Zayo Reframes Networking for the AI Era

Mike Vizard talks with Bill Long, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Zayo, about why AI is making enterprise network traffic less predictable and more demanding. Long explains how network-as-a-service, distributed connectivity, private cloud access, flexible capacity and AI-ready infrastructure can help organizations connect data, compute, GPUs, memory and emerging AI services more dynamically. The conversation also covers multi-AI environments, DynamicLink, MCP-enabled network automation, autonomous network operations, latency assumptions and why enterprises need more flexible networking models as AI changes where data is created, moved and consumed.
