    AI Canvas gives troubleshooting a much-needed agentic push

    Together with DJ Sampath, SVP of AI Software and Platforms at Cisco, we take a deep dive in the evolution from AIOps to Agentic Ops. The main focus of the discussion is on AI Canvas, Cisco's latest innovation for network troubleshooting. Unlike traditional chatbot-based AI tools, AI Canvas leverages a purpose-built deep network model trained on 30 years of human network engineering interactions, the company claims. The conversation explores three core principles of agentic operations: bringing data across silos together, enabling multiplayer collaboration, and using purpose-built models for specific domains. Sampath details how AI Canvas aims to transform IT troubleshooting from a reactive, dashboard-heavy process into an intelligent, agent-driven experience that autonomously debugs and resolves network issues. Key takeaways: • Agentic Ops represents autonomous AI agents executing tasks end-to-end, not just chatbot interactions • AI Canvas uses a deep network model trained on real human network engineering data, not just synthetic data • Three pillars: unified data silos, multiplayer workflows, and purpose-built models • AI Canvas creates dynamic, generative UI widgets that it populates based on troubleshooting context • Starting with Meraki and Thousand Eyes integration, expanding to Cisco Cloud Control • Future expansion to include third-party vendors through MCP servers Chapters: 0:13 - Introduction 0:25 - Understanding AI Canvas 1:43 - From AIOps to Agentic Ops 6:43 - Three core principles of Agentic Ops 8:11 - Deep Network Model explained 9:24 - AI Canvas in action 13:07 - Automation and workflows 16:23 - Prerequisites and getting started

    "Not all clouds are created equal" in the AI era: how is OCI different?

    Richard Smith, EVP and GM EMEA Cloud Infrastructure at Oracle, sits down with us during Oracle AI World to discuss the company's strategic move to go all-in on AI. Not only the name of its flagship event has changed from Cloud World to AI World, it is much more fundamental. Our conversation covers, among other things, Oracle's AI data platform. One of the goals of this platform is to allow customers to use their own data for AI workloads without moving it. With data data sovereignty and security front and center nowadays, this is an important feature of Oracle's approach. The conversation meanders from high-level strategic to rather fine-grained and specific. On the one hand we talk about the importance of database vectorization in the latest version of the Oracle database and about how Oracle handles scale-across workloads. On the other, we ask Smith questions about Oracle's massive infrastructure investments, including the Abilene data center project and Stargate initiatives, but also European sovereignty concerns, DORA compliance. Oracle being a key player in the 'AI bubble' discussion that is going on at the moment, we don't shy away from that discussion either.
