Adtran Enhances Data Center Interconnect Capabilities with Dynamic AI Network Cloud Solution HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Adtran has introduced its AI Network Cloud (AINC) interconnect solution, a cutting-edge fiber networking platform designed to support the growing AI needs of hyperscalers, federal agencies, state and local governments (SLED), and enterprises. This new technology seamlessly integrates with Dell’s AI Factory, dynamically adjusting optical networking capacity to align with real-time AI workloads. The result is high-speed, efficient connectivity from data center to data center and from the network core to the edge, providing greater autonomy and control over AI service deployments. “AI workloads are placing unprecedented pressure on existing network infrastructures, and data center operators require solutions that can flexibly adapt to demand,” commented Jack Yocum, Vice President of North America ICP and Enterprise Sales at Adtran. “Traditionally, fiber transport systems have been static, which limits their ability to respond to varying data needs. Our AINC-interconnect solution changes this paradigm by offering a flexible optical transport system that can adjust on the fly. This makes it ideal for a wide range of AI operations, from edge computing to centralized generative AI training, ensuring continuous data flow and optimized cost and efficiency.” The AINC-interconnect solution leverages Adtran's FSP 3000 platform to optimize optical data transmission in real-time using AI-driven traffic management. This not only improves performance by up to 50 times but also increases GPU efficiency by up to 20% and reduces transport costs by up to 50%. When paired with Dell’s AI Factory, a comprehensive suite for managing advanced AI workloads, the solution benefits from Dell’s extensive cloud infrastructure expertise, further enhancing its scalability and security. The support for Secured Token Wave Fiber allows for programmable, policy-based service delivery and the creation of trusted AI ecosystems, bridging both public and private domains. Ryan Schmidt, General Manager of Optical Transport at Adtran, emphasized the value of the AINC-interconnect solution: “This technology gives our customers unprecedented control over their AI service deployment, allowing them to scale without the limitations of legacy transport models. It optimizes GPU usage, significantly reduces costs, and prepares networks for the future demands of AI. Additionally, it supports sovereign AI strategies, edge compute expansion, and multi-domain data compliance, all while minimizing reliance on hyperscaler ecosystems. The AINC-interconnect solution also enables the delivery of highly secure and sovereign AI services, offering greater flexibility and control. It provides the high-bandwidth connectivity essential for AI applications like real-time analytics, predictive modeling, and large-scale automation.” Adtran’s AINC-interconnect solution is available with tailored upgrade options for both new and existing customers. These include Fast-TRX for core deployments and Fast Ramp-TRX for edge acceleration, ensuring smooth integration and quick deployment across diverse infrastructures.
