Cisco has unveiled a series of AI-focused innovations at the Cisco Live Conference in Amsterdam, presented to an audience of over 21,000 IT professionals. The announcements highlight enhancements designed to support customers in scaling secure Agentic AI while providing capabilities across networking, security, observability, and sovereignty within a unified platform.
Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, noted, "Today’s announcements highlight the power of Cisco as a unified platform."
Central to the updates is the Silicon One G300, which enables customers to expand AI clusters. With Intelligent Collective Networking, the G300 improves network utilisation by 33% and job completion times by 28%. The G300-powered N9100 and 8000 systems are aimed at hyperscalers, neoclouds, sovereign private deployments, service providers, and enterprises.
Cisco also introduced Nexus One, a unified management plane to streamline operations across cloud-based and on-premises deployments. Together, these tools are intended to simplify AI infrastructure management and improve operational efficiency in data centres.
AgenticOps innovations are being applied across Cisco’s portfolio to enhance automation and IT operations. Leveraging cross-domain telemetry from Cisco Networking, Security Cloud Control, Cisco Nexus One, and Splunk, the updates provide new tools and platform enhancements across security and observability.
Updates to Cisco AI Defense focus on AI supply chain governance and runtime protections, reducing the risk of compromise or misuse. Enhancements to Cisco Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) include intent-aware inspections to evaluate agentic interactions.
For organisations with specific sovereignty requirements, Cisco Customer Experience (CX) offers support for air-gapped, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
The expansion of Cisco Critical National Services Centers (CNSCs) in the UK, France, and Spain provides additional support for organisations with strict data-handling needs. Building on its existing presence in Germany, Cisco is also developing a new CNSC in Italy to further strengthen its support infrastructure across Europe.
