How Aryaka Unified SASE Accelerates & Secures the Growing Adoption of Generative AI Workloads

Generative AI is revolutionizing industries, driving automation, enhancing creativity, and improving decision-making across diverse applications. Businesses are increasingly leveraging AI-powered tools—from chatbots and virtual assistants to advanced analytics and content generation—to boost efficiency and innovation. However, the rapid adoption of Gen AI also introduces new challenges, including rising network infrastructure costs and the need for seamless, high-performance networking and security to support AI workloads.

Even the emergence of powerful platforms like DeepSeek further underscores the growing demand for scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions to deploy and manage AI-driven applications efficiently.

The Challenges of AI-Driven Workloads

Organizations leveraging Gen AI must navigate complex requirements, including:

• Massive Data Transfers – AI models require vast amounts of data for training and inference, creating bandwidth constraints and performance bottlenecks.
• Low-Latency Connectivity – Real-time AI applications demand ultra-low latency to function efficiently.
• Multi-Cloud & Edge AI Deployments – AI workloads are often distributed across cloud providers, edge locations, and data centers, requiring seamless, high-performance connectivity.
• Security & Compliance – AI models process sensitive data, necessitating strict security policies to prevent breaches and ensure compliance.
• Scalability & Cost Control – Traditional network architectures struggle to scale efficiently while keeping costs manageable.

This isn’t just speculation, businesses and everyday users are expressing their concerns and challenges posed by Gen AI:

• A significant number of organizations (55-70%) acknowledge that they need at least a year to resolve adoption challenges such as governance, training, talent, trust, and data issues—and they’re willing to put in the time.
