The short version
- SPONSORED POST: Why training AI across multiple sites is creating a new networking challenge Training the largest AI models is no longer simply a question of adding more GPUs.
- As clusters grow, power availability is becoming a hard physical constraint, forcing infrastructure teams to consider how a single training workload can operate across multiple data centres.
- That creates a very different networking problem.
What happened
Traditional datacenter interconnect was designed to move traffic between sites. AI training demands something more exacting: huge, synchronous flows, minimal packet loss and tightly coordinated communication between GPUs.
Why it matters
If one part of the cluster stalls, the impact can ripple across the entire job.
