The rapid growth of AI workloads in 2025, with data increasing by 690%, is driving major advancements in data infrastructure across various industries including healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Companies are scaling their data pipelines with automated, real-time integration to handle this surge. In response to these demands, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has introduced new networking solutions through its Aruba division, unveiling updated smart switches and an expanded wired and wireless portfolio aimed at modernizing data centers and Wi-Fi environments. These innovations include distributed services switches and support for AI-native infrastructure, designed to meet the requirements of AI and high-performance computing (HPC). Additionally, Juniper Networks has responded to the strain on data center networks by deploying 800GB Ethernet technology, low-power optics, and Apstra automation to support scalable, AI-ready infrastructure.
