Cisco is Enabling a New Generation of AI with Ethernet
Organizations around the world are finding exciting new ways to collaborate, manage applications, enhance their digital security, and reimagine customer experiences. Cisco already harnesses AI-powered capabilities across our product and customer service portfolio. They are also leading innovation that enables AI infrastructure. Their vision for AI Network fabrics offers unparalleled programmability, performance, flexibility, and efficiency. And they enable these fabrics with a familiar technology that has broad ecosystem support Ethernet.
Cisco’s Unique Value for Ethernet Fabrics
Cisco expands the value that you can achieve from Ethernet by advancing the economics, agility, choice and innovation even further. Cisco make it possible to standardize switching and routing with a single silicon architecture?Cisco Silicon One. This gives you the option of reducing the complexity of your network architectures by managing one experience across the entire network, across all network functions. To maximize economic benefits, Cisco produces a full range of silicon, systems and optics in a way that transfers economies of scale to the end user. We build silicon with Customer Owned Tooling (COT), rather than using traditional ASIC models, or off shelf components, so that they can eliminate the premiums introduced when adding additional vendors to a value chain and drive end to end innovations.
Cisco offers you the choice of procuring components, white boxes, or fully built systems in your AI Network fabric. Does your business model drive value by building systems and software on top of silicon components? Or do you want ease of deployment by having fully built systems arrive ready for use? Alternatively, you may be in the middle needing a white box shipped to you with the option to customize software that is unique to your own platform. Whichever model you need, you can partner with Cisco.
Their development of silicon offers differentiated capabilities for Ethernet that truly unlock the power of AI Network fabrics. With one architecture, you can build three deployment models that offer increasing degrees of efficiency for precious system resources through multipathing. You may choose to use standard Ethernet for the widest interoperability solution, or an advanced scheduled Ethernet that halves the Job Completion Time (JCT) compared to standard Ethernet, or the middle ground with enhanced Ethernet taking the best from standard and scheduled Ethernet. Because of the innovation and power of Cisco Silicon One, you can confidently use the same network for high throughput, lossless training fabrics, and ultra-low latency inference fabrics.

Conclusion
Ethernet is ready for the next technology transformation. Whether you are fine-tuning your own models, running off-the-shelf models for inference, or building your own large language models, you can be assured that you have a fabric that meets your needs. Cisco will partner with you so that you can build your AI infrastructure in a way that matches your business model.
