Cisco’s Unified Edge brings AI inference to distributed sites

Cisco is turning edge locations into full AI infrastructure with Unified Edge, a modular platform that combines compute, networking, and storage for real-time inference outside the data center. The system supports CPUs and GPUs, up to 120 TB of storage, redundant power and cooling, and 25-gigabit networking, while Cisco Intersight provides centralized management across distributed deployments.
