Now, as DynamicLink reaches its first year in production, Zayo is introducing the industry's first production MCP server built for networking, progressing DynamicLink from self-service network control to Agentic Networking. This gives approved AI agents a governed way to understand network conditions, access network tools, and take authorized action.\n\nAgentic Networking brings network context and authorized network actions into the AI workflows enterprises are already building. Agents can use DynamicLink's product and network knowledge resources to understand network conditions, while retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) helps ground interactions in the DynamicLink knowledge base. Organizations define the information, tools, and actions available to agents, with automation, governance, and human oversight remaining in place.\n\nEstablishing cloud-to-cloud connectivity: Coordinate the steps required to connect approved cloud environments without engineers manually moving between multiple systems.\n\nInvestigating network performance: Gather and correlate context across network, cloud, and application environments to help identify the source of an issue and recommend next steps.\n\nCoordinating multi-cloud connectivity: Help teams understand and manage connectivity requirements as workloads move across cloud environments.\n\nResponding to unusual network activity: Surface relevant network context, identify potential issues, and recommend actions for an engineer to review.\n\nExecuting approved network changes: Invoke authorized DynamicLink tools to carry out network or security actions within enterprise-defined controls.\n\nExtending networking into enterprise AI workflows: Enable organizations to build network operations into approved AI agents and workflows beyond the DynamicLink portal.\n\nFor network teams, this means less time moving between systems and coordinating routine tasks and more time focused on higher-value decisions. This efficiency is especially valuable for industries like retail, financial services, healthcare, and media and entertainment organizations managing increasingly data-intensive environments.\n\nRead the full press release [here](https://www.zayo.com/newsroom/zayo-launches-agentic-networking-bringing-ai-agents-directly-into-network-operations/).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zayo-launches-agentic-networking", "canonical_source": "https://www.lightreading.com/ai-machine-learning/zayo-launches-agentic-networking", "published_at": "2026-09-08 13:28:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-09 14:41:55.030021+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Zayo", "DynamicLink"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zayo-launches-agentic-networking", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zayo-launches-agentic-networking.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zayo-launches-agentic-networking.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zayo-launches-agentic-networking.jsonld"}}
