For enterprises, the value generated from deploying AI in the workplace really occurs after models have been trained and Inferencing begins to generate real business outcomes that drive employee efficiency.  AI Inferencing functions very differently than traditional networking so the continued growth and use of AI within an enterprise environment requires not just more advanced compute but also requires a network infrastructure that can support the higher-bandwidth data flow created by AI.

For channel partners that are engaging with businesses, universities, labs, energy, finance, government agencies, and more providing networking infrastructure upgrades is critical to ensuring AI performance across the enterprise.

  • By 2027, 80% of Executives beleive their company’s competitve survival will depend on Agentic AI
  • Agentic AI is critically dependent on the performance and responsiveness of Inferencing to generate business outcomes

Why an AI Network Matters for Enterprises

With the growth of Agentic and Inference AI that allows enterprises to leverage trained models to deliver business outcomes specific to the organization, the network can no longer be viewed as a data link between systems and servers, it has a critical impact on AI performance and resource utilization. The right network structure contributes significantly to delivering value for AI deployments by improving infrastructure efficiency, reducing time-to-value, and decreasing operational complexity. The network can’t be considered an afterthought in the AI Infrastructure, it is the strategic foundation that determines whether AI deployments deliver measurable enterprise value.

Enterprise AI Switches – Edgecore DCS500 & DCS520 Series

ASI supports channel resellers with the full line of Edgecore Networking solutions including the DCS500 and DCS520 series which serve as fundamental building blocks for high-throughput, low-latency enterprise AI networking. While ultra-dense 800G/1.6T platforms target massive hyperscaler backends, the DCS series provides the ideal balance of performance, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for mainstream enterprise AI inference clusters, training pods, and high-performance hybrid fabrics.

High-bandwidth Connectivity – Coherent

Modern networking infrastructures run on a backbone that is 25G or faster. As AI systems become larger, faster, and more interconnected, data movement is becoming just as critical as data processing. AI runs on compute, but it scales on connectivity. Coherent/Finisar is a leader in photonics and optical networking placing them at the center of enabling next-generation infrastructure.
