Ray Testa’s Post

I'm elated to share that I've joined Aria Networks, Inc. as Head of Global Sales. AI is fundamentally changing how data centers are designed. As GPU clusters continue to grow in size and complexity, the network has become a critical determinant of performance, utilization, and ultimately, the economics of AI. Aria is building an AI-native networking platform designed specifically for modern AI infrastructure We combine high-performance Ethernet switching, intelligent SONiC-based software, and microsecond telemetry to help customers maximize GPU utilization and lower the cost of AI infrastructure. What excites me most isn't just the technology, its about the people and mission.  The opportunity to help define a new category alongside an exceptional team led by Mansour Karam and support of Stefan Dyckerhoff,  and incredible group of engineers, customers, and partners. Over the coming months, my focus will be on building a world-class global revenue organization, expanding our ecosystem of customers and partners, and helping organizations deploy AI infrastructure that delivers measurable business value. I'm grateful to everyone who has been part of my journey from my days at Cisco, Juniper, AWS, Elastic, Denvr, BigID, and the many customers, mentors, teammates, and friends who have shaped my career. The AI infrastructure market is just getting started, and I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead. If you're building AI infrastructure, operating large-scale GPU clusters, or looking to partner in this rapidly evolving space, I'd love to connect. Its been so fun reconnecting with friends and colleagues I have gotten to know throughout my career. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Networking #Ethernet #DataCenter #GPU #AIInfrastructure #SONiC #Startups #Leadership #Sales #AriaNetworks
