Neocloud Providers Are Making Waves - And Cisco Is Helping Them Do It
Cisco, Monday, December 29th, 2025
The rapid adoption of generative AI and agentic AI is spurring demand for AI infrastructure and the need for a rich ecosystem that can deliver the complete AI lifecycle. In this environment, a new breed of AI cloud providers-often referred to as neoclouds-has emerged as agile, technically sophisticated players building highly specialized AI cloud services to serve new markets and needs.
At Cisco, we are dedicated to working with the full range of ecosystem participants. This includes the traditional hyperscalers, as well as these newer neocloud providers and foundational model builders. It also includes communications service providers, colocation providers, and sovereign cloud providers that augment AI cloud services by delivering the AI hosting, secure ubiquitous connectivity, and trusted infrastructure and data services enterprises need.
