Cisco to Build AI-Ready Data Centres Globally, Says CEO Chuck Robbins

San Diego – Cisco Systems is ramping up its focus on artificial intelligence, with plans to develop AI-centric data centres and future-proof workplace solutions for enterprises worldwide.

Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Chuck Robbins, Chairman and CEO of Cisco, emphasized the company's strategic direction:
"We want to help enterprises build AI-ready data centers, future-proof their workplaces, and do it all on a foundation of digital resilience."

Robbins highlighted Cisco’s competitive edge—its integrated networking and security capabilities, which he said competitors lack. This combination, he noted, enables Cisco to offer a secure and scalable foundation tailored for AI-driven digital transformation.
