It allows Cisco's AI to divide a computer network into smaller parts to improve performance and security.
"We're moving from a world of scarcity to a world of abundance, with digital AI assistants for everything," Patel told CNBC. "Those assistants live in data centres.""So when you consider the increase in requirements that this places on the data centre, and how we build for that, there is a need to rearchitect, not build more of the same," said Patel.
He said that new technologies like AI and machine learning are needed to identify and patch vulnerabilities to be compressed from days to minutes. Cisco share price performance year-over-year, compared with the performance of the Nasdaq Composite over the same period.
