SU Ethernet Avoids Ecosystem Lock-In

“AI is a distributed system — and the network is the computer,” says Ram Velaga, senior vice president of Broadcom’s Core Switching Group. In this episode of Tech Disruptors, Velaga joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Kunjan Sobhani to explain how Ethernet is expanding from scale-out AI networking into the scale-up domain, challenging proprietary solutions like NVLink and Infiniband. The discussion covers Broadcom’s Tomahawk 6 and Ultra product lines, its open SUE spec, and why simplicity, bandwidth and vendor neutrality may shape the next generation of AI infrastructure.
