AI is placing new demands on infrastructure that many traditional data center environments were never designed to handle. As organizations move from experimentation to production, leaders are being forced to rethink how networking, compute, storage, and data pipelines work together to support high-performance AI workloads without introducing unnecessary complexity or risk.

This discussion will explore what it actually means for a data center to be AI-ready and how modern architectures differ from the environments many teams operate today. Cisco and Insight will share practical perspectives on how organizations are modernizing existing environments, not just building new ones, to improve performance, resilience, and operational efficiency as AI initiatives scale.

Executives will hear real-world lessons on common infrastructure pitfalls, governance and security considerations, and how leading teams are aligning AI infrastructure investments with measurable business outcomes. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the architectural shifts required and a practical roadmap for turning their infrastructure into a platform capable of accelerating AI innovation and time to value.

BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & Cisco invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

• Understand what makes a data center truly AI-ready—from networking and compute to storage and data pipelines—and how this differs from traditional architectures.
• Learn how Cisco and Insight together design modern, scalable architectures that can support demanding AI workloads today while flexing for what’s next.
• Discover practical steps to modernize your existing environment (not just greenfield) to improve performance, resilience, and efficiency for AI initiatives.
• Hear real-world insights on common pitfalls, governance and security considerations, and how to align AI infrastructure with business outcomes.
• Walk away with a clear, actionable roadmap to begin turning your infrastructure into an intelligent platform that accelerates innovation and time-to-value.
