Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced the Cisco 8223, an industry-first, advanced routing system designed to efficiently and securely connect data centers and power the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. As AI adoption accelerates, data centers face explosive demand, energy constraints, and increasingly complex security threats.
The Cisco 8223 was developed to meet these challenges – a 51.2 terabit per second (Tbps) fixed Ethernet router built to handle intense AI traffic between data centers. Cisco also announced its latest Silicon One initiative – the P200 chip, integrated at the core of the 8223. The combination of these two breakthrough technologies helps enterprises eliminate performance bottlenecks and prepare their network infrastructure for the AI era.

“As AI adoption in Vietnam accelerates, data centers are gradually reaching their limits in terms of power and processing capacity, creating an urgent need for secure, reliable connections between data centers hundreds of kilometers apart,” said Nguyen Nhu Dung, General Director of Cisco Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
“With the Cisco 8223 router, powered by the next-generation Cisco Silicon One P200 processor, Cisco is addressing these challenges by delivering the massive bandwidth, scalability, and security needed for distributed data center architectures.”
In many data centers around the world , AI workloads are increasingly exceeding the limits of power and infrastructure space. Large-scale computing providers are no longer able to scale vertically (increase capacity within individual systems) or horizontally (connect multiple systems within the same data center). This creates an urgent need to “scale across data centers” by distributing AI workloads across multiple data centers.
Energy efficient, scalable, flexible programming, strong security
Building a future-ready AI backbone today is essential – one that can meet the power challenges while remaining scalable, flexible, and secure. The Cisco 8223 provides customers with the capacity to handle growing workloads, the flexibility needed through end-to-end programmability, and the energy efficiency to directly address power challenges.

The 8223 routing system also stands out in the following points:
Outstanding Energy Efficiency: The Cisco 8223 is the most energy-efficient routing system for scale-across networks. With its compact 3RU design, the Cisco 8223 is also the most space-efficient solution in its class.
Maximum scalability without compromising performance: The Cisco 8223 delivers industry-leading bandwidth and the highest port density of any fixed routing system available today. As the only system equipped with 64 800G ports, the Cisco 8223 delivers exceptional routing performance, handling more than 20 billion packets per second and scaling bandwidth up to 3 Exabit per second.
Smart and agile: The Cisco 8223 intelligently adapts to network conditions in real time. Thanks to the intelligent and programmable P200 processor, the system supports emerging network protocols and standards without requiring costly hardware upgrades. This helps the network stay agile, avoid performance bottlenecks, and accelerate the deployment of new features as AI traffic continues to grow.
Security: The Cisco 8223 provides comprehensive protection at every level – from hardware, software, to the entire network. With features such as line-rate encryption using post-quantum-resistant algorithms, built-in security mechanisms, and continuous monitoring tools, the Cisco 8223 helps protect against emerging threats.
Cisco Silicon One – The most scalable and programmable unified network architecture
Cisco Silicon One is a complete portfolio of networking devices, serving a wide range of needs from AI, hyperscaler, data center, enterprise to service provider. Introduced in 2019, Cisco Silicon One is now playing an important role in many large networks globally.
