Artificial intelligence is reshaping data center operations, driving unprecedented demands for computing power, network reliability, and security. As organizations scale AI workloads, they face significant challenges in maintaining uninterrupted operations, reducing latency, and securing critical infrastructure. According to Opengear’s recent research, 94% of CIOs and CSOs have implemented AI for network management, signaling AI’s growing role in transforming network strategies.
With AI models becoming more complex, the need for continuous data processing and real-time analytics makes downtime even more costly. Network disruptions, misconfigurations, and security vulnerabilities can severely compromise AI performance, underscoring the importance of a robust out-of-band management strategy for maximum uptime.
