketing at DriveNets, outlines three essential approaches to AI infrastructure scaling: scale up, scale out, and scale across, demonstrating how modern networks can support up to 576 GPUs in single clusters. His analysis shows how scale out networking enables unlimited GPU scalability through fabric scheduled architectures, while scale across solutions allow organizations to manage distributed GPU resources across multiple data centers as one unified system.

Dudy Cohen, VP, Product Marketing at DriveNets, outlines how data centers can support AI workloads through advanced networking solutions that eliminate jitter and packet drop while maintaining low latency. His showcases the DriveNets Network Cloud AI solution, which uses scheduled Ethernet fabric to connect thousands of GPUs through a single hop while operating on cost-effective white box hardware.

Juan Rodriguez, Senior Sales Engineer at DriveNets, shared insights on how AI and quantum computing will shape networking's future, while advising service providers on segment routing implementation and vendor relationships.

Dudy Cohen, VP, Product Marketing at DriveNets, discusses Ethernet's growing dominance across all networking use cases at the OCP Global Summit, explaining how modern high-performance Ethernet solutions now surpass InfiniBand performance through technologies like scheduled fabric. He emphasizes that Ethernet is successfully pursuing leadership in the demanding scale-up domain with its improved low latency and predictability capabilities, making this an exciting time for AI infrastructure networking.

Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, emphasizes the importance of flexibility and service agility in modern middle mile networks, advocating for a software-centric, disaggregated approach. Dudy envisions a future where Network as a Service (NaaS) reshapes carrier networks, with AI-driven systems managing complex networks in real-time.

Juan Rodriguez, Senior Sales Engineer at Drivenets, observes that disaggregation in networking is happening, and shares how they are helping customers address challenges on the journey.

Run Almog, Head of Product Strategy at Drivenets, discusses how the industry is showing interest in the disaggregated distributed chassis (DDC) solution as well as the emergence of SRv6.
