Cisco Scales AI Networking with New Silicon and Systems
"At AI-factory scale, performance is no longer determined by the network or the data layer alone - it’s defined by how tightly they work together. Cisco’s Silicon One G300–powered Nexus platforms provide the deterministic, high-bandwidth fabric required for agentic and GPU-dense environments"
Sven Oehme, CTO
DDN
Building the future of global connectivity
"We talk with Cisco on a daily basis about how we can make the network better and make deliveries as smooth as possible. The network is not up 100% of the time, so transparency and a deep understanding of how the network is performing—that’s the key to customer experience."
Mattias B. Fridström, Vice President and Chief Evangelist
Arelion
Cisco empowers service providers to reimagine networks for AI
"Cisco is committed to helping service providers make their networks simpler, more resilient, and more intelligent with new Silicon One-powered platforms, coherent pluggable optics, and software enhancements."
