AI performance lives beyond the XPU

Deploy validated AI infrastructure faster. Cisco engineers and measures the silicon-to-workload stack as one system to uncover bottlenecks, optimize designs, and reduce risk.

Make every AI investment count

Measure what matters for your workload. Know what your AI environment can deliver—and where to invest, tune, or scale next.

Uncover your true AI TCO

Compare infrastructure requirements, efficiency, and model responsiveness across platforms. See how predictable performance shapes deployment needs and total cost.

Optimize AI performance

Tune AI with end-to-end metrics—from graphics processing unit (GPU) utilization and cluster throughput to tokens per second and latency—across compute, networking, storage, and software for modern AI applications.

Accelerate time to value

Cisco models tests to your AI use cases with industry-standard benchmarks, validating infrastructure before deployment—removing guesswork so you can focus on strategic priorities.

Scale-Across at production scale

Industry's first

"Our MLPerf™ Inference v6.1 results demonstrate that Cisco Silicon One Ethernet can connect NVIDIA H200 and AMD Instinct™ MI350X systems with minimal cross-architecture overhead. The combined service delivered up to 104.7% of their standalone performance."
