  "summary": "Cisco Systems Inc. has revamped the edge computing landscape to better accommodate the data-heavy demands of artificial intelligence (AI). Traditionally viewed as a back-end support function, edge computing sites have evolved into AI-ready compute systems with optimized hardware, centralized visibility, remote deployment, and full-stack lifecycle management. As AI workloads migrate towards the edge to process data closer to its source, Cisco has introduced its Unified Edge platform, a converged hardware solution that combines computing, networking, and storage in a modular system designed for real-time AI inferencing at the edge. With support for central processing units and graphics processing units, up to 120 terabytes of storage, redundant power and cooling, and integrated 25-gigabit networking, Cisco's Unified Edge aims to provide customers with a comprehensive core-to-edge framework for processing AI workloads. The platform integrates Cisco's Intersight management platform, enabling organizations to centrally monitor and manage distributed infrastructure from the data center to the edge.",
