This presentation from AI Infrastructure Field Day demonstrates how to design AI data centers using Juniper Networks' Apstra platform, with a focus on rail-optimized designs. Learn how Apstra enables the creation of a fully functional network architecture in minutes through native modeling for specialized AI infrastructure. Kyle Baxter, Head of Apstra Product Management at Juniper Networks, shows how the platform simplifies the complex process of deploying AI/ML fabrics by allowing users to input basic requirements like GPU and server counts, then automatically generating design options including detailed cabling maps. Discover how to visualize and validate designs before ordering hardware, build reusable templates for different architectures such as collapsed rail or L3 Clos, and manage various network types within a single instance. The presentation also covers Apstra's configuration generation capabilities across multiple vendors, continuous monitoring features, and integration options through REST APIs, Python SDKs, Terraform providers, and Ansible support. Recorded live in Santa Clara, California on April 23, 2025, as part of AI Infrastructure Field Day.
