Scaling Cloud Networks: Lessons from a Cloud Leader Who Built a 25T Backbone

The demand for robust, scalable, and reliable network infrastructure has never been greater as businesses shift their operations to the cloud in record numbers. Kapil Patil, Principal Technical Program Manager at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), led the development of a 25-terabit (25T) backbone network at Oracle and shares invaluable insights from his work scaling some of the largest cloud infrastructures in the world. Building resilient and scalable cloud networks for companies of all sizes is essential. Kapil believes the future of cloud networking means building networks that are not only scalable but also resilient and secure.
Understanding the unique demands of hyperscaler clients is critical when you're dealing with clients like Uber and Nvidia, you're not just managing large amounts of data, you're managing data that has to move fast and securely across the globe. High availability and minimal downtime are also imperative. Building a network that minimizes these risks is a top priority.
The use of automation and AI to manage complexity is integral to scaling cloud networks. As cloud networks grow, the complexity of managing those networks grows exponentially. Proactive network management is becoming increasingly important as companies adopt multi-cloud strategies and distribute workloads across various platforms. AI allows us to automate many of the repetitive tasks that come with managing large networks.
The future of cloud networking will be shaped by the ability to build networks that are not only scalable but also resilient and secure. Ensuring that networks can grow, adapt, and protect that data will be the key to success as data becomes the most valuable asset for many businesses.
One of the major initiatives Kapil is currently leading involves transforming OCI’s backbone network to support the next generation of cloud computing. By implementing cutting-edge technologies like 400G links and high-capacity routers, Kapil’s team is preparing for the next wave of digital transformation.
Kapil’s work at Oracle provides a masterclass in how to build resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure that can meet the growing demands of hyperscaler enterprises. By leveraging automation, AI, and proactive management strategies, Kapil has demonstrated that the key to scaling cloud networks lies in anticipating future needs and building with flexibility in mind.
Kapil’s career highlights his expertise in cloud networking and his ability to drive innovation. As cloud computing evolves, leaders like Kapil will be at the forefront of ensuring that the networks powering our digital world are equipped to handle the demands of tomorrow.
