AI at the edge represents unique challenges

Edge infrastructure must deliver high throughput, low latency, lossless connectivity, and layered security for demanding AI workloads.  

AI-ready edge

Full-stack, converged compute architecture unifies compute, networking, and storage into a single platform, supported by a vast partner ecosystem. Modular design, high-performance networks, and pre-validated designs provide fast, agile, and uninterrupted AI operations.

Unified operations

Accelerate AI rollouts with zero-touch deployment and pre-validated blueprints. Centralized management and automated operations simplify scaling, troubleshooting, and upgrades without needing field specialists. Democratized edge management at scale with end-to-end observability.

Security at every layer

Multilayered, zero-trust security protects AI environments from device to data center with tamper-proof features built into the hardware and deep telemetry across the infrastructure. Consistent policies, drift-free configurations, and audit trails ensure resilience and safeguard compliance as operations scale.

AI-ready platform for the edge

Cisco Unified Edge is a full-stack computing platform optimized for the edge with centralized management and lifecycle operations—all protected with multilayer, zero-trust security built in.
