How Cisco Built an Enterprise AI Factory: Scaling Economics, Performance, and Security
Cisco, Friday, November 6th, 2026
Cisco IT built a multi-tenant enterprise AI factory that it says tripled GPU utilization and supports 90,000 employees.
Cisco IT describes moving from project-specific AI clusters to a unified, full-stack, multi-tenant AI factory across its global data centers.
The shift was driven by the rollout of MyAgent, an enterprise super agent for Cisco's 90,000 employees, and expanded capacity for Cisco IQ production workloads serving thousands of enterprise accounts.
Cisco says infrastructure is the internal control point against power limits, chip shortages, and cloud pricing volatility, using pooled compute, real-time token spend visibility, built-in security, and optimized rack density.
The architecture combines compute, networking, security, and observability, and Cisco reports it tripled GPU utilization while delivering mission-critical reliability.
