Adtran’s enhanced AINC-interconnect solution integrates with Dell’s AI Factory to optimize AI workloads and enable seamless scaling
Adtran introduced its revolutionary AI Network Cloud (AINC)-interconnect solution, a cutting-edge fiber networking platform engineered to meet the growing demands of hyperscalers, federal agencies, SLED organizations, and enterprises. As AI services continue to scale, this next-generation solution seamlessly supports dynamic connectivity between data centers and from core to edge, optimizing optical networking capacity to accommodate real-time AI workloads.
The AINC-interconnect solution, integrated with Dell’s AI Factory, leverages advanced technology to dynamically adjust network capacity, ensuring high-speed, uninterrupted data transfer. By supporting tokenized, sovereign AI networks and enabling flexible compute allocation, Adtran’s solution empowers organizations to expand AI capabilities with enhanced autonomy, control, and cost efficiency.
“AI workloads are pushing existing networks to their limits and data center operators need solutions that can scale dynamically to meet demand,” said Jack Yocum, VP of North America ICP and enterprise sales at Adtran. “Traditionally, fiber transport infrastructures have been static, limiting the ability to adapt to fluctuating demands. Our new AINC-interconnect solution transforms this by introducing flexible optical transport capable of real-time adjustments. Whether supporting agentic AI at the edge or centralized generative AI training, this solution delivers the adaptability that modern AI operations demand. Specifically designed to support rapid AI service expansion, it ensures uninterrupted data movement and control over cost and efficiency.”
