About Kannan Venugopal
I bridge the gap between traditional hyperscale networking and the unique demands of modern AI Factories. With over 15 years of infrastructure experience, including a decade at Microsoft Azure, I have architected the high-performance network fabrics that power some of the world\'s largest AI training and inference clusters (OpenAI).My expertise lies in solving the \'Day 2\' challenges of AI infrastructure: optimizing GPU utilization through low-latency fabric design (RoCEv2/InfiniBand), minimizing training interruptions, and designing cost-efficient topologies for H100/B200 deployments. Now at Lambda, I help customers navigate the complexities of building and scaling next-gen compute environments.
