Harness the power of open NOS on flexible and scalable Silicon One systems.
Experience massive scalability combined with open-source flexibility by running SONiC on Cisco 8000. Supporting Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) on the Cisco 8000 provides network vendors with consistent ASIC programming while allowing hyperscalers to benefit from silicon innovations.
An open, disaggregated architecture provides unity across multiple vendors and ASICs. Get the flexibility to create diverse network solutions while leveraging the strength of a large ecosystem and community with simplified operations.
Our continued innovations depend on close collaboration with industry partners and draw upon knowledge learned from the SONiC community. Cisco will continue to share contributions such as VxLAN, MACsec, and Dual ToR with this community.
The breadth of use case coverage in DC Fabric, DC Edge, and WAN network implementation empowers users with best practices and operational simplicity, with a variety of successful cases to reference.
When minutes matter, get help fast for your Network Open Architecture with 24/7 access to our expert hardware and software support engineers in the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.
