Asserting the primary Cisco 800G Nexus Change
It’s the week of the Open Compute Undertaking International Summit a convention that pulls the most important names representing cloud suppliers, colo-facilities, enterprises, telco service suppliers, media, and authorities entities, a bunch who construct and function excessive efficiency infrastructure. Our clients are right here in pressure and yesterday we launched our blueprint for serving to cloud service suppliers (each hyper scalers and webscale clients) ship richer cloud purposes and providers, whereas balancing their wants for increased efficiency, value efficient, but extra environment friendly, therefore extra sustainable networking infrastructure.
For our Cloud Networking clients, 2022 seems to be a block buster yr. It was solely in June that I wrote about thrilling new 400G Nexus platforms. All of those at the moment are delivery. This week I’m proud to announce the addition of the primary 800G Nexus product to the wealthy Nexus portfolio. The Nexus 9232E is a 1RU Nexus change with 32ports of 800G.
So, what use case wants an 800G change? I don’t assume there’s a dispute that the tempo and scale of information middle networking buildouts is accelerating. Two enjoyable information:
- In 2011, the primary yr of the OCP occasion, the complete quantity of information created and saved on this planet was just below two zettabytes. In 2022, that’s anticipated to develop to almost 100 zettabytes.
- Equally, the variety of customers (by MAU or month-to-month energetic customers) for Meta providers, who was one of many founding members of OCP, grew from 845 million in 2011 to almost 3 billion in the present day.
What’s turning into clearer are the various use circumstances for AI/ML for each community operations crew in addition to utility groups. AI/ML capabilities are essential for digital twin sort predictability of community change outcomes in addition to for modeling extremely custom-made utility outcomes in the actual and meta world. Certainly, by 2025, 44 % of world information created within the core and edge will likely be pushed by analytics, synthetic intelligence, and deep studying, and by an rising variety of IoT units feeding information to the enterprise edge.
It’s no marvel that our clients are actively searching for progressive options addressing their key questions:
- How do I deal with visitors/ information progress whereas coping with an more and more difficult energy/ energy value atmosphere?
- Can I proceed to scale this infrastructure however achieve this in a smart, sustainable manner?
- Can community bandwidth be utilized extra effectively whereas nonetheless supporting present cloud community deployments?
Cisco’s cloud networking distinction
We’re exhausting at work in fixing these buyer challenges. 800G expertise is one in every of many steps on a journey. Our clients need constructive outcomes within the areas of experiences, economics, and atmosphere with respect to their hybrid cloud community infrastructure. So, our new Nexus 800G product will ship the identical advantages that Nexus cloud networking clients already take pleasure in together with:
- Excessive Efficiency: Huge throughput with Silicon One6T G100 ASIC and sensible system design that can energy the subsequent technology of community improvements and breakthroughs.
- Flexibility and Agility: Selections in community working methods, pace, kind elements, optics to satisfy nearly any use case.
- Programmability: Enabled via open APIs and protocol assist in our cloud community optimized OS.
- Density and Scale: For each fastened and modular methods providing scalability from 100G to 400G to now 800G.
- Power Effectivity: Considerably improved energy per bit leveraging 112G Serdes expertise.
- Simplicity: Manageability, optics backward compatibility enabling much less tools wanted to scale increased.
