A new paradigm is reshaping cloud infrastructure: neoclouds. These AI-first next-gen cloud providers are building GPU-dense platforms designed for the unrelenting scale and performance demands of modern machine learning. Unlike traditional cloud providers retrofitting existing infrastructure, neoclouds are purpose-building AI-native fabrics from the ground up—where every GPU cycle counts and every packet matters. In these […]
Today’s AI clusters can no longer be confined within a single data center. Instead, a “scale-across” approach is needed to seamlessly extend AI workloads and optimize resources across multiple data center locations. Cisco is introducing the Cisco 8223, our latest addition to the Cisco 8000 fixed series routers based on the groundbreaking Silicon One P200 ASIC, optimized for deep-buffered WAN and Data Center Interconnect.
For customers seeking choice and open-source solutions for their network operating systems, Cisco offers robust support for SONiC on Silicon One and Cisco 8000 Series Switches. This approach empowers organizations to select the network operating system that best fits their operational needs while taking full advantage of Cisco industry-leading hardware capabilities.
AI is starting to push data center interconnect (DCI) capacity towards higher speeds. Since the cost structure of DCI is usually based on bandwidth usage, costs will quickly multiply, as enterprises will need more circuits to support increased capacity demands. A less costly alternative for enterprises is to lease dark fiber from service providers and create their own private network.
SRv6 uSID has revolutionized IP network architectures by simplifying operations, adding robustness, and delivering best-in-class user experiences across service provider, hyperscaler, enterprise, and data center networks.
How are massive paradigm shifts in the market driving innovations in networking? Take a look at how global backbone networks like Arelion, which experienced a 42% growth in Internet traffic in 2024, are working with Cisco on their journey towards AI-ready connectivity.
Cisco Scales Internet for the Future with New 800G Innovations. Service providers and cloud operators are looking to scale for today and the future to keep up with user demands. With our modular 800G systems we can offer higher quality and insightful experiences.
Join us for Episode 32 of the Cisco Optics Podcast, where we continue our conversation with Ammar Khan, Product Management Leader for the Cisco’s 8000 Series Router.
