The AI readiness conversation seems to have a massive blind spot, a recent Cisco and Foundry research has revealed.
Beyond infrastructure, GPUs and cyber threats, the report titled No time to wait: The accelerating impact of AI on campus and branch networks, discusses the “extraordinary pressure” AI is placing on enterprise networking.
Surveying more than 3,400 IT and networking decision-makers across 15 countries, the research sounds the alarm on the rapidly increasing strain on networks with rampant adoption of generative, agentic and physical AI.
“This new research finds that campus and branch environments are fundamentally mismatched with the scale, speed and variability of AI-driven traffic now moving across enterprise networks,” the report notes.
