The third dimension of AI networking has arrived
Announcing the Cisco 8223, powered by Cisco Silicon One P200 for scale-across networking demands. It’s engineered to handle what's next.
Scale-Across
The New Benchmark for Distributed AI Networking
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 P200 Powers the First 51.2T Scale-Across Routing Systems
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.
