Agentic AI rocks the multi-cloud landscape

The Five Nine ·

2026/01/23

AI is massively shaking up the multi-cloud landscape. And we’re here to talk about how. As cloud adoption kicked into gear a few years back, it wasn’t enough to have just one cloud. Suddenly enterprises had deployments scattered here, there and everywhere. That, of course, made for a management nightmare. And just as vendors and enterprises started to get their arms around the problem, AI entered the scene. Suffice to say things are – once again – very messy. #AI #cloud

First, there was machine learning. Then, generative AI. Now, we’re in the midst of the agentic AI revolution. But agentic AI is a waypoint rather than an endpoint. So, what’s next? The answer is physical AI. But what is physical AI, in practical terms? What is it good for, how mature is the technology, what kinds of networks will it need and how can we all prepare for what’s coming?

2025/11/07

Telcos are DROWNING in debt. No, not financial debt, though they do have some of that. We’re talking about crippling amounts of technical and data debt, which could keep telcos on the sidelines of the AI revolution. We’ll be looking at just how bad the situation is, what telcos need to do to make it right, whether they can move fast enough to ride the AI wave and what they stand to gain if they do. #technicaldebt #datadebt #AI #telecomSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy
