Cisco distinguishes data residency, meaning where customer data is persistently stored at rest, from data processing, meaning computation performed on it, and states that data may be processed outside the storage region to reach the GPU capacity needed for large language models and advanced speech recognition.

processing means computation only: data is transmitted via encrypted TLS 1.2+ channels, exists only in RAM for the duration of processing, and is not stored at the processing location.
