\u201cOverall, AI demand in the enterprise will grow over time. But enterprise customers need to see the value, see the ROI. Also, they have to have a well-defined use case,\u201d Wollenweber said, noting that the 12-month innovation cycles of GPU vendors can be problematic if customers choose the wrong platform. If customers \u201cmake a large investment and can\u2019t capitalize on that investment and get value out of the equipment, then by the time they get to maturity, the next generations of GPUs are there and they want to move,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s another reason customers are experimenting with AI via cloud providers or sovereign AI facilities that are built for experimentation and for expanding AI use cases, Wollenweber said.<\/p>\n
AI community building<\/p>\n
While Cisco is focused on bolstering enterprise infrastructure, it\u2019s also doing work with the broader the AI community by making available technology it hopes will drive further usage.<\/p>\n
Most recently, Cisco donated its AGNTCY initiative<\/a> to the Linux Foundation, which will continue to advance the AI agent management platform as an open-source project. Outshift, which is Cisco\u2019s research and development arm, launched AGNTCY to develop AI agent discovery, identity, messaging, and observability infrastructure.<\/p>\n Under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, Cisco, Dell, Google Cloud, Oracle, Red Hat and more than 65 other vendors will build a wide range of industry-standard protocols and frameworks to allow AI agents to discover one another, communicate, collaborate and be managed across platforms, models, and organizations, according to the Linux Foundation and Cisco.<\/p>\n \u201cBut to build these collaborative systems, agents need to be able to find each other, verify their identities, and share context without expensive custom integration work. Agentic AI is now at the same inflection point the early internet faced. Brilliant individual systems that can\u2019t talk to each other, where every agent is its own island \u2013 until common protocols emerge,\u201d wrote Vijoy Pandey<\/a>, general manager and senior vice president of Outshift by Cisco, in a\u00a0blog post<\/a> about the contribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cOverall, AI demand in the enterprise will grow over time.
