The energy at Cisco Live EMEA in Amsterdam (February 9-13, 2026) was primarily driven by groundbreaking AI announcements, & the event provided Fabrix.ai an opportunity to strengthen our strategic position alongside Cisco and Splunk ecosystems. The event’s focus on AI, highlighted by the recent Cisco AI Summit, emphasizes a clear market direction in which Fabrix.ai is perfectly poised to accelerate innovation.
Key Highlights at Cisco Live EMEA
- The “Gigawatt-Scale” Foundation: Silicon One G300
As AI clusters scale massively, the network often becomes the bottleneck. Cisco tackled this head-on with the debut of the Silicon One G300, a switching silicon capable of a staggering 102.4 Tbps of bandwidth.
- The Validation of ‘AgenticOps.’
Perhaps the most exciting shift for our team was Cisco’s heavy emphasis on “AgenticOps”. Cisco is officially moving the conversation from AI that merely observes to AI that reasons, decides, and acts. They highlighted autonomous troubleshooting and validation concepts that are no longer just industry buzzwords, but the new IT operating model.
- Nexus One: Unifying Data Center
Cisco introduced Nexus One to simplify the sheer complexity of modern data centers, unifying silicon, systems, optics, and software under a single operating model.
- AI Defense: Securing the Autonomous Supply Chain
As agents become more autonomous, security risks become far more complex. Cisco addressed this with massive updates to its AI Defense solution, including an “AI Bill of Materials” to track the intent of AI software assets, and Advanced Algorithmic Red Teaming to stop “poisoned tools” from hijacking an agent’s authority.
- Quantum Cryptography
Cisco announced the industry’s first full-stack PQC protections within its new IOS XE 26 operating system to protect regulated and sensitive data.
The Perfect Trio to Accelerate AI Transformation: Cisco + Splunk + Fabrix.ai
Cisco’s strategic integration of Splunk is creating a unified platform for security, observability, and network management, all supercharged by AI. This convergence demands real-time data processing and intelligent automation, exactly where Fabrix.ai’s core capabilities shine.
Fabrix.ai’s Synergy with the Ecosystem
Fabrix.ai acts as the crucial ‘Agentic’ layer that helps maximize the ROI of Cisco & Splunk investments and ensures they’re fully utilized for AI-driven insights and automation. Here are some value propositions and key capabilities of Fabrix.ai Agents.
| Value Proposition | Enterprise Value | Key Fabrix.ai Capabilities & Agents |
| Unified Telemetry & Data Fabric | Eliminates data silos by ingesting, normalizing, and enriching complex Cisco network telemetry before routing it directly into Splunk. | Robotic Data Automation Fabric (RDAF), 1,500+ pre-built data bots, and deep integrations with Cisco Catalyst Center, Meraki, and DNAC. |
| Splunk ITSI Acceleration | Drastically reduces time-to-value by automatically decomposing services and creating entities, vital metrics, and KPIs directly within Splunk. | Automated Service Decomposition, CloudFabrix Asset Analytics App, and CloudFabrix Unified Network Observability App. |
| Agentic AI for Cisco (NetOps) | Acts as a “digital network engineer” to autonomously assess change risks, ensure configuration compliance, and perform root cause analysis on Cisco infrastructure. | NetOps Agents: Network Change Risk Assessment, Network Config Compliance, ACL Change Audit, RCA for Networking Issues.
Asset Agents: Asset Capacity Insights. |
| Agentic AI for Splunk Operations | Automates the management, resilience, and reporting of the Splunk platform itself, accelerating incident response and turning alerts into autonomous actions. | Splunk Agents: ITSI RCA, Service Desk, ITSI Resilience, PlatformOps, ITSI Insights, Exec Summary & Reporting. |
Fabrix.ai @ Cisco Live EMEA 2026
Cisco Live EMEA was a resounding success for Fabrix.ai. We had productive conversations with several Cisco & Splunk executives, engineers, and key ecosystem partners, further validating the necessity of our technology in this rapidly evolving landscape. Here are a few clicks from the event:
The future is defined by Agentic AI, and Fabrix.ai is thrilled to be a strategic partner, ready to build and innovate alongside Cisco and Splunk. Tot ziens, Amsterdam! We will see you next year.
