Cisco Unified Edge
An AI-ready platform that the edge demands
Redefine edge computing with a full-stack platform that delivers data center performance, modularity, centralized management, and built-in security where you need it most.
Edge computing, reinvented.
Traditional edge deployments are fragmented, hard to manage, and lack the performance modern workloads demand. Cisco Unified Edge brings together converged compute, modular hardware, Intersight management, and zero-trust security into a single AI-ready platform — so you can run data center workloads at the edge with confidence.
Why Cisco Unified Edge
A purpose-built platform that solves the three biggest challenges at the edge: performance, operations, and security.
AI-ready edge
Full-stack converged compute with a modular design and partner ecosystem that delivers real-time AI inferencing, video analytics, and data processing right where your data is generated.
Simplicity from device to data center
Zero-touch deployment, pre-validated blueprints, and centralized Intersight management let you deploy and operate thousands of edge sites as easily as one.
Security at every layer
Multi-layered zero-trust architecture with tamper-proof hardware root of trust, drift-free configurations, and continuous compliance monitoring from edge to cloud.
Purpose-built edge hardware
Cisco Unified Edge platforms are designed for harsh, space-constrained environments while delivering the compute density and AI acceleration your edge workloads demand.
Cisco UCS XE9305 Chassis
AI-ready, modular, edge-optimized chassis that supports up to three compute nodes in a compact form factor. Designed for ruggedized environments with front-to-back airflow cooling and redundant power.
Cisco UCS XE130c M8 Compute Node
Real-time AI inferencing in a compact form factor. Powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors with GPU support for demanding edge AI, computer vision, and analytics workloads.
Key capabilities across the edge lifecycle
Converged compute
Run virtualized and containerized workloads on a single converged platform that eliminates server sprawl and reduces your edge footprint by up to 50%.
Intersight management
One platform for full visibility and control. Deploy, monitor, and manage every edge node from Cisco Intersight — with zero-touch provisioning, firmware automation, and proactive health monitoring.
Zero-trust security
Hardware root of trust, secure boot, encrypted storage, and drift-free configuration enforcement ensure your edge infrastructure stays compliant and tamper-proof.
AI at the edge
GPU-accelerated compute nodes deliver real-time AI inferencing for computer vision, predictive maintenance, and intelligent automation without relying on cloud round-trips.
Pre-validated blueprints
Accelerate deployment with Cisco Validated Designs for common edge scenarios including manufacturing, retail, and healthcare — reducing time to production from months to days.
Partner ecosystem
A growing ecosystem of validated ISV partners including WaitTime, Sickbay, and more deliver turnkey edge applications for video analytics, clinical insights, and operational intelligence.
Software partners powering the edge
