Case Study: Cisco achieves global AI scale and resilience with CockroachDB

Cisco scales AI across 7 regions and 65K TPS with Cockroach Labs

Cisco, a global leader in networking solutions, faced significant operational and scaling challenges with its AI and cybersecurity products after acquiring Armorblox. Their legacy PostgreSQL infrastructure created complexity, could not keep up with growth, and required excessive maintenance, hindering their ability to meet customer SLAs. To prepare for widespread global scale, they sought a new database solution and engaged Cockroach Labs.

By migrating to CockroachDB, Cisco AI built a modern, scalable infrastructure across seven global regions. The solution provided simplified scaling, built-in resilience, and enabled the secure development of all new AI products. The results included handling 65K transactions per second, eliminating excessive database maintenance, and ensuring seamless data synchronization for real-time AI-driven automation. CockroachDB became the foundational data platform supporting Cisco's global growth.
