Meeting the demands of the AI era means that a new level of hyper-resilience is vital—delivering unprecedented bandwidth, energy efficiency, performance, and automation—across both core and edge environments. Read this blog to see what’s being announced at Cisco Live in Amsterdam this week for the AI infrastructure and networking portfolio.
AI infrastructure buildouts are shifting towards a focus on energy efficiency and operational costs, driving the need for increasingly high-performance networks. Discover how the 102.4T Cisco Silicon One G300 network switch delivers the scale, efficiency, and intelligence needed for the next era of AI.
For communications service providers (CSPs), AI isn't just a trend to watch—it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become pivotal players in a fundamentally reshaped economy, unlocking significant new revenue streams.
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 […]
Cisco is proud to continue our efforts to accelerate scale-up connectivity as an initial member of the Open Compute Project’s (OCP) Ethernet for Scale-Up Networking (ESUN) collaboration.
Announcing the Cisco 8223, powered by Cisco Silicon One P200 for scale-across networking demands. It’s engineered to handle what's next.
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.
Cisco Silicon One has reached a pivotal milestone with the launch of the Cisco 8223—powered by Silicon One P200—delivering an unprecedented 51.2 Tbps capacity that sets the industry standard for the emerging "scale-across" era, where AI workloads must be distributed geographically due to power constraints that have become the primary limiting factor in AI scaling. This groundbreaking routing system uniquely converges routing and switching capabilities with unmatched power efficiency, advanced programmability, and uncompromising security—enabling hyperscalers to confidently architect distributed AI environments that seamlessly extend across broad geographical regions for sustained AI innovation and growth.
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.
