As we progress through the second of four phases of AI, successful large-scale data management will be a make or break for businesses across all sectors. The current technological shift, led by Artificial Intelligence, with other emerging tech use cases to follow, represents a trillion-dollar disruption in data centre and associated telecoms infrastructure. As noted recently by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang at SIGGRAPH 2024 this overhaul presents both unprecedented opportunity and significant threat, particularly for the classic internet.
The AI-Driven Transformation: A $1 Trillion Industry Shift
The rapid advancement of AI technologies is reshaping the business landscape at a mind-bending pace. However, this has exposed critical limitations in the murky underpinnings of the classic internet. As AI workloads become increasingly multi-modal, distributed and exponentially larger in size, the need for a new, purpose-built internet infrastructure has rapidly come into the sharpest focus.
Classic internet challenges include:
- Bandwidth constraints
- High latency
- Honours based traffic forwarding
- Legacy protocols unsuited for todays technology
- Lack of visibility, analysis and control
DawnLink: Engineering the Next Generation of Network Infrastructure
Stelia’s new DawnLink™ protocol goes much further than an upgrade to the classic internet; it’s a fundamental clean slate approach to how network infrastructure can support and accelerate modern business operations.
Tobias Hooton, Stelia CEO commented
“This represents a milestone for the new internet, and the first part of how a new world operates. Gone are the days of ordering ‘connectivity’ services, just connect in a Stelia Data Centre anywhere in the world and get building using our range of protocols and packages.”
DawnLink addresses the foundational challenges of AI and beyond through several key innovations:
Programmable Infrastructure:
