A Network Fabric Is The Nervous System of the Agentic Era

As IT teams move from AI pilots to real-world deployment, many are discovering an uncomfortable truth: legacy, siloed networks weren’t designed for agentic AI. When intelligent systems need to reason, decide, and act in real time, cracks in the network quickly become points of failure.

In this report, Zeus Kerravala, Founder and Principal Analyst of ZK Research, explains why the network now plays a central role in AI success, and what must change to support the next era of enterprise intelligence.

Inside the Report

Kerravala makes the case that the network is no longer just infrastructure, but the operational fabric that connects users, devices, applications, and AI systems.

• Why traditional architectures can’t support agentic AI, and where they break down first
• Why the data center is mission-critical for AI training and inference
• How end-to-end fabric enables AI for network operations over the network
• What it takes to turn AI ambition into measurable business impact

By treating the network as a strategic platform, rather than a collection of isolated domains, organizations are better positioned to scale AI with confidence, reliability, and control.
