SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., - December 11, 2019 - Cisco today unveiled further details behind its technology strategy for building a new internet - one designed to push digital innovation beyond the performance, economic and power consumption limitations of current infrastructure. A multi-year approach that is defining the Internet for decades to come, Cisco's strategy is already delivering technology breakthroughs to pave the way for the world's developers to create applications and services they have only begun to imagine.
Cisco introduced its latest innovation including Cisco Silicon OneTM, the industry's only networking silicon architecture of its kind; released the new Cisco 8000 Series, the world's most powerful carrier class routers built on the new silicon; and announced new purchasing options that enable customers to consume the company's technology through disaggregated business models.
Innovation requires focused investment, the right team and a culture that values imagination, said Chuck Robbins, chairman and CEO of Cisco. We are dedicated to transforming the industry to build a new internet for the 5G era. Our latest solutions in silicon, optics and software represent the continued innovation were driving that helps our customers stay ahead of the curve and create new, ground-breaking experiences for their customers and end users for decades to come.
Building Blocks for the Internet for the Future
Over the next decade, digital experiences will be created with advanced technologies - virtual and augmented reality, 16K streaming, AI, 5G, 10G, quantum computing, adaptive and predictive cybersecurity, intelligent IOT, and others not yet invented. These future generations of applications will drive complexity beyond the capabilities current internet infrastructure can viably support.
For the past five years, Cisco has driven a technology strategy that is building the internet our customers will need for the future success of their business in an advanced digital world. Aimed at solving the toughest problems that will emerge as digital transformation taxes current infrastructure to its breaking point, this strategy will lead to the next-generation of internet infrastructure that combines Cisco's new silicon architecture with its next-generation of optics. Cisco's strategy will change the economics behind how the internet will be built to support the demands of future, digital applications and will enable customers to operate their businesses with simpler, more cost-effective networks.
Cisco's strategy is based on development and investments in three key technology areas: silicon, optics and software.
Pushing the boundaries of innovation to the next level - far beyond what we experience today - is critical for the future and we believe silicon, optics and software are the technology levers that will deliver this outcome, said David Goeckeler, executive vice president and general manager of the Networking and Security Business at Cisco. Cisco's technology strategy is not about the next-generation of a single product area. We have spent the past several years investing in whole categories of independent technologies that we believe will converge in the future - and ultimately will allow us to solve the hardest problems on the verge of eroding the advancement of digital innovation. This strategy is delivering the most ambitious development project the company has ever achieved.
Introducing Cisco Silicon One - Breakthrough Unified, Programmable Silicon Architecture
The new Cisco Silicon One will be the foundation of Cisco's routing portfolio going forward, with expected near-term performance availability up to 25 Terabits per second (Tbps). This is the industry's first networking chip designed to be universally adaptable across service provider and web-scale markets. Designed for both fixed and modular platforms, it can manage the most challenging requirements in a way that's never been done before. The first Cisco Silicon One Q100' model surpasses the 10 Tbps routing milestone for network bandwidth without sacrificing programmability, buffering, power efficiency, scale or feature flexibility.
Traditionally, multiple types of silicon with different capabilities are used across a network and even within a single device. Developing new features and testing can be lengthy and expensive. Unified and programmable silicon will allow for network operators to greatly reduce costs of operations and reduce time-to-value for new services.
We look forward to working with Cisco as it enters the high-end routing silicon space, collaborating to help meet the next generation of network demands for higher speeds and greater capacity, said Amin Vahdat, fellow and vice president of Systems Infrastructure, Google Cloud.
Facebook has been a strong advocate for network disaggregation and open ecos
