Preparing for Cisco 8000 Series Routers
With great technology solutions, comes great responsibility — for the teams that manage them and the ones who empower them.
Cisco 8000 Series Routers
SONiC in the Real World
Cisco has teamed up with Microsoft to present our unique vendor and operator perspectives on Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) enablement. Join our team for the first in a series of collaborativley-authored blogs on building and
Try the New 8000 Emulator Sandbox for SONiC
A modern, cloud-scale data center network requires resilient server-to-server communication. When faced with a rapid increase in the number of devices on the network, Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) can help in the most demanding
Meet Rapidly Scaling Cloud Data Center Requirements with SONiC
Learn how SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) allows cloud operators to share the same software stack across hardware from multiple vendors. See how the SONiC Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) enables ASIC and hardware abstraction and
Assessing the Real-World Environmental Impact of Routers
Networking equipment power claims are complicated. Is it chip, card, or system power being stated, and how was it evaluated? To pursue more energy-efficient routers and switches, we need to understand what this really means.
Cisco and SONiC
On November 9th and 10th, we had the opportunity to showcase our commitment at the 2021 Open Compute Project Global Summit with a demo scaling a next generation data center with SONiC VXLAN on the Cisco 8000 for customers wanting a fully integrated
Keeping Cool with QSFP-DD800 Optics
History has been very clear that for broad industry adoption of the 800G generation, an optical pluggable form factor must be judged on: (1) Backwards compatibility with previous generation optics (2) 100G+ electrical performance (3) Excellent thermal
Expanding the Cisco 8000 Router Series
One year ago, we announced the Cisco 8000 Series routers, combining the revolutionary Cisco Silicon One chipset and Cisco IOS XR, to deliver a breakthrough in high-performance routers. Discover how we expanded the Cisco 8000 Series routers over the
PacketFabric Deploys 400G on Cisco Silicon One
I recently had a virtual chat with PacketFabric CEO, Dave Ward. If you’re not familiar with PacketFabric, you will be soon. They are quickly becoming an industry mover and shaker in the Network-as-a-Service and next-gen Service Provider (ngSP) space.
