DriveNets revamps Ethernet to connect AI megaclusters in the cloud

DriveNets accidentally solved one of the biggest emerging issues in the cloud, unveiling new software which will allow hyperscalers and enterprises alike to connect as many as 32,000 GPUs with good old Ethernet technology to run massive artificial intelligence (AI) workloads.

DriveNets’ Network Cloud-AI launch comes amid increased interest in AI applications which is expected to drive spending in the coming years. IDC has forecast that global spending on AI software, hardware and services for AI-centric systems will hit $154 billion this year and nearly double to over $300 billion by 2026. And according to Weckel’s 650 Group, spending on AI networking is expected to rise from $2 billion in 2022 to $10.5 billion in 2027. Of the latter figure, approximately $4 billion will be spent on InfiniBand, with the remaining $6.5 billion going toward some kind of Ethernet solution.
