AI clusters are only as fast as the network stitching the GPUs together, and most enterprise networking was not built for AI-scale east-west traffic.
For network, data centre, infrastructure and technology leaders.
Buy the accelerators, then discover the job is gated by how quickly they can talk. East-west traffic at AI scale behaves nothing like the north-south patterns enterprise networks were designed and sized around.
That is the starting point for this series. Not a product session, and not a briefing. A table of senior people working through where their fabric limits utilisation today, what visibility they have into it, and what a redesign realistically involves.
Six cities across APAC, between October and November 2026. Each table runs under the Chatham House Rule.
Arista Networks Q2 2026 financial results and product announcements, 2026. Figures pending client verification.
Each table works through the same three questions, shaped by what the room brings to them.
The first question is measurement: what percentage of theoretical cluster throughput each organisation realises in practice, and whether they can see where the rest goes.
// tension: bought capacity and usable capacity are different numbersThis session looks at the cost of running different network operating systems across campus, data centre and AI cluster, and whether unifying them is worth the migration.
// differentiator: one operating system from client to AI centreLiquid cooling changes what can sit in a rack and therefore what the fabric has to reach. The table works through how far physical constraints are now shaping network design decisions.
// context: liquid-cooled platforms for high density clustersEach city is its own table with its own room, confirmed independently. Registration of interest is open now, with dates and venues confirmed city by city.
Customers see networking as the central nervous system for infrastructure from the client to campus to data and AI centers.

Arista built its business on a single programmable network operating system running everywhere, at a time when the industry assumed each layer needed its own. That decision is why AI fabric was an extension rather than a pivot.
The company is a leader in data-driven, client-to-cloud networking for large AI, data centre, campus and routing environments.
Innovatus Media is a Sydney based B2B events agency that runs invitation-only executive roundtable series across APAC, EMEA and North America.
We convene senior decision makers for closed door conversations on the problems they are actually working on, and produce every element of the series end to end, from the room and the table to the follow up.
