At Cisco Live 2025, the networking giant rolled out a sweeping agenda to make AI not just powerful, but practical — and secure. In this episode, we caught up with leaders from Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT to talk about what this year's announcements actually mean for enterprise teams tasked with building scalable, secure, AI-ready infrastructure. From the rise of the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA to the reality of agentic workflows and persistent inference traffic, this episode unpacks the architectural shifts reshaping the modern data center.

As AI innovation intensifies, one domain is already feeling the impact: software development. In this episode, WWT experts Nate McKie and Andrew Athan explore how AI-powered coding assistants are improving developer productivity and reshaping enterprise engineering. From Copilot to agentic tools capable of autonomous code generation, they examine how organizations are navigating this transition, balancing speed with quality and redefining the role of human developers. Whether you're leading a dev team or charting your company's AI roadmap, this is a must-listen for understanding the real-world implications of AI in engineering.

Agentic AI systems have the potential to work together, but not yet at scale. This episode breaks down two emerging standards — Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication. Both promise modular AI integration, safer data flows, and agentic collaboration that actually scales. WWT engineer Sally Jankovic and AI advisor David Geddam explain why these protocols are becoming essential infrastructure for enterprise AI.
