Cisco 8000 and OVHcloud a Successful Adoption since 2020 - CSSSPG-2389#
Cisco Live Europe 2025 (Amsterdam) digest Program Adjacent pick Amsterdam · 9–14 February 2025
Speakers: Antoine Petit (Cisco Systems, Inc.), Laurent Galais (Cisco), Simon Peccaud (OVHcloud)
- Why: A multi-year end-user deployment at Europe's largest cloud provider is the kind of case study the triage rules favor — but the abstract reads as a partnership success story with no scale, performance, or cost numbers disclosed, so keep expectations measured.
- What: The OVHcloud deployment of Cisco 8000 Series (Silicon One) routers since 2020: deployment process, collaboration with Cisco support, integration into the existing network, and lessons learned. (from abstract only)
- How: A narrative walkthrough of a large European cloud provider adopting Silicon One-based routing across its infrastructure, emphasizing operational efficiency and the support relationship.
- Where applicable: Large cloud/SP operators. The useful content depends entirely on whether the recorded session includes real deployment figures (scale, migration friction, power/TCO outcomes) — the abstract's absence of any numbers is a warning sign that this may be closer to a customer-appreciation slot than an engineering case study.
