Broadcom Tomahawk 6 and Tomahawk Ultra are redefining Ethernet for AI infrastructure. Recorded at CLOUDFEST, Łukasz Łukowski from STORDIS talks with Kamran Naqvi from Broadcom about 102.4 Tb/s switching silicon, scale-out and scale-up AI networking, ultra-low-latency HPC, Enterprise SONiC, and why Ethernet is ready for the next generation of AI data centers.

What happens when infrastructure is no longer written only as code, but described as a prompt? In this CLOUDFEST Masterclass, Kamal Bhatt from STORDIS explains the concept of Infrastructure as Prompt — an AI-driven approach to designing, testing, documenting, and automating modern infrastructure using coding agents, digital twins, Git, GNS3, NetBox, telemetry, and real network devices. What if mod...

Recorded live at the OCP Regional Summit Dublin 2025, this session features Gidi Navon of Marvell and Taras Chornyi of PLVISION exploring how OpenLAN Switching is pushing open networking beyond cloud environments and into campus, enterprise, and industrial deployments. As part of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), OpenLAN is building a community-driven switching ecosystem centered on open-source inn...

Recorded live at the OCP Regional Summit Dublin 2025, this candid session features Matthias Haag (Founder & CEO, UhuruTec) sharing what it really looks like to deploy Community SONiC for a production cloud platform — from the perspective of a network user , not a network admin. Matthias walks through the promise of vendor-neutral networking (a “Linux-like” hardware abstraction for switches) —...

Recorded live at the OCP Regional Summit Dublin 2025, this session features Kamran Naqvi (Broadcom) exploring how next-generation Ethernet networking is accelerating AI infrastructure — and what enterprises need to build practical, scalable GPU clusters with SONiC. From AI traffic patterns (elephant flows, low entropy, tail latency) to real-world topology and cabling choices, Kamran breaks down wh...

I’ll rewrite your session description to match the same structure and tone as the example: short intro, “Learn how” value line, punchy bullet takeaways, and a timestamp-style outline, ending with the same contact/social footer. Recorded live at the OCP Regional Summit Dublin 2025, this episode features Nanda Ravindran (VP of Technical Sales, Edgecore Networks) sharing hands-on, real-world insights...

Recorded live at OCP Regional Summit Dublin 2025 , this episode features Kamal Bhatt (Software Product Manager, STORDIS) presenting a suite of open-source tools that bring AI-driven monitoring and orchestration to SONiC network environments. Learn how Monsoon 2 , AI-enhanced ORCA , and Smart CLI are transforming SONiC operations — from agentless telemetry with gNMI to natural-language monitoring a...

Relive the key moments from the SONiC Open Insight Forum , recorded during the OCP Regional Summit in Dublin . This special session brings together leaders from STORDIS , The Linux Foundation , the SONiC community , and the wider open networking ecosystem to explore how SONiC is enabling next-generation, AI-ready networks —at scale, in production, and in real hyperscaler environments. From roadmap...

Exclusive Interview from OCP Dublin: Making SONiC “Real” — Beyond Deployment, Into 2,000 Days of Operations In this exclusive interview recorded at OCP Dublin, Sebastian sits down with Amir to explore what it really takes to turn SONiC into a production-grade network operating system — not just for day one deployment, but for the thousands of days of operation and maintenance that follow. From AI-...

Take a fast-paced journey from IBM PC DOS to MS DOS, from UNIX to Linux — and explore how pulling operating systems apart from hardware transformed everything: servers, networks, and today’s cloud-scale AI data centers. In this episode, Martin Hayes walks us through a fascinating technical story of how we moved from closed, vertically integrated systems into the open, disaggregated world we live i...

In this exclusive podcast, dive into how IONOS, a leading European cloud and hosting provider, successfully migrated from InfiniBand to Ethernet using open networking technologies and Enterprise SONiC. Join experts from IONOS— George Daly (Head of Data Center Network Fabric Team) and René Mack (Network Engineer)—along with Kamran Naqvi, Chief Network Architect at Broadcom, as they share valuable i...

In this must-listen episode, we dive deep into Broadcom’s groundbreaking Tomahawk 6 — the world’s first 102.4 Tbps Ethernet switch chip , purpose-built to unleash the next generation of AI , machine learning , and high-performance computing (HPC) networks. Join Kamran Naqvi , Chief Network Architect at Broadcom, as he breaks down why AI is fundamentally a distributed compute problem and how Ethern...
