Cisco and Meta Partner on Open Compute Project Contribution
9 Nov, 2021
At the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, Cisco and Meta are unveiling the Wedge400C, a 12.8 Tbps white box system utilizing Cisco Silicon One
SAN JOSE, CA - November 9, 2021 - As part of its commitment to the open source community and the hardware and software disaggregation movement, Cisco announced today it is collaborating with Meta on an Open Compute Project (OCP) contributed design. Meta has deployed the Cisco Silicon One Q200L device along with the Wedge400C Top of Rack (TOR) switch. Cisco Q200L uses 7nm technology to provide a 12.8 Tbps solution for web scale switching and routing. The 12.8 Tbps Wedge400C supports up to 16 ports of 400G and 32 ports of 200G. Meta worked with Cisco to develop and deploy two new next-generation TOR switches. The latest versions of Meta’s Wedge TOR, the Wedge 400 and 400C, offer higher front panel port density, and greater performance for AI and machine learning applications, while also enabling future expansions. The Wedge 400 and 400C have several improvements over the Wedge 100S, including 4x the switching capacity (upgraded from 3.2 Tbps to 12.8 Tbps), 8x the burst absorption performance, and a field-replaceable CPU subsystem. “Cisco Silicon One is uniquely positioned in the industry to provide a common architecture across the entire network, enabling massive operational efficiencies for our customers,” said Rakesh Chopra, Cisco Fellow, Common Hardware Group Architecture and Platforming, Cisco. “The Q200L is an important part of Cisco’s expanding Silicon One product family and as part of our overall disagg component model, it provides Meta a building block to innovate on top of, at hyperscale efficiency and scale.” For more on the Cisco and Meta partnership, please
