What is ONUG AI Networking Summit New York about?

ONUG’s AI Networking Summit comes to New York with a focus on what it takes to run AI-native infrastructure in production, not just pilot it. The agenda centers on building an AI-native enterprise network fabric, governing agentic network operations, and getting the economics of AI infrastructure right, with executive-level sessions aimed at aligning leadership on how to scale what’s been built.

BlueCat is a Thought Leader sponsor of the summit. Scott Fulton, BlueCat’s chief product and technology officer, is among the speakers.

For network and DDI teams, the questions this summit raises are practical ones: what does the operating model look like when infrastructure has to respond to AI workloads instead of just carry them, and who governs the agents making changes to the network. That’s squarely DDI territory, and it’s worth showing up with answers.

Inside the event

Previous editions of the AI Networking Summit have drawn more than 1,000 attendees and 45-plus sponsors, with over 40 vendor proofs of concept and solutions on display. This New York edition follows that pattern, with sessions built around real deployments rather than roadmaps: FedEx has discussed running AI at global scale while keeping trust, security, and control intact, and other main-stage talks have tackled the shift from traditional NOCs to agentic operations centers, and the re-platforming the industry is undergoing as AI forces a new operating model on network teams.

How BlueCat fits ONUG AI Networking Summit New York

Attendees here are wrestling with what it takes to run AI-native infrastructure once the pilots are over: building a fabric that can carry agentic workloads, governing autonomous operations teams can actually trust, and making the economics of that scale defensible to leadership.

A fabric that can't hide

Unified DDI

Agentic operations and AI-native fabric both depend on infrastructure that can be queried and trusted, not guessed at. Integrity gives large, complex environments a single authoritative source for DNS, DHCP, and IP address data, the record of truth an AI system or an operations team needs before it can act with confidence. Micetro brings the same authoritative visibility to mid-sized and branch networks by orchestrating existing DNS, DHCP, and IPAM services without ripping them out, useful when the summit’s re-platforming conversation runs into budget or timeline reality. Cloud DNS Service extends that authority across multiple cloud providers for organizations whose AI workloads span more than one cloud. Horizon takes a different path entirely: a SaaS-first platform unifying DNS, DHCP, IPAM, security, and observability in one control plane, for teams that want to manage that foundation as a service rather than build and run it themselves.

Seeing what the agents are doing

Network observability

Trusting an agentic operations center means being able to see what’s actually happening on the network underneath it, not just what the automation reports. LiveNX brings performance monitoring, packet capture, and predictive health tools to that problem, while LiveAssist adds AI-powered analysis and automated root cause detection inside LiveNX, cutting the time between an anomaly and an answer. LiveWire gives NetOps and SecOps teams packet-level forensics for the performance and security questions agentic systems will raise but can’t always answer themselves. LiveAssurance scans infrastructure for risk and surfaces proven remediation before small issues become outages, and Omnipeek gives engineers deep packet analysis for the complex cases that automated tools flag but can’t fully resolve. For service providers scaling AI infrastructure across many customer networks, LiveSP unifies observability and reporting into one multi-tenant platform.

Who should attend?

ONUG AI Networking Summit New York is for enterprise IT, network, and infrastructure leaders responsible for building AI-native network fabric, governing agentic operations, and aligning their organizations on how to scale AI infrastructure.

Solving these challenges with BlueCat

Governing agentic operations and scaling AI infrastructure both depend on knowing what’s on your network and being able to trust the answer. BlueCat gives you that foundation: authoritative DNS, DHCP, and IP address management data that AI-native systems and the people running them can act on with confidence. When your network fabric can’t hide, agentic operations have something real to govern.
