Networking your way
Accelerate AI at scale with secure, intelligent Ethernet networking that boosts GPU utilization, improves power efficiency, simplifies operations, and speeds job completion.
High-performance compute and storage
Get the industry-leading infrastructure you need to meet the processing demands of AI. Deploy full-stack server and storage infrastructure and management from Cisco, NVIDIA, and leading AI storage vendors.
Streamlined development and deployment
Take advantage of NVIDIA AI Enterprise or the Red Hat AI Factory software, Cisco Validated Designs, and professional services from Cisco and partners to accelerate the development and delivery of AI workloads.
Customer support resolution
Resolve issues faster and improve first-contact resolution. Empower representatives to quickly find accurate answers from internal sources like knowledge bases and past tickets.
Employee onboarding and training
Get new employees up and running faster. Let them ask AI agents questions to learn processes, policies, or technical systems.
Sales enablement
Finding information on pricing, compliance, or objection handling can be a chore. With AI-based chat, sales representatives can get real-time answers and meet customer expectations effectively—fast.
Self-service portals
Speed problem resolution and let human agents focus on complex requests. Give customers AI copilots through help centers and portals so they can get context-aware answers from vetted support content.
Marketing content generation
Content marketing just got easier. Use chat-based assistants to draft, edit, and publish content across channels. Great for blogs, emails, social media, product descriptions, and SEO-friendly web copy.
Code generation and developer tasks
Help engineering, DevOps, and infrastructure teams save time and improve accuracy. Give them AI-powered assistants to write, debug, refactor, and document code.
Documentation and article creation
Dealing with a backlog of documentation requests from customers? Product and support teams can generate content like release notes and guides using AI copilots drawing from codebases and support tickets.
Personalized content at scale
Boost campaign performance and maximize ROI. Marketers can generate myriad variations of ads, landing pages, or emails using AI assistants that pull customer data and apply approved templates.
Automated customer support
Make it easier on the customer support team. Let customers use AI chatbots to solve common requests, like order tracking, password resets, or product questions—on any channel, at any time.
Lead qualification and sales support
Want to boost lead quality and conversations, and improve customer experience? Virtual agents can help your customers explore products, align to interest, and get fast-tracked to sales at the right time.
HR and IT virtual assistants
Enhance employee productivity and cut HR and IT tickets. Give employees access to friendly internal chatbots to request time off, reset passwords, or find company policies.
Tailored onboarding and product guidance
Self-serve products come with a risk of churn and user frustration. The right AI assistant can offer contextual tips and answers along the user journey.
Digital twins
Allow for testing, optimization, and predictive analysis without affecting the physical operations for manufacturing, smart cities, and energy systems. Use real-time, interactive 3D models to simulate, monitor, and optimize operations.
Video analytics
Raw footage isn't insight. AI can transform video into actionable data for security teams, city planners, and operations managers in public or enterprise spaces.
Imaging and diagnostics
Better imaging equals better outcomes. Computer vision can enhance medical imaging for faster diagnoses, early disease detection, and better radiologist support.
Real-time multilingual customer support
Language shouldn't be a barrier. Let generative AI instantly translate chats, emails, and tickets while empowering global teams to support users in any language.
Multilingual content localization
Lost in translation? Not anymore. Marketers can use AI to localize content and product documentation while maintaining the company's brand voice and scaling for global reach.
Internal knowledge base translation
Knowledge is power—if you can read it. Use generative AI to overcome language barriers and translate internal documents and training materials to support global teams.
Voice transcription and translation
Everyone deserves to be heard—and understood. Foster collaboration by using AI to transcribe and translate meetings in real time for inclusive and clear communication.
Fraud detection
Fraud is a pattern and AI can see it. Teams managing risk and compliance across banking, insurance, and online commerce can use AI to catch threats early and keep legitimate activity flowing.
Churn prediction
Act before customers leave. Marketing teams can spot early signs of churn by using AI, so they can launch personalized retention campaigns before it's too late.
Demand forecasting
Too much or too little can cost you when it comes to inventory, staffing, and logistics. Empower agile decisions across the board by using AI to predict demand shifts in real time.
Predictive maintenance
Don't wait for machines to fail. AI can use sensor and usage data to spot early warning signs, so you can act fast. You'll minimize downtime and maintenance costs and extend equipment life.
