The Future of AI & Connectivity (ft. Extreme Networks' Markus Nispel & Wes Durow)

Back in May, Extreme Networks one of the top companies in the cloud networking space, announced that Living Tomorrow Innovation Campus, an experimental lab located just outside of Brussels, selected Extreme as its network connectivity partner to build, test and validate cutting-edge, technology-driven experiences and products that are likely to become widely adopted by the year 2030. The new Campus will become the largest technological showcase to date, with a 10,000-square-meter demo center, a large space that includes a conference center and 96 hotel rooms outfitted with smart technology. Living Tomorrow’s IT team will also rely on Extreme’s solutions to leverage AI to automate tasks related to daily network maintenance and detect anomalies in network activity. One of the things that this show keeps coming back to is the idea that less sexy topics like infrastructure are actually majorly impactful when it comes to developing the world we’ll inhabit tomorrow—and I think there are many people listening right now that find infrastructure and connectivity sexy, but there are a lot of listeners who may not. So, this episode’s for you guys.Today, we use the Living Tomorrow Innovation Campus project as an entry point for a discussion with Markus Nispel, Extreme’s CTO for EMEA and Wes Durow, Extreme’s CMO, for a discussion about connectivity, AI, innovation, and much more—and I think you’ll get quite a bit out of this, even if you’re not a 10 out of 10 on the technical scale. So let’s jump right in!
