Enterprise AI is entering a new phase. While the first wave of generative AI focused on human productivity and content creation, the next wave — agentic AI — will fundamentally change how organizations operate. Agentic AI systems are capable of reasoning, planning, making decisions and executing actions across applications, workflows and business processes with minimal human intervention. As organizations move toward agentic frameworks that can independently resolve customer issues, optimize supply chains, manage infrastructure, coordinate workflows and even operate IT environments, one reality becomes clear: The network becomes the nervous system of the autonomous enterprise. The infrastructure requirements of agentic AI differ dramatically from those of traditional applications. These systems are highly distributed, continuously exchanging information, interacting with APIs, accessing multiple data sources and making decisions in real time.
