Cisco Launches Routing System to Connect Data Centers, Power AI Workloads

By Connor Hart 




  Cisco is launching a new routing system built for the intense traffic of artificial-intelligence workloads between data centers. 



  Routing systems use AI algorithms to direct and manage the flow of tasks, information, or requests in various systems and applications. 



  The networking-equipment company said Wednesday that its new routing system, Cisco 8223, is optimized to efficiently and securely connect data centers and power the next generation of AI workloads. 



  "AI compute is outgrowing the capacity of even the largest data center, driving the need for reliable, secure connection of data centers hundreds of miles apart," said Martin Lund, executive vice president of Cisco's common hardware group. Cisco 8223 will deliver the bandwidth, scale and security needed for distributed data center architectures, he added. 



  The system, powered by the company's P200 chip, is now shipping to initial hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Alibaba Group and Lumen Technologies, Cisco said.
