Navigating the AI Frontier with Cisco

Contemporary from one other impactful Cisco Dwell EMEA, the excitement round Synthetic Intelligence (AI) is simple. AI stands as a brand new frontier for companies, a beacon of innovation in our swiftly evolving panorama. On Companion Day, I addressed a packed room of our companions, delving into Cisco’s decade-long journey with AI. Cisco’s experience goes past deploying AI options at scale; it extends to our revolutionary AI-driven portfolio. Our strategy to powering, connecting, securing, and observing AI in all its varieties empowers companions and prospects to harness its transformative potential. Cisco’s substantial historical past positions us strategically, permitting us to play a pivotal function within the ever-evolving AI panorama.

Trying again to the long run

Cisco’s foresight led to the reimagining of silicon from the bottom as much as gasoline AI infrastructures. In 2019, anticipating the Web for the Future, Cisco challenged how networking chips have been constructed to create a groundbreaking class of silicon—Cisco Silicon One. Immediately, Cisco is uniquely geared up to construct scalable infrastructure for powering the immense AI workloads required for Generative AI. Generative AI has crossed the brink of technological and financial viability, unlocking new alternatives to create worth. It’s changing into extra intuitive and accessible, and Cisco is leveraging it as a extremely efficient software to handle prospects’ enterprise challenges and drive profitable outcomes.

Unmatched breadth and scale of information

Cisco’s AI infrastructure boasts an unmatched breadth and scale of information to feed it, enabling purposes and optimizing a linked portfolio to safe it. The inspiration of AI performance lies in large underlying information in addition to entry to cloud and Web information. Leveraging our intensive scale throughout enterprises, service suppliers, webscalers, and governments allows Cisco to securely seize extra networking information than another participant within the trade. This huge dataset offers us with a novel perspective and visibility into the community, permitting us to ship trusted end-to-end community assurance—setting us aside in our capabilities.

Harnessing the Energy of AI Innovation

Our AI investments pave the way in which for larger outcomes and alternatives for predictive and Generative AI throughout our portfolio. For our companions, we goal to help accelerated automation and scaled operations by offering entry to the most recent AI-driven improvements and options. Cisco is strategically positioned to maximise these applied sciences in safety, collaboration, networking, and observability.

Our AI-driven Safety Cloud Platform spans the community, endpoint, and the Cloud, simplifying safety administration and rising efficacy. Our scale in safety permits us to construct menace intelligence by analyzing 625B every day net requests and in flip assist us cease tens of millions of assaults. Every single day, we observe 400B safety occasions, analysis 1.6M new malware samples, and take 630B observability metrics, permitting us to offer proactive visibility, eradicate silos and obtain quicker imply time to decision.
Our collaboration portfolio allows our prospects to work anyplace, whereas making certain a seamless expertise with the ability of AI. Staggering stats like eradicating 97B minutes of background noise exemplify our use of AI. Cisco is redefining the workplace expertise by integrating AI, creating an AI-connected fashionable office that feels straightforward, human, and safe.
In networking, Cisco’s latest announcement of its Silicon One G200 underscores our dedication to enhanced Ethernet-based AI/ML and web-scale backbone deployments. This highly effective networking chip handles AI/ML workloads, bettering the efficiency of an Ethernet-based community and considerably scale back job completion time.
There’s a rising want for Observability throughout the stack as a result of swift adoption of Generative AI and its increasing function in software program creation. Along with the just lately launched FSO platform, Cisco launched Mannequin Observability, empowering prospects to watch each fashions and APIs.

We’ve stated earlier than that Cisco and our companions are larger collectively. As we navigate the ever-expanding frontiers of Synthetic Intelligence along with our companions, Cisco stands on the forefront—not merely as an observer however as a catalyst for transformative change. Our journey, rooted in a long time of AI experience, propels us to energy, join, safe, and observe AI in ways in which empower our companions and prospects to embrace its full potential.

Cisco is not only navigating the long run; we’re actively shaping it. With a dedication to powering workloads, leveraging information intelligently, propelling innovation, and harnessing the true energy of AI, we’re trailblazing in direction of a future the place know-how seamlessly integrates into our lives.
