The AI-Ready Platform the Edge Demands
In an era where data is generated at the edge, the status quo of siloed infrastructure—separate switches, routers, and servers—is no longer sustainable. Cisco Unified Edge is a fully validated, full-stack system designed to converge network, compute, storage, and security into a single, modular platform. Whether you are scaling retail operations, automating manufacturing, or enhancing healthcare outcomes, Cisco Unified Edge provides the performance, simplicity, and security required to power the next decade of AI-driven innovation.
Why Cisco Unified Edge?
Cisco Unified Edge bridges the gap between complex edge requirements and business agility. By consolidating hardware and automating lifecycle management, we enable you to deploy faster, scale smarter, and operate more securely.
- Converged Full-Stack Infrastructure: Networking, compute, storage, and security from the edge up. Integrating a 25G internal fabric eliminates the need for external switches within the chassis, keeping traffic local and fast.
- Unified Global Fleet Management: Shift from manual, site-by-site maintenance to automated, centralized control. Cisco Intersight® enables you to manage your edge like a unified fleet, using standardized blueprints to deploy "golden configurations" across thousands of locations. This zero-touch approach slashes operational complexity, minimizes manual errors, and drastically reduces the need for costly on-site IT support.
- High-Performance AI at the Edge: Power your most intensive AI workloads with a platform built for speed and intelligence. Featuring the Intel® Xeon® 6 SoC with native AI inferencing (AMX) and support for NVIDIA L4/L40S GPUs, Cisco Unified Edge delivers the compute density required for real-time decision-making. With integrated confidential computing (TDX & SGX), you can run sensitive AI models securely, keeping your proprietary data protected at the source.
- Security Fused into the Network: Security is not an add-on; it is built-in. With hardware roots of trust, physical intrusion detection, and automated policy enforcement (including SASE and Zero-Trust), your edge remains protected from the device to the data center.
- Modular and Future-Proof Design: 3RU chassis designed for serviceability with hot-swappable modules. As your business needs evolve, you can add compute, networking, or storage capacity without the cost and downtime of "forklift" upgrades.
Validated Ecosystem Flexibility:
We provide a platform that adapts to your software preferences. Cisco Unified Edge is validated for leading software stacks, including Nutanix, Red Hat Edge Stack, VMware, and SUSE, ensuring your existing applications run seamlessly on high-performance hardware.
