Day Two of Networking Field Day 38 is here and packed with great presentations! cPacket is discussing the latest advancements in its Network Observability platform, emphasizing AI-driven innovations and real-time service assurance. Erik Rudin, Mark Grodzinsky, and Ron Nevo are showcasing how packet-level observability enables immediate detection of transport-layer issues, accelerates MTTR, and enhances proactive monitoring across complex environments like real-time video, distributed infrastructure, and AI workloads. The sessions explore compliance, NOC-SOC convergence, and seamless integration with platforms such as ServiceNow and Slack, demonstrating how cPacket empowers IT and security teams with actionable insights, faster resolution, and greater operational resilience.

Networking Field Day 38 is right around the corner, July 9 - 10, 2025! 🌐 Summer is hot and Networking Field Day promises to be even hotter! We’re ready to bring you some great conversations about the direction networking is taking from the data center to the edge and back again. Grab your sunglasses and get ready to experience that shine that only comes from the greatest show in Silicon Valley. Our event starts out on Wednesday July 9, 2025 with a presentation from Aviz Networks. We’re going to sit down with them and talk about their perspectives on the changing landscape of networking and the workloads that depend on it. We talked to their team briefly at Tech Field Day Extra at Cisco Live US but this is the place to hear all about how they are building networks for AI as well as building AI for networking. We’re following that with one of our highly-rated Networking Field Day Delegate Roundtable discussions. This is the chance for the delegates to answer the questions and give their perspectives on the state of the networking industry. The topic is sure to generate a lot of discussion so make sure you’re tuned in for it! After lunch we’re back with Hedgehog. They presented last year and set up a big target for 2025. They’re back to talk all about their Transit Gateway and the success that it has had in bringing the ease of cloud networking back to the data center. They’re even bringing in a customer to talk about what he likes about their solution. We’re keeping the energy flowing on Wednesday, July 10 with a presentation from cPacket. They are highlighting how taking trillions of packets and billions of sessions and gleaning information from them all can help deliver precise insights to help resolve issues faster. No matter what type of networking you’re using they have a solution to help you know more about it. We’re wrapping up Wednesday with a presentation from HPE Aruba Networking. They can’t wait to bring a great technical discussion about their complete portfolio from AIOps to Wi-Fi 7 with unified security and smart switching everywhere. It’s been an exciting time for them over the past year and we can’t wait to learn more about it all! Networking Field Day will be live Wednesday, July 9 and Thursday, July 10.
