General-purpose infrastructure doesn’t scale when AI becomes an always-on business workload.

Alastair Cooke notes that hardware and models are now purpose-built for efficient inference, often replacing large edge servers with smaller, specialized devices.

AI doesn’t break because models get bigger—it breaks when the data can’t move fast enough.

As Alastair Cooke highlights, modern AI environments rely on a broad mix of switching and data delivery technologies working together across the entire AI pipeline.

If you design AI infrastructure for a single workload, you’re already behind.

As Alastair Cooke notes, inference is increasingly moving out of centralized data centers and closer to where data is generated, whether at the edge or on embedded systems.
